Christmas at Terschelling

The Christmas season on Terschelling is full of festive activities.
From unique excursions to winter walks, Christmas markets, and cozy musical evenings. Horse-drawn carriage rides and scenic walks, paired with pea soup, apple fritters, and mulled wine, offer the perfect mix of holiday cheer and island charm. On Boxing Day, join the traditional Christmas walk to burn off those festive calories.

On December 27, the year 2025 is celebrated at the Midwinter Market in Midsland. With live music, tasty snacks and drinks, and festive stalls, it’s the perfect way to bid farewell to the year. On New Year’s Eve, the harbor and marina in West-Terschelling are beautifully lit with glowing ships, creating a magical atmosphere for an evening stroll.

Kick off 2026 with a fresh start by braving the icy waters of the North Sea during the New Year’s Dive in Midsland on January 1. If relaxation is more your style, the island offers plenty of wellness options to help you unwind and recharge for the new year.

For those looking to stay active, you can visit the swimming pool, go to the gym or book a one of the yoga activitities on the island.
