The Christmas Market Atlas
A cozy winter map of 378 Christmas markets in 38 countries, from Iceland to Türkiye, with checked 2026 dates, where you can rate them, keep notes, plan lists, and collect passport stamps.
Storm track
Time runs across. Height is maximum sustained wind, read from each status's METAR. The red ring marks the current position, and the cone ahead of it assumes conditions persist.

Advisory 7 CLR Clear
Shipped. The map gained names, colours and capitals for all of Europe, and the atlas now lives on the web alone. In use for the season, which runs to February 2027; the markets without confirmed dates get a second check in late November.

Advisory 6 DZ Drizzle
Invite friends arrived: a market, a list or a weekend becomes a real Stormy Fans invitation, and the way back shows its answers on the market. Everything a signed-in visitor's page remembers now follows them to their other devices.

Fifty-four more markets joined: 49 small local markets near Ramstein, and five from the market guide that the first build had missed.

Advisory 4 TSTM Thunderstorm
The burst carried on that morning. Santa's Nice List opened, an opt-in seasonal leaderboard, and the printed passport became a fold-and-cut pocket booklet. Each market got its own postcard picture for link previews, along with rarity charms, explorer mugs and Stormy's pick of the day, and Santa's House at Rochers-de-Naye joined the map.

Advisory 3 TSTM Thunderstorm
Another burst. The atlas gained a weekend planner, shared lists, add to calendar, a Most loved list, and offline use, then Christmas mugs: visitors' mug photos, approved before they show, a mug shelf with collectible mugs, and mug links to share. Celebrations for Christmas and New Year arrived too, along with a few hidden surprises. Shipped and in use for the season, which now runs to February 2027. The first real mug photos are approved as they arrive, and feedback is watched as people start using it.

Advisory 2 TSTM Thunderstorm
A burst of last polish before the atlas is shared with a few hundred people. The markets moved to a live database with an admin site for the owner, and a launch review fixed a bug where signing in on a second device erased the favorites, and cleaned the text of 258 market entries. A popup on iPhone was fixed, the filters now fold away, and there are 404 pages. Shipped and live. The admin site goes live on 6 November, nightly backups and automatic deploys follow later that week, and the markets without confirmed dates get a second check in late November. The atlas runs to January 2027, then is refreshed for the next season.

Advisory 1 TSTM Thunderstorm
A new system forms, grown from an earlier single-file atlas built from a market guide. The atlas was redesigned, its 2026 dates and links were checked, and it went live on odd nook, with sign-in by email link and link previews.
