The Marienplatz Christkindlmarkt closes prompting at 2:00 pm on Christmas Eve. We enjoyed the market for final snacks and shopped around a bit for a few gifts. Sadly, it was raining so we were dodging the rain a bit. We decided to forego lunch at the market and was able to to get inside the Augustiner just before they stopped serving lunch and drinks for the day.

We dropped our purchases from the market off in our hotel room and decided to go for a long walk in Englischer Garten Park. It was a nice beautiful chilly day to enjoy the park. We were delighted to see that gluhwein was being sold at one of the stalls at the Chinesischen Turm Christkindlmarkt. Of course, we had to stop to enjoy a final gluhwein!

As we were leaving the park, we noticed that one of the drink spots we love so much in the summer was open and serving gluhwein! We had just enough cash left to be able to enjoy one more. Luckily for me, this stall sells rose!

Buying our gluhwein
Three gluhwein options at this location
We were not the only ones taking advantage of this stall on Christmas Eve
So happy to be enjoying a bonus gluhwein!
This being our third time to spend Christmas Eve in Munich, we knew that our dining options would be limited. We also knew from last year, that there is a small cafe that is open that serves slices of pizza. We had pizza slices to go last year, but enjoyed pizza and drinks inside the cafe this year.
Christmas Eve dinner!
After pizza, we walked through the Marienplatz one final time to bid farewell, as we were leaving in the morning.
Merry Christmas Eve!!
We ended the night with a glass of wine and paprika chips in our hotel room and feeling grateful that we got to visit our favorite city during Christmas.
