Take a wonderful self-drive holiday in Southern Norway with a Christmas trip to Kristiansand, which transforms into a beautiful and atmospheric Christmas town every December. From the official start of the market until Christmas is over, there will be plenty of exciting things to do in the city, from the market itself with its many stalls and lovely smells and ice rink to the big, beautiful 3D light show at the city's cathedral. The sound show has become a very popular tradition and runs for several days in December. There are also plenty of great shopping opportunities and the town's shops are usually open on Sundays for the last three Sundays in December.

Let yourself be seduced by the many impressions at the market and wander around the stalls, which offer crafts, art, homemade goods, jewellery and, of course, Christmas gifts and inspiration in all shapes and sizes. Of course, there are also several food stalls where you can find roasted almonds, mulled wine and much more.
