re: Frankfurt Christmas Market

Haven't been to the one in Frankfurt, but the Christmas markets in general are interesting/fun. Very convivial atmosphere, with a happy vibe. Lots of drinking, eating, some light shopping (handicrafts, simple traditional gifts, sweets, etc), and people milling around, enjoying themselves. I did a spur of the moment Christkindlmarkt trip to Munich & Salzburg a couple years ago, and it was magical...snow, Christmas carols, Krampus run, singing, huge decorated trees, lots of lights at night....and mulled wine everywhere.
