The Docklands Christmas Market was officially opened recently and coupled with the snowy conditions it was an ideal place to soak up the festive atmosphere. The market is also filled with brightly decorated wooden huts and chalets selling an array of unique Christmas gifts, including beautiful Christmas decorations, handmade arts and crafts and other unusual stocking fillers.

At the market you can warm your mitts on everything from hot cherrypunch, hot Apple Punch and hot chocolate to mulled Gluewein and creamy Eggnog. The scrumptious aroma is sure to attract gourmands for the seasonal culinary specialities including Bratwurst sausages, German breads, savoury cakes, pies and much more.

And, as if that weren’t enough, all chalets are offering a 10% discount to shoppers from Monday to Wednesday! There’s plenty of entertainment everyday too so get down to the IFSC for a dose of traditional Christmas. Check out www.ddda.ie for details.
