When the Ehrenhof of Schönbrunn Palace transforms into a sparkling sea of lights from November 6, one of the most atmospheric times of the year begins in Vienna: Until January 6, 2026, visitors can once again expect a magnificent Christmas world with traditional handicrafts, festive music, culinary delights, and winter fun for the whole family.

Over 90 festively decorated stalls present the best of local handicrafts, design, and cuisine at the Christmas Market Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna from November 6: From artfully crafted wooden figures and glass ornaments to handmade candles, fragrant spices, and fine woolen goods – the offerings are diverse.

Crafts, Delights, and Live Music at the Christmas Market Schönbrunn Palace

The Christmas market in front of Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Hot chestnuts, sweet crêpes, hearty delicacies, punch, and mulled wine provide moments of enjoyment under the open sky. New this year is the "Lindt Experience World – Golden Christmas," where visitors can immerse themselves in the world of fine chocolate.

Musical performances by choirs and ensembles, which regularly perform on the stage in front of the palace and create goosebump moments with Christmas melodies, also ensure a festive atmosphere. Another highlight is the artfully designed "Winter Wonder Mörbisch Crib," which features handcrafted figures in a winter setting.

Christmas Family Program in an Imperial Setting

The Christmas Market Schönbrunn Palace also places special emphasis on offerings for families in 2025. Children can look forward to carousels, small rides, and straw pyramids that provide plenty of fun. In the craft hut and creative workshop, the youngest visitors can make small gifts, Christmas tree decorations, or Christmas cards – a perfect opportunity to shorten the wait for the Christ Child.

The physical well-being of the little guests is also taken care of: There are children's menus, children's mugs with warm drinks, and mini-cabins specially designed for children. This makes a visit to the Christmas Market at Schönbrunn Palace a true family experience.

Winter Fun and Entertainment for Everyone

In addition to strolling and enjoying, the market also invites active participation: At the curling rink specially set up for the event, groups and families can prove their team spirit. A new addition is a small ice skating area, which is particularly suitable for children. Regular live music, readings, and small theater performances round off the program at the Christmas Market at Schönbrunn Palace.
