Episode Synopsis

Jad and Mimi walk through the world’s Christmas markets without leaving their chairs, using Gazetta’s “Markets, Mugs and Memory” as a map. From Bolzano’s Wishing Tree and Laives’ small town warmth to Strasbourg’s theatre, Vienna’s choreography, Cologne’s cathedral squares and the remix energy of Tokyo and New York, they ask what these winter villages are really saying about community. It is less about fairy lights and more about courage on branches, chipped mugs, and the small rituals that make cold cities feel human for a few weeks. A conversation for anyone who loves markets, and anyone who quietly watches people more than the stalls.
