Advent Glow at the Town Square: The Traunstein Christmas Market 2025
With the beginning of Advent, the town square in Traunstein transforms into a cozy winter village. Visitors can expect a dense market atmosphere between Jacklturm and the parish church of St. Oswald: the scent of mulled wine and roasted almonds, warm light at lovingly decorated huts, and handmade gift ideas directly from regional producers.
Regional Variety and True Craftsmanship
More than 25 festively decorated huts showcase handcrafted unique items and seasonal specialties. Arts and crafts, woodwork, ceramics, Christmas decorations, and fine textiles meet direct marketers with cheese, honey, sausages, and baked goods. The shopping experience thrives on short supply chains, traceable origins, and regional quality seals.
Moments of Enjoyment: Scents, Colors, Taste
Freshly steaming punch, spicy mulled wine, and Chiemgau delicacies ensure moments of comfort. Grilled bratwurst, cheese noodles, and oven-warm desserts accompany strolls through the Advent market. The sparkle of lights, evergreen, and Christmas sounds create an atmosphere that invites lingering.

From the festive opening to musical contributions by local ensembles, visits from St. Nicholas, and family programs like puppet theater, the market offers vibrant Advent culture daily. Highlights include traditional customs performances and interactive activities for children.
