A special extra post today for a spin-off from the main Hauptwache Weihnachtsmarkt in Frankfurt.

The Rosa (pink) Weihnachtsmarkt is a LGBT themed Gluhwein stand, in Friedrich-Stoltze-Platz, which as the name says, it lit up with pink lights. This is the only reference to the gay scene, but it is also the only place in Frankfurt I have seen selling hot Christmas cocktails! The also do a Gluhwein variation called Feuerzangenbowle which involves burning/melting a sugar cone above the Gluhwein pot so that it drops in. To be completely honest it tastes very similar, but fun to watch!

Overall the atmosphere is great and well worth a visit if you want a bit of variation in you Weihnachtsmarkt…
