Do you feel it too? That mixture of frost in your nose, fairy lights everywhere and the question of whether mulled wine actually qualifies as breakfast?

Even if it gets dark early outside and you feel like you're asking yourself three times a day why you should even leave the house: Leipzig shows you that winter isn't just cold, but can also be pretty nice.

Here in our favorite city, winter magic meets urban coolness. Yes, the days are short and the nights are endlessly long - but that's what makes December so special, isn't it? Leipzig transforms into a huge stage, packed with highlights that will make your winter heart beat faster. From the smell of roasted almonds at the stylish Christmas markets to hip concerts that will get the beat pumping in your blood - there really is something for everyone here.

And do you know what's best? You don't have to decide whether you like it classic and magical or modern and loud. Leipzig offers you both. Whether you want to stroll through festively decorated streets with your family, seek the ultimate winter wonderland feeling with your best friends or simply need a little time for yourself to enjoy this special time of year.

So, grab your favorite scarf, warm up your heart and come along - we'll show you what Leipzig has in store for you in December. Let's find the best moments together that are so worth the cold hands and red noses! 🎄✨
