Hi there! I’m Tamara – owner (and everything else!) of Gingerbread World European Christmas Market. From curating collections to packing boxes, this little shop is my passion, and I’m so glad you found us.
When I bought Gingerbread World 13 years ago, we sold only traditional German Lebkuchen from Nuremberg. These world-famous gingerbread cookies and pastries are still our bestsellers, but over the years we’ve grown to offer a wide range of beautiful ornaments, gifts, and treats from across Europe.
Christmas is the heart of what we do. Germany gave us so many beloved traditions – the Christmas tree, the Advent calendar, festive pastries and confections – and we’re delighted to import directly from European makers & designers so you can enjoy the magic of a true Christmas Market at home.
Every product we carry is chosen with care:
-
Made in Europe (or designed in Europe)
-
Crafted by companies known for quality and tradition
-
Premium, beautiful items with a story worth sharing
Christmas 2025 begins August 28, when our Christmas Collections open for PRE-ORDER. Reserve your favourites early to guarantee availability, with shipping in November when they arrive from Europe. Learn more about Pre-Ordering here.
A Note for Our U.S. Customers
At the moment, we’re unable to ship to the United States due to government trade policies that make cross-border orders complicated and costly. We know many of you have shopped with us for years, and we’re truly grateful. Please know we’re doing our homework and exploring options, and we hope to find a way to serve our U.S. customers again in the future.
Thank you for visiting Gingerbread World European Christmas Market. My friend Elizabeth and I are always happy to help at 1-800-309-5559 or by emailing us at info@gingerbread-world.com.
Cheers,
Tamara
