Vienna Christmas Cookie Baking and Mulled Wine Workshop

Celebrate Christmas in Vienna with a hands-on baking workshop in a welcoming event atelier near the city centre. In a small group, make four festive cookie varieties from scratch and discover Austrian Advent traditions. Begin with an introduction to the recipes and ingredients, then put on your apron and prepare the doughs. With step-by-step guidance, shape Vanillekipferl, assemble jam-filled Linzer Augen, make Zimtsterne, and prepare gingerbread crinkle cookies with their snowy, crackled finish. Take part in mixing, rolling, shaping, and decorating, learning the techniques for each variety. No baking experience is needed, and there’s time to ask questions as you work. While the cookies bake, prepare homemade Glühwein and non-alcoholic Christmas punch together. Enjoy your drinks and freshly baked treats while hearing about Austrian Christmas traditions and Vienna’s Christkindlmärkte. Your host will share local recommendations for Christmas markets and places to explore during Advent. Finish by packing your handmade cookies into a Christmas cookie box to take home. You’ll also receive recipes for all four varieties to recreate the festive flavours in your own kitchen.
