The city centre of Buxtehude is transformed into a winter fairy tale land. Life-sized fairytale figures, fir woods and the large Christmas tree in front of the historic town hall create a pre-Christmas atmosphere.

The Christmas market in Buxtehude presents itself also this year like a fairy tale. Christmassy decorated stands, a colourful supporting programme with Santa Claus rolls, a gnome parade, reading aloud activities for young and old or the Grimm picture gallery get you in the mood for Christmas. On the first weekend of Advent, the Christmas post office opens its doors in front of the historic town hall so that children can leave their wish lists there. These are sent in winter fairy tale envelopes to the Christkind-Postamt in Himmelpforten.
