Munich Airport is transforming into a winter wonderland for the 25th time this year: The Christmas and winter market, a long-standing tradition, will open on Friday, November 14, at the Munich Airport Centre (MAC). From then until December 28, 2025, travellers from all over the world, visitors, and employees are invited to linger, enjoy, and marvel.<\/p>\n

With a festively decorated pine forest, cosy huts, twinkling lights, and the scent of mulled wine and roasted almonds, the Christmas and winter market offers an atmospheric break from the hustle and bustle of the airport. Around 40 market stalls offer handmade gift ideas, culinary specialties, and winter treats from the region.<\/p>\n
