winter market

Cold-weather outdoor fair

A winter market is a seasonal outdoor market operating during cold months, typically featuring holiday goods, crafts, and warm food and drink.

European Christmas markets are the classic example, with mulled wine, handmade ornaments, and wooden stalls: We wandered through the winter market looking for gifts.

The term also applies to farmers' markets that continue through winter with cold-weather produce.
