✨ Cologne Christmas Market – A Winter Fairytale by the Cathedral

#hellochristmas ✨ Cologne Christmas Market – A Winter Fairytale by the Cathedral The Cologne Christmas Market feels like stepping into a glowing winter fairytale, especially with the majestic Cologne Cathedral rising above the stalls like a guardian of the season. As soon as you enter, the air fills with the scent of cinnamon almonds, mulled wine, and freshly baked waffles. Strings of lights shimmer above the crowd, turning the entire square into a sparkling canopy. Wooden chalets offer everything from hand-carved ornaments to delicate glass angels, each one crafted with heart and tradition. Choirs perform under the towering Christmas tree, their voices echoing through the cold night air. Children laugh around the carousel while couples warm their hands with mugs of steaming Glühwein. Despite the lively crowd, there are pockets of calm where you can simply stand and take in the magic. It’s a place where the Christmas spirit feels both timeless and deeply heartfelt. 🎄✨❄️
