What a great start to the first weekend of Advent in Zell (Mosel)! The combination of the Advent market and fairy tale parade was a resounding success again this year - thanks in large part to the many active participants and visitors!

Our Advent market may have been small, but it was full of heart: lovingly handmade products, atmospheric lights, mulled wine, waffles, sausages – exactly the right mix to instantly create that Advent feeling. And when Georg Wenker provided Christmas music, the atmosphere was simply perfect.

The moment when Santa Claus arrived at the town hall at 4 p.m. was another highlight. Children's eyes were shining everywhere – a real highlight!

And then the grand finale: the fairy tale parade!

As darkness fell, the market square and streets filled up – and the fairytale-like illuminated costumes transformed the old town into a sparkling fantasy world. It was precisely this combination of a cozy Advent market and an enchanting fairytale parade that made the first Advent weekend of 2025 in Zell so magical – and you could feel it.

A huge thank you to everyone who was there and made this special experience possible! We hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did. And maybe we can welcome even more people in 2026 – please spread the word!

We wish everyone a wonderful Advent and Christmas season!
