Hofer Christmas Market 2026: New specialities and partner cities

Hofer Weihnachtsmarkt 2026: city announces programme and offerings

Hofer Weihnachtsmarkt 2026 runs from 23 November to 23 December in Hof's old town. In a new announcement dated 13 November, the city of Hof presents a wide range of offerings. Alongside traditional Christmas stalls, there will be new food options, rotating stalls run by local associations and contributions from the partner cities. There is now much more information about this year's offerings than when applications first opened.

Partner cities and rotating huts

One special feature is the five rotating huts, where associations, organisations and speciality food sellers can present their products. Associations from the partner cities of Villeneuve-la-Garenne in France and Joensuu in Finland are also taking part. You can discover local specialities and learn about the partnerships there. The offerings change, so it may be worth visiting again.

Hofer Weihnachtsmarkt 2026: food and drink

The city has announced a wide variety of food and drink. Alongside Hofer Bratwürste, gingerbread and roasted almonds, the offerings include Baumstriezel, Baggerla, falafel, hand-baked bread from a live bakery, soups and chicken schnitzel. There will also be langos, crêpes, Käsespätzle, Flammkuchen, fish, Turkish specialities and pulled pork. Churros and various hot drinks are also on the menu. The mulled wine pyramid in the centre is a prominent meeting point.

Gifts and regional ideas

According to the city, the market stalls include Christmas decorations, spices, clothing, baked goods and other gifts. The range stretches from traditional Advent products to more unusual items such as mystery boxes. The rotating huts in particular make room for smaller sellers and handmade goods. If you are looking for gifts, you can easily combine your market visit with a stroll through the city centre.
