'Tis the season for the Benelux to turn into a winter wonderland. Starting at the end of November, many Christmas Markets open their gates in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
In Germany, every town, city or village has at least one Chritmas Market. Some even have four or five. Most German Christmas markets start around Nov. 24 and close around Dec. 23 or 24.
In Belgium and the Netherlands, the majority of Christmas Markets do not start until after the the fest of Sinterklaas, Dec. 5 and 6.
