Budapest’s largest pop-up Christmas market with Hungarian handicrafts

The Gift Terminal fair will feature outstanding creators, contemporary designers and artisanal producers from the Hungarian design world, with more than 150 participants awaiting visitors this year. The range, which expands year after year, features hundreds of unique objects, home accessories, fashion and gastronomic products, all in an inspiring environment, on nearly 1,000 square meters. The initiator of the initiative, Hybridart, has had the determined goal since 2017 to make the works of Hungarian design representatives accessible to a wide audience and for customers to find special, quality gifts during the Christmas period. In the creative space of the Gift Terminal, during the Advent weekends, visitors will again be invited to exciting workshops, including making a molino bag, unique dolls, and trying out linocut and screen printing.

Meanwhile, the Allee Christmas Fair offers handmade products from Hungarian creators on the ground floor of the shopping center. Advent decorations made of natural materials, handcrafted jewelry, characterful bags, and special delicacies from Hungarian workshops await visitors at the stands. The fair places special emphasis on quality, supporting Hungarian creators, and a sustainable festive approach. Participating brands include workshops such as Anett Csodavilága’s natural decorations, Blaur Studio’s unique patterned bags, Bognár Kesztyű’s traditional leather gloves, Bors Design’s jewelry, and Olivia Natural’s handmade cosmetics.

During the holiday season, until December 24, a fairy-tale train, the Christmas Express, awaits children in the atrium of the shopping center, and visitors can have uniquely labeled ball decorations made in the Decoration Workshop. The weekend’s Advent programs include Santa Claus, choir performances, live storytelling, an interactive field table, a festive photo booth, and musical performances to create a cozy, Christmas atmosphere. The proceeds from the Christmas Express train tickets and purchases at the Christmas Decoration Workshop will be used entirely to organize an experience day for children living in the orphanage, made possible by the Kuckó Voluntary Program Foundation.
