When Children's Eyes Shine: Nicholas and Christkindl Come to Traunstein
On Friday, December 12, 2025, families will experience a heartfelt family experience at the Traunstein Christkindlmarkt: The Traunstein Christkindl will move across the town square together with Nicholas, angels, and the friendly Kramperln of Dobe Boch Deifen. Children will receive small treats and the opportunity for shared photos. This creates learning fun, children's laughter, and precious time together amidst the glow of lights.
Heartfelt Moments in a Sea of Lights
Right at the beginning, children and parents feel the special sense of community of the Christkindlmarkt: calm music, sparkling booths, and curious looks at Christkindl and Nicholas. The encounter is child-friendly, fear-free, and accessible – even the Kramperl can be greeted and photographed in a friendly manner. This creates an age-appropriate learning experience around tradition, courage, and consideration.
Pedagogically Valuable and Age-Appropriate
The encounter strengthens social development: children experience traditions, practice respectful communication, and expand their knowledge of Bavarian Advent customs. The offer is particularly suitable for kindergarten and elementary school children but is open to all age groups. Parents remain in sight to ensure safety and orientation at all times.
Family-Friendly Conditions
The town square in the historic old town is centrally located and easily accessible. The Christkindlmarkt offers diverse catering, warm drinks, and protected areas away from the hustle and bustle. Information about changing facilities and accessible restrooms will follow; families should ideally plan short distances and enough time for arrival and breaks.
Safety with Reasonable Care
The event takes place outdoors. Warm clothing, non-slip shoes, and a designated meeting point are recommended in case one briefly loses sight of each other. Photographing is explicitly welcome; please be considerate of other children.
Conclusion
Families can expect a festive Advent start with proximity to genuine traditions: Nicholas, Christkindl, angelic accompaniment, and the Dobe Boch Deifen create joy, wonder, and curiosity – a brief, intense experience that strengthens the heart and values. Mark the date now and experience the magic live!
