15 October 2021, 09:36
Christmas Markets are returning to UK cities this festive period, and we couldn't be more excited.
With Autumn very much in full swing, people are looking forward to the prospect of celebrating Christmas properly this year.
Due to the pandemic, Christmas looked very different in 2020 for millions of families who couldn't see their loved ones, or even celebrate in their usual way.
However, thanks to the successful vaccine programme, there is plenty of hope Christmas will be back and better than ever for 2021.
With this, comes the return of Christmas Markets up and down the UK, all which were cancelled due to lockdown last year.
