Warm mulled wine, soup made from bread dough, hot baked potatoes - the pre-Christmas season brings back special memories. Holidays in winter don't always have to be about skiing or Hiking in the mountains. Fortunately, there are enough Christmas markets in Europe that entice with a magical atmosphere - and are definitely worth a trip.
