Since 1994, the Christmas market in Zurich's main station concourse has been an integral part of the Advent season and, with over 120 market stalls and 2,000 m² of space, it is the largest indoor Christmas market in Switzerland. Year after year, it attracts millions of visitors and is now one of the most important indoor markets in Europe.
Since 2025, we have been opening a new chapter. Under the name Polarzauber, we, the THRYVE Group AG, a national creative and marketing agency, are shaping the future of this iconic market with fresh energy, new ideas and a lot of passion.
We believe in the magic of encounters.
In the power of emotions.
And in the connection between tradition and future.
That's why we combine classic market experiences with digital innovation, regional quality with urban design, a contemplative atmosphere with cultural aspirations, carefully curated and orchestrated with attention to detail.
For Zurich, our home.
For the canton that grows with us.
For Switzerland, which lives diversity.
And for all generations who want to experience this magic year after year.
A place of joy, inspiration and wonder.
A marketplace, a meeting place, a stage for memories.
