The Frankfurt Christmas Market (German: Frankfurter Weihnachtsmarkt^[1]) is one of the oldest Christmas markets (also known as "Weihnachtsmärkte") in Germany^[2] with origins that date back to 1393.^[3] It is an annual outdoor Christmas market held in central Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany.^[4] The market is open during the period of Advent (from late November and continues until just before Christmas on 22 December). It is visited by approximately three million visitors each year.

The market occupies a large area of the old town in central Frankfurt, including Friedrich-Stoltze-Platz, Hauptwache (to the north), Mainkai, Paulsplatz, and Römerberg (to the south).^[1]
