The 2025 Birmingham German Christmas Market, commonly known as the Frankfurt Christmas Market, is well underway and continues to delight visitors with its charming wooden chalets stretching from Victoria Square to New Street since November 1. This festive market is the ideal spot to enjoy seasonal treats, share drinks with friends, and shop for unique Christmas gifts.
Visitors can indulge in freshly made crepes and waffles, sip on traditional Gluhwein, savor German beer, warm up with boozy hot chocolate, or feast on a hearty giant Bratwurst while soaking up the joyful holiday atmosphere.
If you’re planning your festive outings, it’s important to note that the market will close on Christmas Eve, Wednesday, December 24, 2025. Unlike some markets that extend beyond Christmas, the Birmingham German Market will not be open after December 24, so visiting between Christmas and New Year’s Day won’t be possible.

For anyone looking to combine a visit to the market with last-minute Christmas shopping at the Bullring, December 24 offers the perfect opportunity to experience both.
