We Try to Eat EVERYTHING at a German Christmas Market 2024
We are no strangers to Christmas Markets in Europe! We have traveled from our home in Amsterdam for years now to see Christmas markets in Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and more!
This year, Katrina’s little sister, Kimmie, came to visit us and really wanted to see a true European Christmas Market. We think Germany has the best markets overall, and luckily the Essen markets open fairly early.
Essen is only about a 2.5 hour drive from our home in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, so we were excited to make the quick trip! We tried to eat (and drink) as many different things as we could, and really had a great time exploring the Essen Christmas Markets!

✼ ABOUT US ✼
We are Nate and Katrina, two Americans living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and traveling as much as we can to see what there is to see! Call us expats, immigrants, whatever… just call us already.
We balance work life with travel… as best we can! We would love to visit every country in Europe while we live here, and definitely keep a list of our global “must visit” destinations.
We try to give you a true view of us and how we travel and explore the world. Lots of food, definitely some jokes, and probably some swearing…. Hope you enjoy taking these trips with us!

Essen essen in Essen , yeah
Eh, you are praising your sister like she needs to be sold! 😂
The wonderful dreamy weather of Essen… wet cold and just meh…. love the video, and thx for visiting my hometown.
Of all the Christmas markets in Germany, you end up in Essen? Greetings from the north of Essen
Next stop Trinken
17:00 maybe u eat this: Rhenish donuts are made from choux pastry and often with raisins. They are scooped out with a spoon and then baked in hot fat.[1] Rhenish donuts are not filled and are just rolled in sugar and often cinnamon.
Quark balls – variant made from choux paste with quark
but in some regions they have different names for it or with the same name u will get a differnet product´that depends on the region.
essen==to eat
@nateandkatrinadotheworld the Christmas Markets in Dortmund,Cologne,Dusseldorph and Aachen are great 👍 😊
@nateandkatrinadotheworld there is a nice Christmas 🎄 Market at the Palace Dyck near the city of Neuss. Very nice
Try Backfisch next time it’s backed fried Salmon
German Bratwurst 🌭 always yummy
"Let's get a drink" – I like Kimmy already!
beautiful and fun video wee, towards the end of the year it is always the most fun, I wish you happy holidays in advance
A Christmas market WITHOUT bad weather is not a Christmas market. It is just boring because there is no real reason to drink mulled wine or stuff your stomach with warm food. It is only when it is cold and wet that the Christmas market is really fun.
Such a glamorous time in your Christmas Market 🎄❤!
Such a glamorous time in your Christmas Market 🎄❤!
Why this fucking City??….OMG….
Is Sister Kimmie spoken for? I should ask from a friend. 😁
By the way. You should try the market in Lübeck. We go there every year. Next weekend, this year.
1:00 YARRR i am a pirate – I am just missing my barrel of rum
Why are you showing that Satan sign?
Essen is the german word for Eating 😅
Beautiful Video 🎉☃️❄️🍷🧑🎄
Rot Weiss Essen ❤🤍🇩🇪
Nice Video. If you want to visit a christmas with live music and Party area, go to Essen Steele. Search "Weihnachtsmarkt Essen Steele" its only 10- 20min away from Essen Mainstation.
6:50 I know this as Kürtős Kalács also from Hungary.
Truly miss the markets at this time of year. Sorta figure out my retirement list to visit eventually and wanted visit Germany again. Just can't make decision between October Fest times or the Christmas market times. But, based vlog, definitely looks like you guys really cold all bundle up.
great editing the vlog, I was wondering when the vlogger was going with non-alcoholic warm drinks till the end of vlog.
Hi guys, what a fantastic video about my hometown X-mas market.
It´s quite interesting to see and hear your view about it by people from other countries,.
While you have filmed your video last week I was enjoying night markets in Thailand 😀. Anyhow, I very much like your approach to bring in some kind of infotainment and entertainment about our x-mas markets.
I think I have to change plans for upcoming weekend and cancel home cooking and Dinner but instead going for Glühwein and Reibekuchen to my local x-mas market 3-4 KM away from the Central market in Essen-Steele.
