Frankfurt Christmas Market 2025: A feast for the senses until December 22nd!

The Frankfurt Christmas market is an absolute highlight of the pre-Christmas season and is once again attracting numerous visitors to the city center. From November 24th to December 22nd, 2025, the Christmas hustle and bustle extends across the Roßmarkt, the Hauptwache, Friedrich-Stoltze-Platz, the Römerberg and along the banks of the Main. Not only lovers of culinary delicacies will get their money's worth here: over 200 festively decorated stands offer everything your heart desires - from fragrant mulled wine and bratwurst to roasted chestnuts to traditional Frankfurt specialties such as Bethmännchen. In other words, a veritable land of milk and honey for all gourmets looking for the best Christmas treats, as [augsburger- Allgemeine.de](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/panorama/projekte/weihnachtsmarkt-frankfurt-2025-heute-oeffnungszeiten-programm-anfahrt-22-12-25-112799114) reports.

A special highlight is the large Christmas tree on the Römerberg, which is illuminated at the opening and creates the magical atmosphere. Until shortly before the holidays, a varied program with concerts, tower bubbles and even a visit from St. Nicholas on December 6th provides festive entertainment. Even on Christmas Eve, the large city bells will not be missing, which also creates an atmospheric ambience, as imowell.de reports.

Diverse program and entertainment offerings

The opening took place on November 24th at 4:30 p.m. with a festive program. Mayor Mike Josef gave a short speech, followed by a Christmas concert from the Frankfurt Opera and an impressive carillon from the Alte Nikolaikirche. In addition, tower brass players provide Christmas sounds on various dates, while numerous musical performances take place across the market at various locations such as Römerberg and Roßmarkt.

Another highlight is the newly designed children's Christmas market on Mainkai, where the little ones are offered a colorful program with craft workshops, fairy tales and interactive plays. In recent years it has been shown that children's festivals are very popular, and the 2025 concept is sure to delight young and old again this year. Performances by women's, children's and mixed choirs accompany the celebrations and are complemented by various concerts by fire brigade orchestras and municipal ensembles, so visitfrankfurt.travel.

Practical tips for your visit

If you are planning a journey, you should be prepared to use public transport, as direct parking spaces in the city center are few and far between. Buses, subways and S-Bahn take visitors comfortably to the market. The U4 and U5 lines stop at the Dom/Römer and the tram lines 11, 12 and 14 stop at the Römer/Paulskirche stop, which makes getting there extremely easy. Parking is available in surrounding car parks such as Hauptwache, Konstablerwache and Dom/Römer.

To fully enjoy the Christmas market, we recommend coming during the week. Opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. - ideal for a romantic evening stroll or a sociable outing with friends. For everyone who is still looking for the perfect Christmas present, there are handicrafts and toys - here you can have a good hand and find what you are looking for.

Overall, the Frankfurt Christmas market 2025 promises an unforgettable experience for all the senses. The lights, the scents and the sounds of the pre-Christmas season create the perfect backdrop for contemplative moments and happy encounters.
