Family Winter Activities in the Netherlands: Markets, Lights, and Traditions

The Dutch festive season is a whirlwind of light festivals, Christmas markets, and cozy museum outings—but knowing where to go can be overwhelming for international parents. In this episode, Eva is joined by Samira from AmsterdamKids to talk through the best ways to make the most of winter in the Netherlands. While the specific dates from this broadcast have passed, the strategies for finding the best "kid-proof" holiday magic remain the same.

We take a warm, honest, and direct look at the joys (and the logistics) of managing the December calendar. From choosing the right winter events to finding those hidden gems that make the season special, this conversation is a celebration of Dutch winter traditions. For the most up-to-date, current holiday listings and weekend inspiration, we highly recommend heading over to the AmsterdamKids website and following their social channels. They are the ultimate "village" resource for keeping your family calendar full all year round.
