“There were a lot of stalls selling Glühwein, and we kept searching for the one that had the best-looking mug. These mulled wines are served in special Christmas mugs, and every city or town has its own theme. You usually pay a small deposit for the mug, and if you return it, you get your money back. Or you can just keep it as a souvenir. And I was 100% planning to keep mine as a souvenir. So we were hunting for a stall that had the best-looking mug, and after roaming around for a bit, we finally found a Glühwein stall with really pretty cups. Obviously, we decided to get it there. The Glühwein cost €5, and the deposit for the cup was €3. The Glühwein itself was actually so yummy, I absolutely loved it. And the best part? It was hot. When you’re walking around a cold Christmas market, you need something warm to hold and sip, and this definitely did the trick for me.”
