NOT all Christmas markets are made the same – and one in the UK that might beat the rest is the on the grounds of a palace.
Hampton Court Palace has revealed what to expect from their festive market this year, which takes over the courtyard.
Inside will be more than 100 stalls selling everything festive – think gifts and christmas decorations to food and drink.
Live music will be performed throughout the day in the central bandstand, with many of the Christmas classics.
It only takes place over two weekends – December 5-7 and December 12-14 – so you need to be quick to get in.
You also need to book tickets, but they include access to the palace itself, as well as the gardens and the Hampton Court maze.

Hampton Court Palace dates back to 1514, although has has been remodelled over the years (including designs inspired by Versailles).
It eventually became one of the homes of Henry VIII, which he visited with a number of his wives.
Also inside is the UK’s oldest surviving hedge maze, commissioned in 1700.
Covering a third of an acre, it takes around 20 minutes to get to the middle.
Kids will also love The Magic Garden, a huge wooden play structure with climbing frames, slides and towers.
And film buffs will recognise the palace from a number of massive films, including Sherlock Holmes, Pirate’s of the Caribbean, Mamma Mia and Bridgerton.
Previous tourists have said the palace is a better attraction than some in London.
One wrote: “Most tourists only end up circling around Buckingham Palace or get to see the Kensington Palace at most which are nothing compared to Hampton Court combined.
“If you want the less touristy and more authentic royal experience, take a boat down the river from any central London pier that will drop you right outside the Palace gates. Exactly in a same manner how Royals used to travel.”
Another said: “Hampton Court Palace is, quite possibly, one of my most favourite places ever.
“A wonderful place to visit and escape the 21st century for a few hours.”
