Waffles, wreaths, and winter magic at the German market

With the aroma of waffles and pretzels in the air, the 26th German Christmas Market ushered in a weekend of yuletide cheer as the PSOI lawns transformed into a festive Christmas hub. Delhiites thronged the venue, dressed in their festive best. With Jingle Bell Rock in your ears, candy canes and Santa faces all around, is there anything more comforting?

Shoppers browsed everything from linens and stockings to festive wreaths, Christmas décor, and trees.

From Christmas-themed scented candles and knitted charms to cutesy Polar Express engines, the market offered a delightful array of festive décor.

A clown performer twirled flowing pastel ribbons, delighting festivalgoers with playful energy and cheerful theatrics.

A classic pecan pie, dark and milk chocolate with nuts in the shape of an Xmas tree, and warm German waffles with maple syrup were the crowd favourites (clockwise).
