Winter forest atmosphere, ice rink and curling in the heart of the city center
Holzminden in the Weserbergland region focuses on a presentation during the Advent season that goes far beyond the classic Christmas market. With the natural ice rink and the opportunity for ice stock sport, the market square takes on a wintery profile that attracts families, school classes, and companies from the entire region every year.
Rustic wooden stalls, subtle lighting, and wintery-green decorations transform the market square into a small winter forest. This staging sets the Christmas market apart from comparable events and creates an intimate, cozy atmosphere. Between the stalls, the air is filled with the scent of mulled wine, roasted almonds, and bratwurst.
The clear highlight is the natural ice rink. On an area of approximately 500 square meters, skaters glide around – adults pay 4 euros, children 3 euros. Skates can be rented on-site. The rink is suitable for both beginners and more experienced skaters.
For families, clubs, and companies, ice stock sport offers a communal winter pleasure. One hour costs 50 euros for up to eight people – reservations are required. This booking option has become particularly established for company Christmas parties and birthdays.
In addition to the classic food stalls and handicrafts, the Christmas market offers a changing stage program with choirs, schools, and regional music groups. Children can look forward to a visit from St. Nicholas and small hands-on activities during the weekends.
The 2026/2027 edition continues the popular concept of the Holzminden Christmas Market, with a special focus on the winter experience around the natural ice rink. The Holzminden City Marketing will publish the detailed stage program before the opening.
The exact 2026 program will be published by the organizer in the fall. The structure follows the proven key points:
Marktplatz, 37603 Holzminden.
From November 20, 2026, to early January 2027.
