Events - Chaumontel Christmas Market 2025: a magical village in the heart of winter

By Mulder, 26 september 2025

Every year, Christmas markets create a unique atmosphere, where the cold of winter blends with the warmth of lights, children's laughter, and delicious smells. The Chaumontel market will be held from December 5 to 14, 2025, on Place de l'Intemporelle. The municipality has put together an ambitious program to offer residents and visitors an enchanting break. With its artisanal chalets and entertainment, this event will be more than just a market—it will be a veritable Christmas village, designed as a living setting where everyone can find something to enjoy, whether it's skating on the ice rink, marveling at the carousels, or sampling local specialties at the food stands.

One of the most eagerly awaited moments of this year's event will undoubtedly be the fireworks display on Saturday, December 6, a classic that always draws a large crowd, chilled by the cold but warmed by the beauty of the bright explosions in the winter sky. However, the big new feature for 2025 will be the drone show on Friday, December 5, a first for the region. This technological performance, which combines visual art and aerial precision, promises to make this edition a memorable one. One can imagine the surprise of children looking up at the sky where artificial stars will draw unexpected shapes, combining poetry and modernity. It is a bold move by the municipality, demonstrating a desire to offer an experience that is both traditional and resolutely forward-looking.

Beyond the magic for families, the Chaumontel Christmas Market also aims to be a springboard for retailers and artisans. Chalets are available for those who wish to exhibit their creations or products, with a deadline of October 10, 2025, for reservations. The event is an ideal opportunity to showcase your expertise in a warm and busy setting. Local businesses are also invited to form partnerships to increase their visibility, demonstrating that this market is not only a celebration but also a driver of economic and cultural dynamism for the city. This approach reminds us how much the holiday season goes beyond the simple festive aspect: it becomes a vehicle for social connection and vitality for local communities.

In addition to the chalets on Place de l'Intemporelle, other strategic locations in the city, such as the square at the entrance to the city on December 6, 7, and 8, will complement the experience, offering several entertainment hubs. This distribution not only improves traffic flow but also showcases different areas of Chaumontel. The effort is clear: the aim is to create an overall dynamic that appeals to all generations. The presentation videos posted on the official Chaumontel town website already give a glimpse of how the spaces will be showcased, with magical decorations and a friendly atmosphere that remind us of the importance of these shared moments in local life.

The Chaumontel 2025 Christmas Market is therefore set to be an unmissable event, where innovation meets tradition. By combining an ice rink, artisan chalets, light shows, and conviviality, the municipality has succeeded in creating an event that, beyond wonder, brings a community together around simple but essential values: encounter, discovery, and joy. At a time when many are seeking to rediscover the authenticity of the holiday season, Chaumontel stands out as a place where the spirit of Christmas truly resonates, between childhood memories and the promise of precious moments to come.
