Visiting the BEST Christmas Market of Zurich Switzerland

Switzerland is the true winter wonderland and we are spending a few days in this amazing European country to soak in the Christmas spirit before traveling home to see our family.
Today, we are visiting the best Christmas markets of Zurich from the largest indoor Christmas market in Europe to the largest in Switzerland.
But first, let's check something off of Tracey's bucket list by visiting the Lindt Chocolate factory or Lindt Home of Chocolate. It was truly everything she expected and more!
otherwise, Zurich in the winter is simply magical. The markets everywhere, the heart warming food and of course the gluhwein, there is no other city like it.
In case you are looking for a great and not too expensive hotel to stay in Zurich, we suggest Acasa Suites. Nicely located by the train station, friendly staff and delicious breakfast buffet.

In the Building watching from Baltimore MD 😎

[@DaveMani]

Yeah! You're the best. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@janechadwick2635]

You need to drink gluhwein at the top of the mountain on a sunny morning, just before you take your first ski run down. Nothing better.

[@DaveMani]

Sounds like the dream! :P

[@corylions8299]

Go Tracey! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I jokingly tell people I’m going to die with chocolate in one hand and coffee in the other 😝 Merry Christmas to you and your families 🎄✌🏻🍫

[@DaveMani]

Hahaha you guys are for sure on the same team? 🤣🤣🤣

[@lonelion8098]

OMG! epic dream destination the scenery in Switzerland is heaven on earth cant wait to see the rest of the vlogs

Lindt should come out with a chocolate scented perfume, that would be my signature scent 😀

[@DaveMani]

Ooooooh! Why not :p

[@kylephillips5757]

I LOVE Zurich! can’t wait to watch this. i’ve never been during christmas time. thank you for this!!

[@DaveMani]

Hope you enjoy it! :)

[@Sleepwalker1963]

I've not visited the Lindt factory, but I have been to the Lindt shop at Zurich airport departures,. and that was a lot of temptation. 😀

[@DaveMani]

Haha I can see that :p

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

Lindt is the cheap, industrial stuff though. There's several smaller, artisanal high end chocolates in Switzerland. Läderach. Sprüngli (although they get the raw material from Lindt). There's others. They're on a whole different level in terms of quality. Sprüngli is available at the airport too.

[@gertywilson1514]

Another fab video…..Lindt choc - salted caramel is the best, mulled wine is good and keeps the cold away..Xmas markets are the best you do get some unique foods and gifts aswell thanks for sharing 💕

[@DaveMani]

Cheers to salted caramel for sure!!! Sooo good.

Haha thanks but I actually bought mine in India believe it or not and Tracey's is from a store in Canada called Garage.

[@blochspin]

You went to Switzerland because Tracie wanted to go to Lindt :) A great compromise that combines the German Christmas market experience with the French touch and my recommendation would be Strasbourg

[@DaveMani]

You got that right! :D

[@lijojake]

Merry Christmas! . Those dumplings are from Nepal , North east India called Momos. Quite popular there

[@DaveMani]

They were amazing!!

[@user-wn3fx3mf9b]

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

Not a single healthy thing was consumed that day... 😅 Raclette is clearly superior to Fondue however, that much is certain. Glad you liked our precious little (expensive) country...

[@DaveMani]

Haha you got that right and I'm with you about the raclette cheese! ❤️👍🏼

[@devanshpurohit2025]

I did not knew Tracey is a big fan of chocolates. Great vlog, enjoy your trip in Switzerland

Great video as always BUT Switzerland is not the home of chocolate they don't even grow cocoa in that country... Ghana is the home of chocolate and all their cocoa is from Ghana!

[@violetaparadnika460]

I was thinking about that too, I was waiting for them to mention something about where it actually comes from.

[@DaveMani]

Its just the name of the place. Also even tho they don't grow it, they are one of the major producer still.

[@david.qimani]

@@DaveMani They ship it from Ghana, add milk and sugar(value addition) brand it ,then sell it.They are the biggest when it comes to branding chocolate 😊 but don't produce anything. love your content though..Am a fan🙏🙏

[@Slithermotion]

@@david.qimaniwerent the swiss the ones who invented milk chocolate? Cocoa isn‘t even a native plant in ghana but originated from mexico. Ghana and ivory coast are major exporters of cocoa but have almost no history in chocolatery.

[@david.qimani]

@@Slithermotion the cocoa plant is originally from Ecuador actually but Switzerland sources their cocoa predominantly from Africa and other south American countries

[@sarahkhan2310]

From Yule Christmastide To Christmas Christmas or Christmas Day in Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass" Greeting this is to mean that you have accepted that you have sinned and to be forgiven by his sacrifice and that he died for humanity or actually Satan according to the twisted messages by Saul or Paul to the Romans. Y’Shua Bar Josef ( Yusuf, Joseph ) or Jesus did not say that. It is an invention to spread to the Gentiles ( people other than the Jews ? A derogatory term for other already known race like the Arabs, Indian, Persian, Malay, Chinese ?). And the Roman Empire capitalized it to control its empire with the God-King style of the Pope in Roman Catholic Church. Christmas is a compound word joining Christ and Mass. Christ is a conferred title Greek Khrīstos (Χριστός), a translation of Hebrew Māšîaḥ (מָשִׁיחַ), "Messiah", meaning "anointed" and Mass from the Latin word missa form the Jewish story of passover of the Jewish communion to remember their freedom from slavery in Egypt. Yule or Yuletide is a festival observed by the historical Germanic peoples. Scholars have connected the celebration to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht. It later underwent Christianized reformulation resulting in the term Christmastide Winter Solstice. The Pagan celebration of Winter Solstice (also known as Yule) is one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world. Ancient people were hunters and spent most of their time outdoors The custom of burning the Yule Log goes back to, and before, medieval times. It was originally a Nordic tradition. Yule is the name of the old Winter Solstice festivals in Scandinavia and other parts of northern Europe, such as Germany. Italian Bishop Gives Children Harsh News: There Is No Santa Claus You've been lied to, children heard from a bishop, the latest Catholic clergyman to try to take down Santa Claus and consumerism. Many Italians were not pleased. christmas is a roman catholic church manipulation of winter solstice when the Sun rises not the son after standing still for 3 days on december 21st/22nd and rises on the 25th. christmas is another roman catholic church manipulation of Nordic Yule and ancient roman festival Saturnalia in feasting drinking wild sex parties. It is not a cultural thing it is about religion invented by the roman catholic church. The same for easter another manipulation form Ishtar an ancient Mesopotamian goddess of fertility, and sex Like flies flocked to the fire so the brainwashed flocked to the dazzling lights. Santa Klaus is an invention by the sinful roman catholic church of sinner into saint or santa and worshiping pine trees in the burning logs of extreme Nordic winter cold. A bodhi tree has more significance than a pine tree. Feel the tears of native people across all colonized land the genocides thievery of cultural heritage and land by colonisers and the pedophile vatican city doctrine of discovery. Please don’t spread mythologies twisted stories flying reindeers ignorance as truth. Churches are empty across the western world west so is the declining numbers of brainwashed south Koreans and business of religion evangelicals. Four main groups of people don't celebrate christ masse 1 Those professing the Torah 2 Those professing Islam 3 Millions of Christians do not observe Christmas. Among them are Quakers, Jehovah's Witnesses, and members of the Churches of Christ 4 Those choosing path of wisdom and enlightenment Do you know what you are greetings or celebrating ?
