Edinburgh's Christmas

Winter warmer (mid-Nov–early-Jan)

Edinburgh Christmas Fair

Edinburgh's Christmas is a collection of family attractions and events that offer a healthy dose of Christmas spirit. Over the last decade they've begun to rival Hogmanay itself, traditionally Edinburgh's big winter hurrah.

The setting could hardly be more glorious, since the event (long called Edinburgh's Winter Wonderland) is mostly centred on Princes Street's gardens.

Here a German-style Christmas market – mulled wines; sausages; crafts – takes over while neon blazes above surrounding fairground rides. An ice skating rink is set up for the ocassion too (rentals available).
