Festive Highlights in Colmar – Christmas 2025

Treasure Hunt “Colmar, un sucré Noël !”
From 25 November to 4 January 2026, visitors (families, couples and children) can take part in a romantic gourmet treasure-hunt starting at the Place Unterlinden (68000 Colmar). Participants follow clues through the old town, filling in a secret word as they go, and end at the Tourist Office for a reward.

Guided Christmas Town Walks
As part of the “Colmar, the soul of Christmas” programme, guided visits depart from the Tourist Office at Place Unterlinden around 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on selected days. These tours (running throughout the season) explore the city’s illuminated façades, traditions and heritage in a 90-minute walking route.

Children’s Carols on the Water in Petite Venise
On Wednesdays and Saturdays at 5:00 p.m., children’s carols are sung from small boats in the canal area of Petite Venise, creating a magical scene by the water-edge (near the Pont Turenne / Quai de la Poissonnerie). The series runs throughout the market period (25 Nov – 29 Dec 2025).

Indoor Artisan Market at the Koïfhus
From 25 November to 29 December 2025, the historic Koïfhus building hosts an indoor artisan market featuring about twenty local craftsmen (ceramists, wood-carvers, glass-blowers, jewelers). It’s a cozy retreat if the weather turns grey.

These events blend beautifully into the six festive markets (open 25 Nov-29 Dec) running across the town centre, giving you plenty to plan around.
