December 1st is here, and the countdown to Christmas and New Year officially begins. Edinburgh is already glowing with festive lights, cosy markets and that unmistakable winter magic. ✨🎄
Wander through Edinburgh’s Christmas Market, go ice skating at St Andrew Square and warm up with a mulled wine under the sparkle of the Big Wheel. Explore artisan stalls, catch festive performances, enjoy winter treats and soak in those picture perfect city views from the Christmas attractions.
Castle of Light also returns to Edinburgh Castle for its sixth year, brighter and bolder than ever. Born of fire and sculpted by ice, the castle transforms with the UK’s largest annual projection show, filling the night with colour, storytelling and pure enchantment. ✨
As December rolls on, the city gears up for one of the world’s greatest New Year celebrations. Edinburgh’s Hogmanay brings torchlit processions, legendary street parties, live music and the iconic midnight fireworks bursting above the Castle. It is the ultimate way to welcome the new year in true Scottish style. 🎆🏰
December in Edinburgh is overflowing with magic, culture and festive cheer. Let the celebrations begin. Book your incentive festive getaway with us and enjoy an experience like no other.
