Colmar is a well known city in the region of Alsace, France. Its characteristic buildings, the narrow streets and the small river flowing through are worldwide famous.

However, it is during Christmas that the city gets the most attention.
Thousands of people from all over Europe decide to spend one of the Advent weekends to wander around this beautiful city and hundreds of *little wooden huts*.
In fact, this town becomes a small Christmas village, with decorations and lights on every building and the famous Christmas market covering every possible inch of it.
Walking around this city really makes you feel the Christmas Spirit!

Of course, it can get really cold during this time of the year. That is why Alsatians wander around drinking the *Vin Chaud* (literally "Hot Wine"). This beverage is prepared by mixing sugar, various spices, such as cinnamon and cloves, and red wine. They are served in a plastic glass, which can be reused multpiple time or returned for a couple of Euros. However, every year the glass is designed differently, so many people keep it with them as a collectible!
Here is 2024 version:
