It  takes  a  lot  to  prepare  for  the  fes.ve  season,  and  on  average,  a  cake  stall  like  this    takes  up  to  4  months  to  prepare  for  the  coming  December.    Maggie  Talbot,  the  stall  owner,  said  “a  team  of  8  of  us  work  5  days  a  week  for  4  months  prior  to  Christmas.”

The   tradi.onal   ornament   stalls,   which   was   originally   what   the  Christmas  markets  were  about,  now  a  days  do  not  sell  as  much  compared  with   the   food  and  drink   stalls.   This   Crystal   stall   only  got   2   sales   within   an   hour,   whereas   the   donut   stall   sold   to   a  countless  number  of  customers.

When  the  Christmas  markets  first  started,  they  put  fruit  on  skewers  and  covered   them   in  chocolate  as   they  did  not  have  many   ‘sweet  treat’  stalls  so  this  was  sort  of  a  last  resort.  

 So  much  so  that  the  idea   of   ‘chocolate  fondue’  as  we  know  it   today,   originated  from  this  stall.

The  most   popular   stall   throughout  most   Christmas  markets   tends   to  be   the   Bratwurst   stalls.   They   are   a   bit   like   a   hotdog   but   they   use  German  pork  sausage  instead.  Stall   worker   Sabrina   Lowe   said:   “The   Bratwurst   stall   is   defiantly   the  most  popular,  each  year  it  has  the  most  queues  and  intake!”

The  Christmas  markets  have  always  been  known  as  the  ‘German  Christmas  Markets,’  as  demonstrated  in  the  picture  below,  however  this  is  not  technically  true.  The  Christmas  markets  actually  originated  from  Austria  in  1294.  Austrian  people  took  to  the  markets  to  sell  their  goods  for  money  to  buy  loved  ones  Christmas  presents  with.

There   are   the   more   general  stal ls   that   appear   at   al l  Christmas   markets   but   every  town   that   hosts   the   markets  will   have   a   local   varia.on   of  stalls,   for   example   the   Leeds  Christmas  markets  have  a  garlic  bread  stall,  and  a  stall  that  sells  snow   globes   with   ‘Leeds’  wriUen  in  them.

Every   single   Christmas   market   has  the  head  of  a  moose  somewhere   in  it,   this   is   tradi.onally   put   up   as   a  central   point   of   the   markets.   The  people   gather   round   the   moose’s  head  to  sing  carols.    However   stall   owner,   Nastassia  Wortle,   said:   “It’s   not   as   much   a  tradi.on   now   as   it   was   15   years  ago.”

Most   towns   in   the  UK  now  welcome   the   fes.ve  markets,   but   the  first  ever  Christmas  markets  was  in  Lincoln.  This  was  because  of  its  close  friendship  with  a  small  German  town  that  used  to  send  hats  and  warm  clothing  goods  over  to  Lincoln,  un.l  it  became  a  tradi.on  every  year.

Every   Chr istmas   market  tradi.onally   has   a   carousel,  this   was   because   the   parents  used   to   leave   the   children   on  t h e   c a r ou s e l   w i t h   t h e  aUendant   and   the   adults  would   go   off   and   browse   the  stalls.    The   children   never   really  experienced   any   other   aspect  of   the   markets   but   this  tradi.on  has  preUy  much  died  out  now.

There   are   thousands   of  people   that   go   to   the  Christmas  markets  more  than  once   every   year.   This   year,  around   720,000   people   are  expected   to   aUend   the  Christmas  markets  in  Leeds.    Maria  Anastaiadi   said   “I   have  travelled   from   Greece   to   the  Leeds   Christmas   markets,   I  didn’t  expect   them  to  be   this  busy!”
