This Christmas market in Berlin will take place on 2 December and 3 December 2023 in Berlin.
Holy shit, Christmas is just around the corner! If you are looking for an unconventional Christmas market experience in the capital as an alternative to the usual, traditional Christmas markets, then Holy Shit Shopping is a must-visit!
On 2 December 2023, the time has come: Holy Shit Shopping transforms ARENA BERLIN into a creative urban department store. This Christmas market, which apart from mulled wine has little to do with classic Christmas markets, is one of the highlights in the lead up to Christmas in the capital. And with a brand new motto: With the slogan Ciao Lametta! Hello Future! the organisers invite design fans to promote innovative ideas in the creative industries, support sustainable approaches and honour social commitment.
The "Mother of all designer Christmas markets" has been taking place since 2004. It all started with a small designer market in the legendary Café Moskau. Today, pre-Christmas Berlin would be unimaginable without Holy Shit Shopping. More than 15,000 people visit the pop-up department store every year which takes place over 6,500 square metres at ARENA BERLIN. As a location, the former Allgemeine Omnibus AG bus depot perfectly suits the organisers’ concept, where contemporary design is combined with old industrial architecture.
Selected international designers and artists offer their very creative and high-quality lifestyle products at Holy Shit Shopping over two days. If you are looking for those very special Christmas gifts, then come and live it up here. Fashion, jewellery, furniture, art, literature, photography: here you are sure to find something for you and your loved ones!
While you’re here, you can enjoy seasonal street food, mulled wine, beer and schnapps in lounges and bars, and soak up the ambience of contemporary design and the industrial building that is ARENA BERLIN alongside the beats of Berlin’s DJs.
Book your ticket in advance conveniently online. Combine your shopping trip with a stroll along the Spree: the Molecule Man, the Oberbaum Bridge as well as the East Side Gallery are not far from ARENA BERLIN, while Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain have a number of shops and restaurants worth discovering.
The Christmas market is located at ARENA BERLIN, between Kreuzberg and Treptow on the Spree river. If you’re coming by car: Pay and display parking at the Park Center Treptow. We recommend travelling by public transport.
