Nice, France at Christmas – Sun, Lights, Markets & Riviera Holiday Vibes 2025

What does Christmas in Nice, France really feel like? We spent a full day exploring the festive side of Nice — hunting for Christmas decorations in the old town, checking out the Christmas market, soaking up the winter sun, and ending the night on the ferris wheel with mulled wine. Here’s what the holiday season on the Côte d’Azur looks like in 2025!
In this video, we walk through Vieux Nice, stop by Patisserie Auer and Fragonard, wander the Flower Market, visit the “Miroir d’Eau,” explore the Christmas Market at Jardin Albert Ier… and show you exactly how festive the city gets in December. Spoiler: it’s different from London or New York, but it has its own Riviera magic.
If you're planning a winter trip to the French Riviera, this guide will help you understand what to expect from Christmas in Nice — from decorations and lights to food, drinks, and activities around town.
