Best Christmas market in the UK revealed with an incredible extra that's impressing visitors

A new study has revealed the 'most stunning Christmas market in the UK'

Who doesn't love the Christmas markets? Me.

Admittedly, the hot dogs are great, but that's about it.

You've got the festively freezing weather to deal with, the massive queues, not to mention the bang average hot chocolate for £8 - if you want to keep the mug.

Despite not being the biggest fan, I do somehow end up there once a year and you can't really deny that the mini pancakes are lovely.

And there's no doubt they do give off a festive vibe, as if you've stepped into a massive Instagram filter.

Also if you like fudge (I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat fudge) then there's plenty to choose from.

That being said, the best Christmas market in the UK has been decided and it's apparently due to a wow factor.

Solo Press has shared its list of 'the most popular Christmas markets based on social media scores', and here it is:

3) Manchester

There's been 1,541 recorded TikTok posts of the Manchester Christmas markets, and a total of 62,109 Instagram posts, giving it a score of 7.53.

The Manchester version is known for its iconic massive Santa and being nearby the shops if you want to get any Christmas shopping done.

These markets take place from the 8 November to 22 December.

2) Winter Wonderland London

Expect to pay a little more for London's Winter Wonderland, but it does offer a number of Insta-worthy food stalls, skating and shopping options.

A close second with 3,409 TikTok posts, along with 43,237 on Instagram, receiving a score of 8.60.

The festivities in Hyde Park are open from 21 November to 5 January.

1) Edinburgh

But the number one choice was the Edinburgh Christmas markets, with less TikTok posts (2,738) than London, but more Instagram posts (55,304), coming in with a total score of 8.62.

But what makes it so popular is quite simply the setting.

You've got the backdrop of the castle, the ferris wheel, along with the festive ice rink.

Foodies are also previewed to 'traditional Scottish food stalls' at Princes Street Gardens, with Solo Press calling it 'a rich cultural experience'.

The Edinburgh Christmas market runs from 15 November to 4 January, which could be a good option to help you deal with the January blues.

But if you fancy heading abroad, as voted by worldwide travellers via European Best Destinations, Gdańsk's Christmas Market in Poland has been crowned as the European Best Christmas Market 2024-2025.

Expedia is also running a promotion which says you can book a one-way ticket for just £34.

Skyscanner is offering return tickets for dates in early December at £45 from London.
