[Video] Tastiest treats at German Christmas markets

Dec 15, 2019

Lebkuchen, Bratwurst, Reibekuchen, Glühwein, ahhhhhhh… If you ask us, it’s not a traditional German Christmas market without a large serving of German food. 

The best German food at the Christmas markets

But with so many fabulous treats, sweet somethings and regional specialities on offer (and only a limited amount of stomach space!) it can be hard to know where to start. So, which foods are absolutely must-have this festive season, how are they made and - most importantly - how do you eat them like a German?

Join DW presenter Kate Müser as she chomps her way through the tastiest treats at German Christmas markets. A word of warning - this is likely to make you drool! 

Do you agree - are these the best treats to be found at German Christmas markets? Or does something else tickle your fancy? Let us know in the comments below!
