[Video] Festive vibes in Amsterdam at Christmas

The Netherlands may have its own winter gift-giving tradition of Sinterklaas, but that doesn’t mean that the Christmas holidays can’t feel magical. There likely won’t be any snow, and the Christmas markets aren’t quite as big as the ones you'd find in Germany, but you can certainly have a very merry festive season right here in the Netherlands.
