Christmas in Kosta
More than a traditional Christmas market!
When darkness falls over Kosta, millions of Christmas lights in trees and buildings light up the winter darkness. Welcome in through the large market gates and experience a magical Christmas market filled with lights, snow, Christmas trees and well-stocked market stalls. The aroma of mulled wine, gingerbread and burnt almonds spreads from the stalls. Here you will find handicrafts of the best quality, made by local craftsmen in iron, wood and textiles. Everything from hand-cast candles to forged candlesticks, freshly baked luss buns to pickled herring, warming sheepskin and delicious Christmas cheeses. In short, everything you want and need for Christmas!
Visit Santa's world, wander through the snow-covered forest and hear the wind rustle in the fir trees. On the other side of the forest, you meet Santa on his throne and all his goblins in the workshop. Leave your wish list in Santa's magical wish machine and listen to Santa's magical Christmas tales.
Inside Kosta Outlet you will find a Christmas experience beyond the ordinary, a magical Christmas world with a starry sky of sparkling Christmas lights and lots of Christmas decorations. The shops are filled with attractive offers and you can easily find Christmas presents for loved ones.
