From November 24 to December 23, you are once again invited to stroll past over 100 Christmas stalls under the festively illuminated lilies, drink mulled wine, snack on chestnuts and soak up the Christmas spirit at the Sternschnuppenmarkt (opens in a new tab) on Schlossplatz and in front of the Marktkirche. Handmade oriental lamps, handicrafts and wool from Nepal, mulled wine from winegrowers, almonds and nuts from Vienna await you.

With a bit of luck, you might meet the "Three Lilies", the mascots of the shooting star market. Their blue velvet dresses with the lilies embroidered in gold go back to the Wiesbaden city coat of arms, which has been adorned with three golden lilies for centuries - a sign of the historical connection to Nassau tradition and at the same time a symbol of dignity, purity and protection.

Don't miss: a ride on the Ferris wheel (opens in a new tab) on Mauritiusplatz! From a height of 45 meters, you have a fantastic view of the city. Don't forget to visit the Kurhaus - there is a beautiful Christmas tree made of 2,000 red Advent stars in the foyer ...

A Christmas market with a castle backdrop and a view of the Rhine - is there a more festive setting? With its 21 lovingly decorated stalls, the Biebrich Christmas market at the castle is a real project of the heart - the Biebrich clubs and associations working group is organizing the event for the fourth time.

There is mulled wine, waffles, venison sausage from the Rheingau and international specialties. On December 6, Santa Claus arrives at 4 pm.

On the weekend of the 2nd Advent, Schloss Vollrads will once again open its Christmas courtyard. Fine sparkling wines and (mulled) wines, wild sausages, beautiful handmade items, live Christmas music and a colorful program for children await you - all in the most beautiful festive castle atmosphere.

The Chausseehaus (opens in a new tab), located right next to the city forest, is perhaps the most romantic place to get in the mood for Christmas. You can warm up by the fireplaces, listen to the girls' choir, make candles while listening to Christmas music and buy beautiful gifts such as beeswax candles or delicacies.

Workshops are also offered, for example for making an Advent wreath. Finished Advent wreaths will be available to buy in the Chausseehaus from November 29.

The Christmas market at Hofgut Adamstal (opens in a new tab) is particularly cozy, thanks to the rustic wooden cladding of the historic estate, which is surrounded by greenery and very close to Wiesbaden. Between a crackling campfire, mulled wine and lots of homemade treats, you can get in the mood for Christmas. A carousel, a children's cinema and baking bread by the fire await children.

Culinary delights are also available - mulled wine, barbecued game specialties from our own hunting ground, soups and sweets such as cinnamon buns and crêpes.
