With lockdown measures eased, people can start looking forward to an exciting Christmas, one which *hopefully* will be very different from last year.

After the shambles that was Christmas 2020, everyone is looking forward to another shot at the festive season this year.

And with millions of Brits vaccinated and lockdown restrictions eased completely in most areas, plans for this winter are in full swing, including Christmas markets.

With Bath, Birmingham, London and Manchester all confirming their festive events will be returning for winter 2021, people have started planning weekends away in order to stock up on the Christmas gifts.

Most recently, we found out that Bristol's famous Christmas market will be returning this year, with Sven Schmidt, Director of German Events which organises the market, announcing: "We are very excited to be returning to Bristol this year.

"It was heartbreaking to have to cancel 2020's event, but we always put the safety of our visitors first.

"We are very happy to be able to welcome visitors back to the market once more and hope they enjoy the addition of our snow domes which are a wonderful way to enjoy a seasonal drink with friends and family.

"The whole team can't wait to get started!"
