Berliner Weihnachtszeit

Many say that Christmas is just around the corner but for us it truly is. No really, within a five mile radius we see tons of Christmas markets each filled with stalls full of wonderful craftsmanship to gift our loved ones as well wondrous smells from people cooking up delicious goodies. As we continue discovering the Christmas markets of Berlin, we came across Berliner Weihnachtszeit vor dem Roten Rathaus. On every corner there are Christmas trees beautifully decorated.

One of the things we tried was a Schneeballen which is a pastry ball made from short crust pastry. This one that we had was flavored with nut nougat. We both weren’t super thrilled with the flavors of this treat, it was pretty bland. We did think that it would probably taste better with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

One of the magical things about this market is seeing Weihnachtsmann also known as Santa Clause fly across the sky with his reindeers. Julie had so much excitement, she felt like a child once again seeing Santa for the first time.Read more
