Baden-Baden Christmas Market – The Magic of Advent Right Outside Your Hotel Door
Six Weeks of Sparkling Lights at the World Heritage Site
When the spa gardens in front of the Kurhaus are transformed into a sparkling Christmas village, the most wonderful time of the year begins in Baden-Baden. Handcrafted arts and crafts, fine specialties, live music, and the festively lit colonnades make the Christkindelsmarkt one of the most atmospheric Advent markets in Germany.
From the Atlantic Parkhotel, you’re just a few minutes’ walk from the heart of the action—best enjoyed on foot along the wintery Lichtentaler Allee. And if your fingers get cold, our fireplace lounge is waiting for you.

What to Look For When It Hits the Market for the First Time in 2026/27
Maria Groß at the “Aperostübli”
The 2026 Falstaff Chef of the Year from the Bachstelze in Erfurt is participating for the first time with her own booth—featuring Thuringian specialties ranging from grilled bratwurst to chocolate truffles, apple punch, and homemade mulled wine. On many days, she welcomes her guests in person.
The Ever-Changing Pop-Up Shack
A new selection arrives here every two to three weeks—such as wickerware from Alsace, Ayurvedic products featuring chai, or select olive oil. If you stop by a few times, you’ll discover something new each time.
Portrait Studio at the Trinkhalle
Artist Kai Stuht is transforming the historic Trinkhalle into a temporary portrait studio. In just a few minutes, your personal portrait will be created—the classic photo shoot is free, and you’ll receive the digital image on your smartphone.
