The cultural agenda is buzzing with the immediate flurry of Christmas activities and plans in Seville this 2025/26. The city shines with its own light on these special dates, so we have been kind enough to bring together all these options that are open to us.
There are many proposals: markets, craft fairs, theme parks, gastronomic routes and other Christmas plans are added to the myriad of alternatives that Seville usually offers. Share these experiences and don’t stay at home.
1. Switching on the Christmas lights
The turning on of the Christmas lights emulates a kind of cataclysm whose main function lies in establishing the beginning of Christmas; thus, in Seville since the end of November a juicy seasonal programming has been underway.
Hundreds of streets will be illuminated and embellished with shapes and colors during the coming weeks from November 29. This is this year’s Christmas decoration and its most emblematic spaces.
2. Candlelight Seville Christmas edition
Music and Christmas go hand in hand. The houses and streets of towns and cities are filled with Christmas carols and on January 1 we attend (telematically) the New Year’s concert in Vienna. But you don’t have to wait so long or go so far to enjoy the magic of these Christmas melodies.
Candlelight, the candlelight concert series, has designed the best Christmas programs to delight us with the best live music and add an extra touch of magic to the holidays. This Christmas you have a few unmissable and very varied dates to recover the Christmas spirit that is so lacking in this twilight of 2025.
- Christmas Classics at the Seville Aquarium (December 20)
- Christmas Soundtracks at the Hotel Alfonso XIII (December 21)
- Christmas Classics at the Hotel Alfonso XIII (December 28)
3. Christmas Markets
Christmas markets in Seville conquer the avenues, squares and spaces that the city has prepared for the occasion. The city is decorated and receives the Christmas leisure full of novelties, with hundreds of stalls ready to help you in your decorations, Christmas tables and gifts.
At the moment the following are known:
- Feria del Belén: in the Avenida de la Constitución until December 23.
- Acento Market in Nervión Plaza.
- Creative Craft Fair, in the gardens of Paseo Cristina from December 5.
- Recoveco Market in the neighborhood of San Julian on 13 and 14, 20 and 21 December.
4. Setalandia
From November 28 until January 4, 2026 will animate the environment of Las Setas with its attractions, stalls and the presence of emblematic characters.
From the classic merry-go-round to a jumping area with inflatable mats that will delight the little ones.
5. Blue Ice at the Prado
One of the largest ice rinks in the province will once again be installed in the Prado de San Sebastián. Hielo Azul repeats for the third year in Seville, preparing for neighbors and visitors this space as part of Christmas activities.
The company, which has more than 15 years of experience, is in charge of the assembly and management of this large ice rink that opens on December 29.
6. Ice rink at Torre Sevilla
In Seville, the first ice rink opens this Friday, November 21. Torre Sevilla hosts this synthetic ice rink in Gallery 0.
20 meters long by 10 meters wide will delight the little ones and will open its doors at 18:30 on the opening day. The rest of the days, can be enjoyed until December 18 from Monday to Friday from 16:00 to 21:00 hours, weekends and holidays from 11:00 to 22:00 hours.
7. Christmas gifts in the Sevillian style
Beyond the hackneyed and impersonal options we propose some Christmas gifts with the focus on Seville. Original gifts that you can savor, share and enjoy with your loved ones.
8. Manu Jara’s panettone (to be confirmed 2025)
One of the most consumed Christmas sweets in the world that has been able to impose itself over time. And Manu Jara, as a sweet institution in Seville, has prepared for this Christmas 2024/2025 three succulent recipes.
The renowned pastry chef is able to add value with his fillings, aromas and textures. We tell you about the new flavors, sizes and prices in our article.
9. The Andalusian Christmas villages
Andalusia is a land devoted to the Christmas party. So much so that there are localities that turn all their efforts in these two weeks through festivities and gastronomy. And, if you are here this Christmas, they deserve at least a visit.
10. Restaurants with menus for Christmas lunches and dinners.
These restaurants in Seville already have closed menus for your Christmas lunches and dinners. The month of December lands in the city and with it arrive crowded stores, seasonal sweets in supermarkets, carols and, as could not miss, the Seville street flooded with Christmas lights.
11. The best “roscones de Reyes” ( by update 2025/26)
The good thing, if brief, is twice as good. For this reason, the “roscón de Reyes” is a delicacy that if in itself is good, the fact that we can only enjoy it for a couple of days in winter makes it become a fleeting delicacy.
There is something for all tastes and more and more varieties. Is there a better Christmas gift than this? To get you salivating, we are going to recommend the places where you can find the best roscón de Reyes in Seville:
12. Route through the best chocolate shops
Chocolate is our addiction, whether in the cup, in tablet or even in gel mode, and especially when it comes to Christmas time. Its smell alone makes us have exciting fantasies.
As we know that you also share our passions, we ask you to make a great sacrifice and join us on this route through the best of Seville.
13. Map with the nativity scenes of the city ( to be confirmed 2025)
Despite this fateful 2020, its limitations and restrictions, there is one of the most popular traditions of Christmas in Seville that, fortunately, we can continue to enjoy this year: visiting the nativity scenes of the city.
In this map we have created we indicate the nativity scenes of Sevillian entities that you can enjoy this atypical 2020.
14. The Three Wise Men of Seville
Seville’s Three Wise Men parade returns to roam the streets of the city in January 2025. The new venue, the Real Fábrica de Artillería, will not yet be premiered in this next edition and, therefore, will repeat the departure from the Rectorate of the US as happened this past January.
