How to Stay Warm, Stylish, and Stress-Free at Europe’s Christmas Markets

There’s something about the glow of Christmas markets in Europe that feels almost unreal — the scent of roasted nuts, the sparkle of lights, the mix of cold air and warm glühwein in your hands.

But after a few markets (and one very damp night in Heidelberg), I learned something important: the right packing list can make all the difference between soaking up the magic and shivering through it.

This week on Mae Today, I put together a complete Christmas Market Packing Guide — everything you need to stay warm, comfortable, and photo-ready while exploring markets in places like Strasbourg, Basel, or anywhere winter takes you.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Smart, layer-friendly outfit ideas that actually look good in photos
• The best boots, coats, and accessories for long market days
• A free Printable Christmas Market Packing Checklist to make your trip stress-free

If you’re planning a December trip (or just dreaming about one), this is the post to bookmark.
