• Why we recommend: Christmas in Birmingham begins the moment the Frankfurt Christmas Market comes back to Victoria Square. It has absolutely everything you need for a Christmas day out, from rides and live entertainment to warming drinks and shopping stalls

One of the best things to do in Birmingham this Christmas 2026 is the Frankfurt Christmas Market, returning to Birmingham's Victoria Square and New Street. This seasonal spectacle promises a holiday vibe like no other, with sparkling lights, an Instagram-worthy carousel, a massive Christmas tree, and even a towering Santa.

Famed as the largest German Christmas market outside Germany and Austria, it's a must-visit for its lively atmosphere. Sip on mulled wine or creamy hot chocolate while enjoying live music from local and international acts. Hungry? Dive into bratwursts, pretzels, schnitzels, and roasted almonds before finishing with a sweet crêpe.
