December 1, 2025
The holiday season in Austin is full of warm traditions, and one standout celebration is the German-Texan Christmas Market, hosted by the German-Texan Heritage Society. Whether you’re looking for unique gifts, festive food and drink, or a cozy outing for friends and neighbors, this event delivers on all fronts.
Why It’s Worth the Visit
Located at 507 E 10th St., Austin, TX, the Market will open to the public on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
You’ll find:
- Authentic German Christmas items imported from the Erzgebirge region.
- Traditional Glühwein (hot spiced wine) — a German holiday must.
- German music, food (pretzels, stollen), children’s activities, and a festive atmosphere.
How to Make the Most of It
- Arrive early to explore the vendor booths before it gets crowded.
- Bring a reusable cup or mug if you’d like to enjoy the Glühwein experience.
- Plan to shop for decorative items, ornaments or holiday gifts that are hard to find elsewhere (especially if you love unique artisan or imported pieces).
- Consider pairing your outing with dinner or a stroll through downtown Austin for a full evening of holiday fun.
Living at The Anderson means you’re right in the heart of Austin’s vibrant culture, and this German-Texan Christmas Market is a perfect example of that blend. This event checks the boxes for style, tradition, and local flair.
