Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks have unwrapped two new Christmas market destinations for winter 2026-27 – Strasbourg and Colmar.
The two new destinations are now on sale from Edinburgh, Manchester and Stansted airports, with flights and city breaks available from late November until the week before Christmas.
For Colmar, customers will fly into Strasbourg and then make their own way via train to the historic town in Alsace, France.
The sister brands said the additions were in response to “continued demand” from customers.
The expansion means that Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks will operate their biggest ever Christmas markets programme next winter, with 15 destinations on sale from across 13 of their UK airport bases.
