Product Description

This beautifully detailed advent calendar depicts a cozy snow covered scene of one of the oldest Christmas Market's in Germany know as the Striezelmarkt in Dresden.  This Christmas market dates back to 1434 and it's unique name is derived from the middle high German "Struzel" or "Striezel", which today is called the Dresden Stollen.  The traditions of this German Christmas market are well preserved and treats such as the infamous Dresdner Stollen and the Dresdner Pflaumentoffel can be found here.
