European Christmas Markets delighted programmers and viewers alike in 2010, and we are pleased to announce that NETA is re-releasing this popular holiday special for your 2011 holiday season.
European Christmas Markets is a true Christmas treat that will fill your senses with the warmth and fun of the holiday season, your heart with special Kingston Trio folk music renditions of Christmas carols, and your mind with geography and history lessons to boot!
European Christmas Markets visits Bernkastel-Kues, where we see the town hall decorated as an advent calendar, and learn of the traditional beverage of the markets, the Gluhwein. Next stop is the bustling Christmas market in Nuremberg, Germany, where we can almost smell the roasting sausages and taste athe gingerbread sold in stalls. In Rothenburg we learn of the wooden Christmas decorations from the son of the founder of the Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas store and wander along the ramparts of the the fairy tale village. Then we have a quick stop in the wine town of Rudesheim. A unique visit is made to the ancient town of Michelstadt and its Christmas market. And then into France, to see how the French celebrate the season in Strasbourg. We conclude our travels in Switzerland, with the sights and sounds of the holidays in Basel and and the alpine city of Lucerne.
There is a 40-minute Pledge version with Pledge-gifts available. If you are interested in Pledging European Christmas Markets, please contact the producer, Barbara Cray, at craylaw@comcast.net.
The narrator, Hans Timmer, adds the perfect voice to the program with his lilting brogue.
