Issue 24: December 2023 What’s more festive than a Christmas Market? Literally NOTHING.In this episode, we’re talking all things Christmas Markets, from warm bevs to chestnuts, sausages and stews. Will, Jill and Julia take themselves out for a cheery evening at the RAW Gelande Medieval Christma Market, where they stay warm by sipping Glühwein and watching a fantastic fireshow and axe throwing. But Glühwein isn’t the only treat on offer at Berlin’s dozens of Christmas markets - the team discuss their favorite snacks and sweets to try.
