Jamie and I spent three Christmas seasons in Brussels, Belgium. When Jacob was three, we returned to Europe and spent another three Christmas seasons in Stuttgart, Germany.
In both locations, outdoor Christmas markets were a highlight. Stalls were set up in the city centers where merchants could display their wares, lights were strung everywhere, traditional music played, ice skating rinks were centralized among the stalls, and so many delicious treats were ready to consume!
One of the most popular items on their menus was gluhwein. Gluhwein is a winter holiday drink served warm. Standing in the winter nighttime air with a cup of gluhwein, we stayed cozy warm. The mulled spices have a distinct aroma, so when we drink some here in the U.S., it takes us back to those fond memories. So glad we held on to some of our cups from those markets!
Thank you, Aldi, for stocking your shelves for us!
