SEATTLE — With prices rising and routines feeling heavier than ever, people crave a little comfort, nostalgia, and a little Christmas. That’s why the Seattle Christmas Market is starting the season early, inviting Seattleites to give themselves something to look forward to.
The Seattle Christmas Market returns to Seattle Center this November with tickets starting at just $5 on most days.
For those who want to keep the holiday spirit going, the Season Pass, now nearly 40% off during the Christmas in July promotion, is available for just $19.99 from July 7–31 and offers unlimited entry all season long.
“We heard loud and clear that people want more ways to enjoy the Market and that cost shouldn’t get in the way of a little Christmas joy,” said Tara Paschall, General Events Manager for the Seattle Christmas Market. “That’s why we’re once again transforming Seattle Center into a cozy European-style Christmas village and bringing together the best parts of the season, snow showers, karaoke, European treats, cozy drinks, crafts, Santa, and more, with the charm of a traditional European Christmas village. And we’ve made it easier than ever to return again and again, with a season pass that’s both affordable and flexible.”
Returning to Seattle Center from November 20 through December 24, the Seattle Christmas Market transforms the heart of the city into a European-style holiday village. Visitors can expect:
• Unlimited entry with your Season Pass
• Over 80 artisan vendors from around the world
• Daily snow flurries and festive photo ops
• Daily programming, including Christmas-themed karaoke and trivia
• Seasonal eats, like das bratwurst, spatzle, croffles & brioche donuts
• Handmade gifts, including Turkish lamps, sustainable jewelry, and European toys
• Traditional holiday drinks include the fiery crowd favorite Feuerzangenbowle, an amped-up version of mulled wine in which a rum-soaked sugarloaf is set on fire and drips into the drink. Also new this year is the Hot Aperol, a warm twist on the spritz that became famous in Vienna’s Christmas markets—this seasonal sip blends the bright, bitter-sweet notes of Aperol with Prosecco and a hint of winter warmth.
