Cuxhaven Winter Magic (Kurpark Christmas Market)

Tradition with Sea Air

The Cuxhaven Winter Magic takes place in Kurpark Cuxhaven, one of the most beautiful recreational areas in Cuxhaven's beach landscape. In close proximity to the North Sea beach and the large wellness hotels, the market attracts guests from all over the region and beyond. The special atmosphere arises from the interplay between the spa park's idyll, the clear sea air, and the festive lighting.

Stalls, Food, and Drinks

As befits a North German Christmas market, mulled wine, hot apple punch, and eggnog are a must. The stalls offer bratwurst, crêpes, shrovetide cakes, roasted almonds, candy apples, and smoked fish. Arts and crafts, Christmas decorations, and gift ideas also find their place.

Long Duration and Year's End

A special feature of the Cuxhaven Winter Magic is its unusually long duration: while most German Christmas markets close around December 23rd, the market in Kurpark Döse runs until after New Year's. This makes it one of the few markets that provides a festive atmosphere even between the holidays and on New Year's Eve – a clear advantage for wellness and spa holidaymakers visiting Cuxhaven during this time.

Festival Program

The program includes performances by regional choirs, brass bands, children's and craft activities, as well as themed weekends. Santa Claus also pays a visit to the market and delights the youngest guests with gifts.

Cuxhaven – North Sea, Wadden Sea, Recreation

Visitors to the Winter Magic can combine their visit with a walk on the beach, a visit to the famous Kugelbake landmark, or a mudflat tour. In winter, the North Sea shows its wild, impressive side – and the Winter Magic in the spa park provides a warm, festive contrast to the fresh sea air.
