This event is an event where you can enjoy the traditional "Christmas sweets" that are eaten when celebrating Christmas in various European countries. More than 30 kinds of sweets are sold in 16 countries, just like a "Christmas market".

For example, the British "mince pie" has a saying that "eating 12 pieces by January 5 will bring good luck." Also, if you say "Polvoron" in Spain three times before it melts in your mouth, happiness will come.
