  • About Skansen’s Christmas market

    In 1903, the foundation was laid for the much-loved Christmas market at Skansen. What began as a market similar to the charity bazaars of the time, involving a small group of participants from Skansen’s staff and members of Skansen’s Folk Dancers, soon grew into one of Stockholm’s most popular Christmas events with hundreds of participants.

    Over the years, generations of families have taken part with their handicrafts, and hundreds of thousands of happy visitors have come here to soak up the Christmas spirit.
