The Seattle Christmas Market opens this week & it has a 50-foot walk-through tree

The Seattle Christmas Market is almost back, bringing with it the most wonderful time of the year with plenty of holiday cheer.

According to the Seattle Christmas Market, it will take place at the Seattle Center from November 21st to December 24th, 2024, and there will be new things to check out!

“We’re beyond thrilled to return to Seattle Center for year two,” said Malte Kluetz, CEO and Founder of the Seattle Christmas Market. “The warm welcome we received from the community last year has inspired us to expand with new activations, 20+ additional craft, food and drink vendors, daily musical entertainment, and a 2024 Special Edition double-decker carousel, with unlimited free rides, as always.”

This season, you will be able to check out over 80 wooden huts with “thoughtfully curated European and locally made crafts ideal for everyone on your holiday gift list.”

There will also be variety of new food and drink vendors, and you’ll be able to have traditional favorites like raclette, spätzle, perogies, and of course, Glühwein.

This year, The Winterdeck, near the Fisher Pavilion, will be the new entrance to the Market. There you will find lots o photo opportunities, activities, and Santa’s Snow Globe, “an igloo-themed structure where Saint Nick will be on hand for photos.”

Other new things to check out include a Lovers’ Lane light installation and the 50-foot walk-through Christmas tree with countless twinkling lights.

There is also, as mentioned, a 2024 Special Edition double-decker Christmas Carousel and the Fairy Tale Forest featuring German fairy tale-inspired displays and excerpts from the classic stories, according to organizers.

This is just the second year of the holiday festivities, which was founded in 2023.

Ready to check it all out for yourself? This year’s Seattle Christmas Market will be on from November 21st to December 24th.
