Christmas spirit in Malmö 2026
When darkness falls early, Malmö lights up. Here we've gathered everything that brings Christmas spirit to town – from mulled wine on the square to choirs in the church.
First come the Christmas concerts and shows in date order. Further down you'll find the Christmas markets and the rinks where you can skate on a winter evening.
We'll add more as new events are announced. Check the organiser's own page before you go.
