Nuremberg Children's Christmas

Nuremberg Children's Christmas has been an integral part of ‘Christmas City Nuremberg’ since 1999. A visit to Hans-Sachs-Platz is on the pre-Christmas calendar of many families because it is particularly suitable for prams and small children and the entire concept is designed with children in mind. But parents are also well catered for, of course.

The Nuremberg Fire Tongs Punch

Every year, when the Nuremberg Christmas Market opens, a small village of wooden huts springs up between the meat market stalls, surrounding the world's largest Feuerzangenbowle (a traditional mulled wine punch). It is a romantic spot overlooking the River Pegnitz, illuminated by the bright glow of the flames above the specially made cauldron. Images from the cult film ‘Die Feuerzangenbowle’ starring Heinz Rühmann are shown on screens around the wooden stalls. For many Nuremberg residents, enjoying a cup of Feuerzangenbowle with friends or family has become a firm tradition in the run-up to Christmas.

Nuremberg Children’s Christmas

The Nuremberg Children’s Christmas Market is an enchanting Christmas village designed especially for children and families. On Hans-Sachs-Platz, right next to the Christkindlesmarkt, little visitors can look forward to nostalgic carousels, a steam train, festive treats and lots of lovingly decorated stalls.

The numerous hands-on activities are particularly popular: children can do crafts, make candles, bake biscuits or get creative. With a bit of luck, they might even meet the Nuremberg Christ Child in person and tell him their Christmas wishes.

The Children’s Christmas Market makes a visit to Nuremberg during Advent an unforgettable experience and builds up the anticipation of Christmas for guests of all ages.
