Yeah, with all the ‘Sinterklaas’ festivities just behind us, everybody is now ready and super excited for the Christmas holidays. It really is the most wonderful time of the year right? Well, in this blog I’d like to guide you through some of my favorite Christmas markets in town. Hopefully easing the decision on where to go this weekend, hope I am not making it harder. Best thing, They are all free of admission meaning more money to spend on presents! Here we go!

As you might know I am a fan of the monthly Sunday markets at the Westerpark/Westergasfabriek. This Sunday the annual Xmas edition will take place! Get ready and buy your christmas presents early. All sorts of amazing products, great food and some live entertainment. Great plus, the market is inside the beautiful ‘Gashouder’, so you’ll be nice and dry during these awfully cold and rainy days.

Although this market is not in the Jordaan or its direct surroundings, I adore the Pure markets which are located in the Amstelpark (south) or Park Frankendael (east). Pure market is a monthy event, which now focusses on the holiday season. This edition of the winter market will take place in the Amstelpark. This market is all about sustainable products, which is great if you ask me. Keep in mind that this market takes place outside!

I am definitely looking forward to this one. The most unique and wonderful gifts can be found on the Sissy-Boy Christmas Market. This one only takes place once a year! So rain or no rain, I will be paying a quick visit to score some presents. You’ll find art, vintage, design, furniture and much more.

Sincerely,

Mr. J
