Is there any thing better than a Christmas market?
Christmas markets are right up there with food comas and spending quality time with loved ones as the very best things about the festive period.
The smell of delicious treats, the mulled wine, the weird trinkets for sale in the stalls...they're perfect.
And it seems the good people at Big 7 Travel are also quite the fans of Christmas markets.
They've just named their 50 best markets in the world and they're certainly some amazing ones on the list.
