In years gone by, at this time of year we would all be going out to the various Christmas markets we had planned to visit throughout the festive season. However, this year after the COVID-19 pandemic, things are going to be very different! What with most, if not all Christmas markets now cancelled, Christmas 2020 is set to be mainly an online affair instead. However, this will NOT get us down, we shall enjoy the festive period! We may not be able to go out to the markets, but they will come to us instead. Online Christmas markets are sprouting up all over the place at the moment.
Here are our top picks for Christmas events this year…
Christmas Market 2020
This one started only a few months ago by a friend and fellow blogger Chantelle Joy and is proving to be VERY popular. With most, if not all stalls now fully booked. Plus a jam packed line up of events including – craft making workshops and Christmas author Q&A’s. They have stalls from delicious chocolates and fudges, to homemade soaps, gift hampers, toys and jewellery. Plus so much more! The thought of leaving your house now to venture in to the cold seems bizarre when you can do it all from home.
Online Christmas Fair
Another great sounding Christmas market is the Online Christmas Fair who have a great selection of products on offer. Everything from – tasty liqueurs and beach wear, to handcrafted oak furniture and personalised socks! Plus everything else in between. Also, become a member and get 25% off site wide with the code – OCF2020.
Online Christmas Events
However, perhaps you’re looking for more of an event or a workshop instead? If this is the case then you should check out Eventbrite’s list of online craft fair’s. They have everything from – Q&A’s with professional crafters to demonstrations with textile and wool makers. Definitely a great one to check out if you’re feeling crafty!
Bath Virtual Christmas Market
There are a few of the original (in-person) Christmas markets that have now gone online. So if you loved visiting the Bath Christmas market, you can still do so virtually. Local to us, this is one we haven’t missed for the last 5 or 6 years. They have stalls from – grown up marshmallows, decadent brownies and gorgeous cheeses. To glass ornaments, aromatherapies and thermal clothing.
Yes, this Christmas is going to be different but it’s still going to be great! It is what you make of it – so make it amazing! Let’s just hope Christmas 2021 is going to be so much better and that things are back to some kind of normal. Online shopping is great but i do miss the atmosphere, sights and smells of being at one in person.
We hope you have an amazing Christmas no mater what you’re doing or who you’re with this Christmas time. As long as we are all safe and well, that’s all that really counts right!
See you all for Christmas 2021!
