BEST GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKET FOODS TO TRY😋Champignonpfanne, Stollen, Kräppelchen, Lebkuchen + more! 

Oh, this ancient type of music that was played at the second christmas market was part of the soundtrack from the film „drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel“ (three hazelnuts for cinderella). That film is one of the most popular fairytale films that is repeated for years on German TV during Christmas times. Definitely a must see for little princesses like Willa and their lovely mums❤️❤️

We bake Stollen here in Texas every Christmas, my wife and I love it. We also bake a few more for our friends when we visit.

Alright, today's the day. Willa is not going to get me today! I'm gonna focus on the content of the vid... *"Tschüssy ducks!"* Alright Willa, you just had to bring the big guns today...you win. Again.

I've been to the Christmas market of sorts in Fredericksburg, Texas and it was so much fun! Some day I hope to go to a real German Christmas market.. (there in Germany). I'm in a heavy German/Czech area and enjoy lots of variations of some of the foods. Love how Willa just is so willing to try new foods ❤️. Thank you for sharing!

"Tschüssie ducks" soooo sweet :)

Oooohhh, you were in Dresden, In the vicinity (only a few minutes' walk away) of the market are other markets, "Christmas Market at the Frauenkirche" or the "Midlle Age Christmas Market in the Stallhof", the whole City is a Christmas Market. If you want, let me know next time, I'm very happy to show you something new :)

Well, it is not the oldest but one the oldest Christmas markets in Germany. In Germany there is a long tradition of Christmas markets in almost every city, where mainly Christmas handicrafts, sweets and food are offered. Also of interest are the traditional or smaller, magical Christmas markets such as the Reiterlesmarkt in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the Christmas market in the Ravennaschlucht or the Nüremberg Christkindlesmarkt. The Dresden Striezelmarkt is one of Germany's oldest Christmas market and will open its doors for the 588th time in 2022. You read that right, this Christmas market has mostly been held on the Altmarkt in Dresden during Advent since 1434. But he is not alone in this, the Munich Christmas market was first mentioned in 1310, when it was still called Nikolausmarkt and the Stuttgart Christmas market was first mentioned in 1692.

I was born in Germany and still live here, but you have seen more of it than me 😄

The next video seems to come from the Spreewald. Maybe a Christmas market with a Sorbian influence. That would be something new. As long as Willa enjoys it, you've done everything right.

Striezel in the area of Dresden means Stollen and they send them from Dresden to every part around the world. Nice that you made it, the Erzgebirge is also very famous for Christmas, Annaberg Buchholz is lovely at this time and also Seiffen. I love to see you all trying the food, even Willa is not afraid to try something new and that's incredible. The Semper Oper, the Zwinger and the Frauenkirche are really cool, there is a reason why the nickname of Dresden is Elbflorenz named after the Italian city Florence. Wish you a nice third advent 🕯️🕯️🕯️ If you like it and you really get the chance to buy a Stollen from Dresden, then please don't miss the chance.

Willa is the cutest!

Oh.. Nice. I live not far from Dresden, but was years not at this market. I like the littles in the ore mountains... Thats the center of christmas 👍

What a lovely Christmas market, wow that sausage looked very very tasty 😋 Aww Willa with the Ducks ❤ just so cute . Great video looking forward to to the next one 😜

Der Striezelmarkt ist der beste Weihnachtsmarkt in Deutschland. Und die Stadt ist ein Traum.

In the U.S., a good selection of christmas products made in Germany, like Stollen, Spekulatius and Lebkuchen, are available at Aldi or Trader Joe's during this time of the year. (Trader Joe's belongs to Aldi Company). Also the brand "Moser Roth" (high quality chocolate) is sometimes available at U.S. Aldi stores.

I am from Saxony and you enjoying our Striezelmarket makes me really proud ;) Btw: You should try a “Krakauer” sausage at the Christmas markets! They are REALLY tasty!!

So great to see you enyoing this beautiful city! Did you also get do some sightseeing? The Frauenkirche is amazing!

really cool to see you dig into the old, traditional christmas markets

Beautiful sharing 💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I really start to think that you have seen more of Germany than I did, even though I grew up here … ;-)

I'm dating myself here, but I'm a little jealous that you guys got to visit Dresden. (When I last lived in Europe, the Iron Curtain had just come down) Have fun! 🙂

Wow! What a nice and beautiful Christmas Market!! I have been living in Germany for 6 years and I love this time of the year because of the Christmas Markets. I have never been in Dresden, but now I'll definitely want to go and try the food 😋. Thanks and greetings from Frankfurt

Kassler also works really well with red cabbage, Rotkohl in German. The pop of the sausage gets me everytime. Careful when eating Käsewiener (Vienna Sausage filled with Cheese, can be bought at LIDL) as you might get shot with hot cheese, lol. Dresden has some really spicy mustard, so I think this might be Bautzner Senf. Striezel isn't spoken with an "ei" sound. It is more the other way around, a longated "e" sound. Strie-zel. I hate raisins in Stollen, so I am glad there are versions without it. Stollen works really well as a soft bread replacement. Especially with butter or jam.

Good choice to try the Original, fresh Dresdner Christstollen! I remember back in the times when Germany was divided,our relatives from Dresden sent us a paket of Dresdner Christstollen (we lived in the Rhineland, west Germany). It was, although the way from east to west (package got inspected by the East German Regime before being sent to the west) took quite some time, much better than what you could buy here.

Love you guys and your stories! Take care and enjoy. ❤️

Stumbled on your videos from a random search and I'm so happy I did. Easiest subscribe of the year!

We enjoyed Dresden off Christmas market season and can't wait to see their market next weekend. Thanks for sharing! Also, if you get a chance, Dresden's Zoo is our favorite zoo that we've visited so far. Interactive exhibits and great playgrounds.

You sure show some fantastic cuisine options and cultural icons on your channel. However, I'd like to know how it is the three of you stay so slim and trim despite eating all those somewhat fatty foods? You should seriously consider doing a video detailing your exercise and fitness regimens! Thanks so much for giving the rest of us a bit of holiday cheer from the Old Country!

Your child is such a sweetie unbelievable 😉😊 My Childs are grown Up 24 and 20 and ism only 41 😱😁

Hi there, I've never been to the Striezelmarkt. I dont drink alc either and still remember the smell when I came out of the U-Bahn on Marienplatz in Munich. I dont like the smell but its part of every christmas market. The one in Nuremberg is more packed as far as I remember. I bet the musicians are traditional miners from the Erzgebirge which is well known for their wooden handcrafts and watch industry. You also did a trip to the Spreewald ? Hope you have bought some of the varieties of cucumber for which the Spreewald is famous for. At least always good to see Willa enjoy all the food, chocs and I am sure be impressed by all the lights. Tanner, you do a good job to keep your girls happy. Risa, hope and cross fingers for you both are well. Enjoy the the pre-christmas time. CU

I wish you a nice 3rd Advent.Thank you for this entertaining video.

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿Three thumbs up for this video! Can we get another Christmas market video? I love them and have been to only a couple in Italy and France and Switzerland. I now want to go to this Dresden one. I tried to eat along with you guys. Yummy yummy in your tummies! Thanks for sharing.

Champignonpfanne is my favourite

Lovely to see you visiting my home town. Hope you had the greatest time! :)

Love the videos!

Thanks for sharing your adventure at the Dresden Striezelmarkt ( should sound like 'streetselmarkt' ) ! Kaiserschmarrn is a typical Austrian dish so that might be a reason you didn't find it in Dresden.

I have been to Dresden Last summer I loved it

Hey, you’ve made it to my city. Enjoy ❤

I'm pretty sure Willa's "chocolate nuts" were "burnt sugar almonds" _(gebrannte Mandeln)._ :)

You should come to Esslingen: there is a Christmas and Medieval market, which is very popular/ famous. Great food and lots of fun for kids. It lasts til December 22nd. Or you'll be coming next time - wIth TWO kids. ;-)

Willa's so happy, and so is Mum's stomach..!

So awesome to see how you liked the German Christmas food! 🙂 And: Nice choice, choosing the Striezelmarkt in Dresden. We can also recommend all the Christmas Markets and events in the Harz (like Wernigerode). We have been there this month and loved it! ❤

Great to see this. We were there for the opening of the market but surprised they didn’t have the booth where kids could make and decorate a batch of cookies. Wonder if it was open for your visit? I imagine it wasn’t because I’m certain Willa would’ve loved it.

Yeah Dresden cool, im every years here. Im from Greiz/Thuringia, Where the best bratwurst is found, the original Thuringian bratwurst. I think it's great that you've moved to Germany, I wish you " Have fun " in Germany. I hope you visit me in Greiz, the park and castle city. Kind regards Mike, DJ Mike.

Willa wird zum YT-Profi!

my mom: 50 years ago everything would have been covered in deep snow.

Tschüss....das Kind kann ja auch deutsch🥲🙏

Crazy to see your daughter growing up... I remember the videos a year ago... To be a mother or a father must be great.

Danke für dieses tolle Video. Kann es sein das eure Tochter „Willow“ alles süße mag“ auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt in Dresden? Im Abspann zeigt ihr wie ihr unterwegs seid auf einem Boot wart ihr dort Unterwegs im Spreewald? Ich wünsche euch ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und kommt ins neue Jahr ihr drei.

If you ever visit a christmas market in northern Germany, try Schmalzgebäck or Muzen! It's my favorit thing to eat at Christmas markets. So yummy 😋

You could make Kaiserschmarn or Palatschinken really easy at home, yourself. Look up some recipes. :)

This market is more than 2 times older than the USA :D

great vid. Never made it to Dresden myself, so far, so thanks for taking us. Pls allow a little comment. The meaty ingredient in your second dish "Kassler mit Sauerkraut i nBrotlaib" is not a sausage, I am afraid. The Kassler is actually a piece of neck or rip or shoulder, salted and pre-cooked most of the times. they cut it in litle pieces and put it into the Kraut, I suppose... But you did find the very best christmas market dishes to be found... A homemade Stollen f.e. is not at all comparable to the supermarket junk blessings and all love from the Frankfurt area! PS: a little hint for next year: in a village called Siegburg near Bonn they have an ancient/medieval style christmas market which is incredibly cute and full of atmosphere. you might want to check out their web appearance under "historischer Weihnachtsmarkt Siegburg"; they also offer some programme and performances for the whole family around

Tschüssi ducks 😂🥰

you need to put butter on the Stollen!

What strikes me is that you seem more and more Germanized. I find that funny because it shows me that you like the German culture and adopt it. Maybe it's because of your German ancestors??? Schönen 3. Advent euch .................

Die Preise sind vollkommen in Ordnung!

Those are named "Pulsnitzer Lebkuchen" (or Pfefferkuchen) because they were invented in a small town near Dresden called Pulsnitz. The Kaiserschmarn you were looking for is more of a Bavarian and Austrian thing, so it's not too popular in the rest of Germany. A little fun fact: one of the most popular German christmas movies was filmed near Dresden.

Prices: now keep in mind the prices were half of today's prices, and that in DM, only 25 years ago. Meaning, prices have quadrupled, but salaries have not.

Oh wow those prices are high. I mean sure its a little bit more expensive on christmas markets usually but not like this. This is inflation. The only reasonable price for me was the sausage. I like the red ones more tho. The mushrooms were insane - 7€ for like 10 Champignons which are like the cheapest mushrooms you can get in germany. The material cost before cooking on those is like not even 1 €. Thats crazy.

welcome to dresden. how many of the 14 markets did you visit?

omg, your daughter is sooooooooo sweet when she was unpacking the sugar covered almonds

Striezel - pronounce "sh-tree-cell"

Stollen is used twice in the title

I hope the Stollen was not stolen 😂

Stop showing these fine meals. Use the new taste and smell video technology. What, not invented yet? But then it's about time.... 👩‍🍳😂😂

I think the prices are totally over the top this year!!!! In a certain degree I accept that at such places everything is more expensive - but this year - OMG....

Pornounced Shtreetzell Market

Mushrooms for 7€ thats a ripp off! 2 years ago it was 4,5€-5€ which is quit expensiv anyway 😕

Jetzt kosten ein paar Pilze mit Knoblauch schon 7 Euro, wo soll das nur hinführen..

Guys, you need to learn the correct pronunciation of German words. Rule #1: There is no random pronunciation of diphtongs as in the English language. Rule #2: "i" is always [e]. Either short as in king, villa, Justin when there is only "i": mit (with), in (in); or long when written with like "ie" as in freeze, meat, sheet: "viel" [feel] (many/much), Riese (giant) [reezah], or even Striezel... [stree-tsell...]

"sh--toll-en"

In EU you don´t need this sim driss every normal Provider has roming so your extra 44 Euro is includet !!!

What happened to your Ukrainians?

You have no idea of the downsides of an eSIM, do you? It's a privacy nightmare. But you do you. Just don't recommend such things to people. Same is true for 99% of VPN providers.

You guys do realise that a lot of foodstuff allowed in The US is banned in Europe? Food is always better in Europe..safer..

Please start learning German. By now you should be able to pronounce at least a few words correctly.

I LOVE 'STOLLEN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and 'Speckkuchen') 😚😂🤣

Der wird auch immer süßer. Ist „fast“ so niedlich wie meiner. 😘
