Across Europe (and especially German-speaking areas), there is a wonderful tradition of Christmas markets: outdoor fairs that run for weeks in December, full of shops for gifts and stalls selling traditional Christmas foods (any number of sweet, hot pastries) and drinks like gluhwein, a hot spiced mulled red wine. When I found myself in Luxembourg in December a couple years ago, I discovered their Christmas market is spread across multiple areas and well populated all through both the day and night.
