Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 31 October 2026

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Where you'll see them

Mostly in “where to stay” and “things to do” sections on city, market and country pages, linking to hotel booking sites and tour providers. Every block of affiliate links is marked “Ad”, with a short note above the links.

What it doesn't change

Our market rankings, dates and descriptions are editorial. No market, city or partner pays to be listed or to rank higher, and commissions never affect which markets we recommend. We only link to hotels, tours and services that fit a Christmas market trip.

Why it matters

Best European Christmas Markets is free for everyone who loves Christmas markets. There's no subscription and no paywall. Commissions from these links are how the site pays its way: hosting, and the research behind it, which means checking hundreds of markets' dates against official sources every season.

So if you're booking a hotel or a tour for your trip anyway, booking through one of our links is one of the easiest ways to support the site. It costs you nothing extra, and it's genuinely appreciated.
