Wandering around Christmas markets and indulging in festive treats by log fires are some of the best ways to ring in the festive period.
This is why Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks are giving Britons the opportunity to jet off to Europe’s top festive markets with a newly expanded programme next winter.
The leisure airline and operator have shared the details of their biggest Christmas Markets programme to date.
The significantly expanded programme will feature 50 Christmas Market routes, eight of which are brand new.
The winter programme will include flights to Vienna

The initiative will allow customers and independent travel agents to book festive flights and trips for winter 25/26 from all UK airports for the very first time.
The move comes off the back of strong demand for Christmas Market getaways across Europe.
For the first time, Christmas market routes will depart from Bournemouth Airport since it became Jet2.com's UK airport base.
Other departure points cover 12 UK airport bases, including:
- Belfast International
- Bournemouth
- Birmingham
- Bristol
- Edinburgh
- East Midlands
- Glasgow
- Leeds Bradford
- Liverpool John Lennon
- London Stansted
- Manchester
- Newcastle International Airports
The eight new destinations on sale for winter 25/26 with Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks will include:
- Berlin
- Budapest
- Cologne
- Copenhagen
- Gdansk
- Krakow
- Prague
- Vienna
The programme will see more than 250,000 seats put up for sale, representing a capacity increase of more than 16 per cent for the winter 24/25 period.
CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays Steve Heapy said: “The demand we are seeing for our enormously popular Christmas Markets programme continues to increase, which is why we have responded with our biggest choice ever for winter 25/26.
