bayerische weihnachten mit tonkrug

During Advent there are beautiful customs and customs in all parts of Germany and the world, but in Bavaria the Christmas season is particularly cozy. Just in time for the first weekend of Advent, the Christmas markets with their magnificently decorated stalls open and a wonderful smell of spicy mulled wine, fresh waffles and roasted almonds wafts through the brightly lit city centers. St. Barbara's Day marks the beginning of the festive season: On the longest night of the year, branches are cut from fruit trees and placed in vases. They bloom around Christmas Eve and are said to attract spring. The next day the Krampus Run takes place in the more rural regions. Krampus is Santa Claus' sinister companion and punishes children who have not been well-behaved over the year. On the eve of the sixth of December, parades with creepy dressed Krampus figures take place in many places. The tapping also takes place around the same time. To commemorate earlier times when poor people went from door to door asking for a little food for the holidays, today crowds of children parade through the village singing songs and being rewarded with sweets.

If you also want to bring a piece of Bavarian Christmas home, we recommend our beer package of the same name. Bavarian Christmas with Clay Mug provides you with five Bavarian beer specialties and a stylish mug for a cozy Christmas atmosphere in and outside of Bavaria.
