In Europe, “the Christmas Market” is an integral component to the Christmas culture, and is known as the “German Market” in many other countries. The reason for this is in fact very simple. The origins of the Christmas market can be traced back to Germany and Austria in Medieval period. The tradition at the time was to get everyone together to exchange and share good food, as well as items for practical or leisure use. Gradually people became accustomed to buying all kinds of food and supplies they needed to last the winter from the Christmas Market before Christmas Day. As more and more German immigrants settled down in other countries, this lively and fascinating tradition began to spread to all parts of the world.
Kaytrip, aUTour company, is located in Munich, Germany. Its Christmas-themed tour packages are now officially available. Aside from appreciating a number of European cities and their unique Christmas markets, while strolling about the various Christmas fairs, you will also have the chance to see enormous Christmas trees, taste mulled wine, and try German-style gingerbread and other delicacies.
German Mulled Wine
This is the seasonal drink during Christmas time. With red wine as the base, seasonal condiments and spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, alfalfa, fennel, citrus and sugar are added to the mix. Drunk after heating, the wine tastes warm while driving away the cold, and will ensure that you can wander around the markets without feeling too chilly. Holding a cup of this brew will also keep your hands warm. According to statistics, every German will drink half a liter of German mulled wine during Christmas time.
Lebkuchen
Lebkuchen, or the German gingerbread, is a snack somewhere in between a cake and a biscuit. The ingredients contain a lot of honey and ground pepper. The sweet and spicy taste of gingerbread is very unique, with the “Nuremberg Gingerbread” enjoying the highest reputation. Many different types of gingerbread have undergone improvement, with the surface of the snack now boasting a layer of chocolate or white syrup, in addition to almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts to add more variety to the flavor.
Candy Apple
It is said that this delicacy came into existence more than two thousand years ago in ancient Egypt. People used condensed juice from the palm flowers to make the syrup, before using it to coat the outside of the fig and date palm for the pharaohs to enjoy. Nowadays, one can taste the honeycoated apple at the German Christmas fairs. One bite and you are in paradise.
