Um, I'm a bit behind on this, but better late than never...
As is common with many cities, Kaiserslautern is hosting a Christmas market. It's primarily held around the Stitftsplatz, Stiftskirche, and Schillerplatz. Located in the center of town and in the middle of the pedestrian zone, it's a convenient and cozy place to stop for some Christmas spirit (or
spirits like Glühwein - he he).

There is also an arts and crafts market in the Fructhalle, near Schillerplatz. Called the Kulturmarkt vor Weihnachten, the market is continuing until 21 December and is a lovely place to shop for handmade jewelry, soaps, textiles, and more. I enjoyed my trip there this year and here's a
blog entry from last year about it.
The Fructhalle is located right across from the tourists' information
office downtown. The market is open from 24 November until 21 December
and is open daily from 12 p.m. - 7 p.m. There is no admission charge.
