A singing Christmas tree and a Baroque abbey
Advent markets with a coffee house between each
Illuminations, then the first shrine visit of the year
Three Baltic capitals, three claims to the first tree
Where Silent Night was first sung, in 1818
Midnight mass, a hundred cribs, empty ruins
Two Advent capitals, and Germany's oldest market town
The market that every other Christkindlmarkt copies
Tree, windows, rinks, and the Met's crèche
Santa at the Arctic Circle, then real darkness
Nativity cribs shaped like the city's own towers
Three cities, and a julbord table in each
Christmas market, torchlight procession, street party
The oldest Christmas market in France, then the villages
Georgian markets, stone villages and carol services
Nativity scenes, chestnuts, and no real winter
Light shows, port lodges and a river tree
Tivoli under half a million lights
Advent market by day, outdoor hot pool by night
Flemish squares, ice rinks and winter beer
