In Australia they remain something of a rarity.
You have to be prepared to swap a warming cup of mulled wine for a glass of ice-cold rosé and change the vibe a little.
One Christmas night market that has created a niche for itself is the Le Jolly Market, which will return to Sydney from December 13-22.
It will be taking over Belmore Park next to Central Station and Haymarket to offer visitors a holiday experience complete with wooden huts, artisanal products, gourmet food, fine wines, and live music under the trees and fairy lights.
And the good news is that entry is free.
Over 35 stalls will showcase a selection of hand-made, locally-sourced products with a focus on items priced under $20.
"This year, we’re focused on showcasing the craftsmanship and affordability of local businesses," says event director Vincent Hernandez.
"As event organisers, we see it as our mission to support small artisans and makers who stand out for their quality and creativity, while ensuring a range of price points so that everyone can take home something memorable.”
Food offerings will include lobster rolls, fresh Sydney rock oysters, gingerbread baked on-site, grilled scallops, melty cheese dishes and pasta served in a cheese wheel.
There will be five wine bars and over 40 specialty food vendors.
Le Jolly Market will be open from 5pm to 10:30pm each evening.
