Christmas Dinner In Birmingham

If you're searching for festive dinners to get stuck into, check out these Christmas restaurants in Birmingham. Decked out with decor and tinsel, these watering holes and eateries are whipping up roasted turkey, pigs 'n' blankets and the likes.

The Bullring's Après Ski Bar

Nothing says Christmas quite like festive drinks and a chalet getaway. Located on the spacious Bullring balcony, Après Ski Bar is your cosy retreat in the heart of Birmingham. Whether you're winding down after a shopping spree or catching up with friends, this pop-up wonderland is the perfect seasonal escape.

Step into a scene of twinkling fairy lights, wooden chalets, and Christmas trees, creating a dreamy alpine atmosphere that's ideal for snapping holiday photos. Enjoy everything from mulled wine and winter cocktails to rich hot chocolate and steins of German beer, complemented by delicious chalet-style eats. 

Frankfurt Christmas Market

One of the best things to do in Birmingham this Christmas 2025 is the Frankfurt Christmas Market, returning to Birmingham's Victoria Square and New Street. This seasonal spectacle promises a holiday vibe like no other, with sparkling lights, an Instagram-worthy carousel, a massive Christmas tree, and even a towering Santa.

Famed as the largest German Christmas market outside Germany and Austria, it's a must-visit for its lively atmosphere. Sip on mulled wine or creamy hot chocolate while enjoying live music from local and international acts. Hungry? Dive into bratwursts, pretzels, schnitzels, and roasted almonds before finishing with a sweet crêpe.
