The silly season has well and truly begun and our calendars seem to be filling up for the month with more plans than we've had all year.
We're not going to lie, when it comes to Christmas and the craziness of it all we can be a little bit grinchy over here, but... there's nothing we love more than a Chrissy market to get us in the festive spirit. So we've rounded up 6 epic Christmas markets happening on the Sunshine Coast this season.
