Update: 2025-12-06
Description
Birminghams Frankfurt Christmas Market, one of the largest authentic German markets outside of Germany and Austria, has been a city center fixture since 2001. Despite debates on the timing of the Christmas season, it attracts millions of visitors annually, including Alexandra from Transylvania, Romania. The market, run by Frankfurt Christmas Market Limited, offers traditional German food, drinks, and crafts, but some locals and visitors yearn for less commercialism and more local offerings. The markets success raises questions about the one-sided relationship between Birmingham and Frankfurt, as Birmingham could benefit from showcasing its unique gastronomy in Frankfurt.
