🎄 24. Dezember – Heiligabend 🎄

Today is Heiligabend, the heart of the German Christmas season. While Christmas Day follows, this evening is when families truly come together: trees are lit, candles glow, carols are sung, and presents are shared.

Heiligabend isn’t about rushing or excess. It’s about presence. About sitting together after a long Advent, reflecting on the year that’s been, and welcoming the warmth of Christmas with those around us.

May this evening bring you peace, connection, and gentle moments that linger long after the lights fade.

Frohe Weihnachten. ✨

🎄23. Dezember – Frohe Weihnachten🎄

As Christmas approaches, families across Germany are preparing for Heiligabend, the evening of 24 December, when Christmas is traditionally celebrated. Homes are tidied, trees are lit, meals are prepared, and there’s a feeling of quiet anticipation in the air.

Christmas in Germany is often about togetherness, calm moments, and shared traditions; whether that’s music, food, stories, or simply being in the same room.

Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful and joyful start to Christmas.

⭐ 22. Dezember – die Sternsinger ⭐

In Germany, one of the most heart-warming winter traditions is die Sternsinger, groups of children who dress as kings and sing from door to door.

Although this tradition takes place in January, families often talk about it and prepare during the Christmas season. Children sing, share blessings, and collect donations for children in need around the world.

It’s a beautiful example of a tradition centred on kindness, community, and giving back; values that bring families together at this time of year.

🛷 21. Dezember – der Schlitten 🛷

Sledding, or Schlittenfahren in German, is one of those winter activities that brings generations together. Whether it’s children racing downhill, parents pulling sleds back up, or grandparents watching and cheering from the side, it’s a tradition full of shared laughter and fresh winter air.

Simple moments like these, wrapped up warm, outdoors, and together are often the ones we remember most.

🧢 20. Dezember – die Mütze 🧢

When winter really sets in, one thing becomes essential: the Mütze! In Germany, children grow up hearing “Zieh deine Mütze an!” (Put your hat on!) as soon as the temperature drops.

Woolly hats are a winter staple, keeping ears warm during snowy walks, trips to Christmas markets, and school mornings in the cold. A small item, but an important part of winter life. ❄️

🦌 19. Dezember – das Rentier 🦌

Did you know the German word Rentier sounds almost exactly like reindeer? A fun one to spot if you’re learning German!

While reindeer aren’t native to Germany, they’ve become a firm part of winter storytelling and Christmas imagery; appearing in festive markets, decorations, and children’s books throughout December. Their calm strength and ability to travel long distances in winter make them powerful symbols of endurance and teamwork.

Perfect creatures for the final days before Christmas. 🎄

✨ 18. Dezember – der Sternenhimmel ✨

As Advent draws closer to Christmas, many villages and towns across Germany switch on their Christmas lights around this time; illuminating streets, windows, and market squares. Against a dark winter sky, the lights feel even more magical, mirroring the stars above.

In quieter areas, winter evenings also offer clearer views of the night sky, making star-gazing a peaceful December tradition. A lovely moment to pause, look up, and enjoy the calm before the festive days ahead.

🍪 17. Dezember – der Keks 🍪

In Germany, Christmas cookies are called Plätzchen, and baking them is one of the most loved Advent traditions. Families often spend entire afternoons baking together: flour on the table, festive music playing, and tins slowly filling with different shapes and flavours.

From vanilla Kipferl to spiced Lebkuchen, these cookies aren’t just treats; they’re a way of sharing time, stories, and memories in the lead-up to Christmas.

Sometimes the sweetest traditions are the simplest ones. ✨ #

🎶 16. Dezember – die Musik 🎶

Music plays a huge role in the German Christmas season. From school halls to cosy living rooms, children grow up singing traditional carols and „O Tannenbaum“ is one of the most loved of all.

In many German families, singing together is part of Christmas Eve traditions, often before or after opening presents. It’s not about perfect voices, it’s about togetherness, shared memories, and passing traditions from one generation to the next.

A lovely reminder that sometimes the simplest moments create the strongest sense of connection.

🐧 15. Dezember – der Pinguin 🐧

Penguins are a favourite winter character in German children’s books and one of the most well-known is Caruso the penguin from „Der kleine Eisbär“ by Hans de Beer.

In the story, Caruso represents friendship, curiosity, and learning to adapt to new places; themes that resonate beautifully during the winter season.

A gentle reminder that even in cold landscapes, warmth comes from connection and kindness. 💙

❄️ 14. Dezember – Es schneit! ❄️

When it snows in the Alps, the Christmas season truly comes alive. Stretching across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the Alpine region is one of Europe’s snowiest landscapes with some areas receiving several metres of snowfall each winter.

Snow doesn’t just transform the mountains; it shapes traditions too. Winter walks, wooden chalets glowing with light, and the deep quiet that only fresh snow can bring are all part of Advent in Alpine regions.

Whether you’re near mountains or not, today is a gentle invitation to slow down and enjoy the stillness winter offers.

✨ 13. Dezember – der Stern von Bethlehem ✨

A symbol of hope, guidance and that magical moment in the Christmas story when the bright star led the way to Bethlehem. ⭐

In Germany, the Stern von Bethlehem is often placed at the very top of the Christmas tree, a glowing reminder of light during the darkest days of winter. Families light candles, bake festive treats, and share stories of how Christmas was celebrated when they were children.

🌟 What does the Christmas star mean to you?
