The first number is available at the Frankfurt Christmas market. The market also wants to avoid the hassle of broken cups from previous years.
The Frankfurt Christmas Market kicks off on November 24 – and with it comes the question of how much mulled wine will cost this time. According to a spokesperson, classic red wine prices averaged between 4.00 and 4.50 euros this year. This means that prices remain moderate compared to other countries, but slightly more expensive than in previous years.
The look is also new: the Frankfurt 2025 Cup comes in glossy black and carries the World Design Capital 2026 theme. In addition to the classic cup with the Frankfurt coat of arms, there is a second version with a motif by illustrator Verena Mack.
As usual, the Frankfurt Christmas market stretches from the Mainkai above the Römerberg to the Roßmarkt – with over 230 stalls and a new children’s Christmas market right on the river bank. The official opening will take place on November 24 with the lighting of the “Frau Holle” Christmas tree.
