November is half gone and the year is almost over. This means that it is time to gear up for Christmas. For those of you who have ever spent Christmas in Delhi, you know that it is celebrated with much pomp in the city. Malls, restaurants, and other public places are all decked up with Christmas lights and decorations. But where can you get the best Christmas stuff in Delhi? Here are the four best Christmas markets in Delhi.
Christmas markets in Delhi: Sadar Bazaar
Delhiites always head to Sadar Bazaar when they want affordable options in large quantities. So why not do the same for Christmas too? Just like during Diwali, Sadar Bazaar has a lot of shops that sell only Christmas items during this season. There is a huge variety of trees, from small ones for your table to huge ones that can take up entire lobbies. If you search for it, you might even find one with lights, or perhaps a tree you can rent!
Christmas markets in Delhi: INA Market
Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year at INA Market. The entire market opposite Dilli Haat becomes abuzz with loads of people coming here to buy their Christmas decorations. Many roadside stalls also pop up during this time of the year. Whether you need Xmas trees, cute little baubles, or tinsel garlands, you will get it all here.
Christmas markets in Delhi: Lajpat Nagar
True Delhiites know the real value of the Lajpat Nagar market. This market not only has clothes for literally every occasion, but you will find a whole range of other stuff here as well. Party supplies, wedding stuff, instruments….name it and you will get it. That is why, obviously, Lajpat Nagar is the go-to for all your Christmas needs too. Whether you need Santa hats or costumes, fairy lights, or little decorations for your Christmas tree, you will get everything here. The trick is just to find the correct street where the vendors are selling Christmas décor.
Christmas markets in Delhi: German Market
This is more of an annual event that takes place at Sunder Nursery every year. Delhi’s German Christmas Market is one of the most popular in India. The vibe here will give you a little glimpse of what a European Christmas market is like. German food, shopping, Christmas décor, and delicious Christmas desserts are available here. More than shopping, you can make a day out of it with family or friends. There is an entry ticket for this market.
P.S. Pro tip: After you visit any of the Christmas markets in Delhi, go to Wenger’s in Connaught Place for some delicious rum cake.
