here's nothing quite like a festive market to bring out the Christmas spirit in people.
While these events can be traced back to Vienna -- the city's first recorded December market was in 1298 -- the tradition has spread across the world over the centuries.
From Germany, to Switzerland, to New York, it's difficult to find a coveted destination that doesn't hold an impressive annual advent market.

Here's our rundown of the some of the top Christmas markets around the world this year.
