Christmas Markets in Mallorca 2025: A Winter Guide for Visitors & Home Buyers
Mallorca is best known for its beaches and summer lifestyle, but December reveals a very different side of the island and thanks to the island’s mild Mediterranean climate, outdoor Christmas markets in Mallorca are a pleasure to visit. During the festive season, Mallorca’s towns and marinas are filled with twinkling lights, traditional Spanish Christmas markets, and family-friendly winter events.
All this makes winter an increasingly popular time for both holidaymakers and property buyers to explore the island.
In Spain, the Christmas season extends into January, with the Feast of the Three Kings on January 6 marking the main gift-giving day. This means festive activities last well beyond December, offering a long and lively winter season.
