‘Tis the season for pine-scented headaches, spirit-trampling crowds, and pick-pocketing.

If Prague’s traditional Christmas markets are not your cup of mulled wine, these smaller-scale events promise plenty of shopping and festive food and drink minus the tourist hordes (if you’re ok with those, see here).

From a market that caters to celiacs or a Christmas celebration of the vegetarian lifestyle — plus plenty of design pop-ups — there’s something here for everyone:
