Find unique Christmas gifts

Looking for a gift with a story of its own? At Vanhan Joulutori Christmas Market in Helsinki, you’ll find unique, mostly handmade products and Finnish Design sold directly by the people who make them.

Discover beautiful ceramics, jewellery, warm wool socks and felt slippers, cheerful pouches, toys, books and much more. Every product is a little different – and that is exactly what makes it special.

Here, you can find the real Christmas Spirit.

Meet the makers

At Vanhan Joulutori Christmas Market, shopping is also about meeting people. The makers themselves are there to tell you about their work, their products and the stories behind them.

Ask where an idea came from, how a product was made or what inspired its creation. At the same time, you can get a glimpse into the world of handmade products and meet the people who create them.

When you buy directly from the maker, you get more than a gift – you also take home a piece of its story.

Experience the atmosphere of The Old Student House

A beautiful historic building, a warm Christmas atmosphere and decades of history make Vanhan Joulutori Christmas Market truly unique. This is where traditional Christmas market culture meets crafts, Finnish design and today’s entrepreneurs.

Take your time exploring the market, meet familiar vendors and discover new favourites. When you need a little break, the café is open and invites you to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere.

At Vanhan Joulutori Christmas Market, Christmas feels a little different – warm, relaxed and familiar.
