Christmas is fast approaching, and with it come plans to enjoy the season in Mexico City. If you love Christmas markets, international cuisine, and warm drinks, mark this event on your calendar: the Weihnachtsmarkt 2026 will be held at the Goethe-Institut Mexiko on Saturday, December 5, with completely free admission.
This traditional German-Mexican Christmas market will bring together food, music, and activities for the whole family in an atmosphere inspired by German holiday celebrations.
Plus, you can visit from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., so you’ll have most of the day to explore and enjoy everything it has to offer.
Mulled wine, German food, and a Christmas atmosphere in Mexico City
One of the highlights of the Weihnachtsmarkt will be Glühwein, a traditional German drink made with hot wine and spices. It’s especially popular during the winter and is commonly found at Christmas markets in Germany.
But it won’t all be mulled wine! The event will also feature German culinary specialties, as well as other traditional foods and drinks that you can enjoy during your visit.
The celebration will feature music, family-friendly activities, and a festive atmosphere to kick off the Advent season, a tradition that marks the weeks leading up to Christmas.
As a reference, the 2025 edition featured German sausages, baked goods, vegetarian options, and musical performances. However, the specific program for 2026 has not yet been announced, so these activities are not confirmed for this year.
