The 10 best Christmas leisure activities in Berlin 2025
Mulled wine, skate blades and the scent of freshly baked biscuits: the Advent season 2025 turns Berlin into a big stage for everyone who wants to enjoy winter. At the Zehlendorfer Weihnachtsmarkt, an ice rink invites you to glide in circles under illuminated trees, and at the Backschule Charlotte you learn the craft of the perfect Christmas biscuits. If you like it festive and a little quirky, follow the Crazy Christmas Market Tour through the city or listen to Shakespeare's winter tale in the former silent-film cinema Theater im Delphi. From the Roncalli Weihnachtscircus in the Tempodrom to the Feuerzangenbowle in the Nikolaiviertel, there is something on offer for the whole family. Which of these activities puts you in the most beautiful festive mood?

For this list I wanted to find Christmas activities that go beyond the classic stroll across the Christmas market. Variety and genuine experiences mattered to me: baking yourself, gliding across the ice, listening to a winter story. I looked for offers that work for different tastes and for young and old, so that everyone finds their very own Advent moment in Berlin.
