Holy Shit Shopping

On 30 November 2024, the time has come: Holy Shit Shopping will transform the new CANK location in Berlin into an urban creative department stores'. 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.

Pre-Christmas pop-up department stores' for 20 years

The "mother of all designer Christmas markets" has been taking place since 2004 and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. It all started with a small design market in the legendary Café Moskau, but today it is impossible to imagine pre-Christmas Berlin without Holy Shit Shopping. More than 15,000 people now visit the pop-up department stores' every year. The former department stores' in the heart of Berlin-Neukölln is probably one of the most exciting off-locations in the city at the moment. Over 10,000 square metres on 5 floors. Design and the striking Brutalist architecture are combined while shopping here!

Hand-picked designers and artists

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!

Street food to Berlin beats
