This is actually not the „one“ Christmas market in Munich - there are actually multiple ones in large cities like this. But this is their largest one, as far as I can tell. And yes, there is no snow yet. But it’s slowly turning winter, so it is already cold, but not super cold yet either. 2:30 Those are fruits (like for example strawberries) spiked on a wooden stick, covered in chocolate. 2:18 That’s Auszogne or Knieküchle (it has various names, depending on the region) - a fried dough pastry. It’s sweet and it is eaten with apricot marmalade, lingonberry jam or sauerkraut. 3:46 Gebrannte Mandeln = roasted almonds 8:39 Yes, that was very much correct. 9:21 That’s Käsespätzle - like Mac’n Cheese, but better.
Glühwein translates to "glow wine". It's a famous and traditional alcoholic drink on German christmas markets (and the whole christmas/winter season) and a must-have - so there are lots of vendors selling them. It's wine with added spices for that season, especially sugar and cinnamon (eg.cinnamon, cloves, star anise and orange peel). And it's served hot. Sometimes you can get it with added amaretto, rum or brandy. Due to it being hot and with alcohol content, it will create an illusion of being warmed up in the cold environment - hence the popularity. But it will also make you drunk surprisingly fast.
The special thing about the “propeller” on which the figures rotate is a “Christmas pyramid”! 5:05-14 They're actually the size to be placed on a table or windowsill! They are made of light wood and have a burning candle on four sides; The rising warm air drives the propeller, which in turn causes the platforms on which the figures stand to rotate! 6:21 These are “incense men” or “incense houses” in which fragrant incense slowly smolders and fills the room with a Christmas scent (similar to scented candles)! Unfortunately nothing is commented on or explained in the video, which I find a bit of a shame and would certainly answer some of your questions!
I was at Munich Christmas Markets last year, and there was snow and lots of it! The cups you pay a deposit when you get the wine and you get it back if you take the cup back. So yes you can keep it. I have quite a collection.
1:10 I guess you mean the Christmas pyramid. This is really huge. The normal ones are between 30 cm to 60 cm. Originally this comes from Erzgebirge (Erz mountains). Lighting the candles the ascending warmth moves the winged wheel.
Hello from Germany, mulled wine (Glühwein) is an alcoholic hot drink that is traditionally drunk in Central Europe, especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, during the Advent season and at Christmas. It consists of red wine, spices such as cinnamon, cloves and star anise, as well as sugar and citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons. Recipe A classic recipe for mulled wine contains: 1 liter of red wine (dry) 50 ml rum (e.g. STROH 80 Rum) 2 organic oranges, juicy, cut into slices 2 orange(s), juicy, squeezed 7 clove(s) 2 cinnamon stick(s) 1 star anise 50 g rock candy (brown) Mix the ingredients together in a saucepan and heat over a low heat, but do not boil. Then add the rum and sugar and heat again briefly. Strain out the spices and orange slices and serve the mulled wine hot immediately. Variations There are many variations of mulled wine, such as White mulled wine: is made from white wine and contains no red wine ingredients Rosé mulled wine: a blend of red and white wine Homemade mulled wine: is made by winemakers directly from the best red wine and spices Non-alcoholic mulled wine: is made from non-alcoholic red wine and spices Tradition and culture Mulled wine is an important part of Christmas traditions in Central Europe. It is often offered at Christmas markets and inns and is a popular drink at family gatherings and Christmas dinners. In Germany, it is also traditional for Christmas markets and Christmas bazaars to offer mulled wine. Dry wines with low acidity, whether red or white, are suitable for the perfect mulled wine. Here are some recommendations: Red wines: Pinot Noir Dornfelder Portugieser Trollinger Lemberger These wines have a low tannin content (yellow substance content) and are fruity, strong and semi-dry to dry. They are ideal for making mulled wine. White wines: Riesling Silvaner Müller-Thurgau Chardonnay Pinot Grigio These wines should also be delicately tart, fruity, spicy and young. They are well suited to the preparation of white mulled wine. General tips: Make sure that the wine has not been stored in an oak barrel, as this can have a negative effect on the taste. Choose a wine with low acidity so as not to overpower the taste of the mulled wine. Stronger, full-bodied wines with low acidity are better suited to mulled wine than sweet, smooth wines. By using a dry wine with low acidity, you can focus on the harmonious symbiosis between the wine flavors and the spicy additions and create a perfect mulled wine.

2:20 you think it´s crowded? This year they spread the stalls- and I think there were less than the years before - so it was more space in between to walk or stand aside and enjoy some Glühwein (mulled wine) and delicious food. Sadly it did not yet snow in Munich but it was very cold and windy so a Glühwein warms up a little bit 😜 I love Christmas in Munich with all the different markets we have in our town.
So cute, like a little Girl in the Candy Store! ❤ @DeanaandPhil @MY Travel BF are 2 English language channels that tell more about the Christmas markets and about the food! @AntoinetteEmily is a New Zealander who started a family in Germany and makes great videos about it.

you must eat a lot of bratwuerste, to lower the effects of gluehwein ... 🤣
Sounds fabulous:))
The special thing about the Christmas market is the smells. From food, drinks and sweets ! 🎄🎅👼✝
I can imagine the smell accompanied with the lights and some snow, it must feel like fairyland! ❄️✨
@@PandoraPlaysMusic It's a special atmosphere, but you have to be lucky with snow...climate change
