nothingnesspast asked: Does it snow in all parts of Germany at Christmastime ? Because I'm going to be in Münster (near Düsseldorf) at that time of year and I really hope it snows. :)
Also, are there Christmas markets all across Germany ? If so, what can you buy there ? Thanks. :)

Theoretically it snows in the entire country. But very often (especially since a couple of years) the snow comes later than Christmas. This past year for example, we had snow throughout January-March. There was also some snow in December but it melted during the Christmas days. Usually the North gets less snow than the South because of how close it is to the North Sea.

Christmas markets are all over Germany. One of the most famous one is “Der Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt” in Nuremberg, Bavaria. But other cities have nice ones, too. You can mostly buy delicious food, mulled wine and candy as well as christmas ornaments etc.
