12. Bristol

13. Cardiff
Though it has one of the best Christmas markets, the traffic is difficult to handle and that makes this place drop down in the list.
14. Birmingham
It also has one of the largest Christmas markets but competition and traffic spoil the game.
15. Liverpool

16. London
You may be informed about the shopping at Oxford Street and Camden but the traffic in season is miserable and that shuts its case.
17. Swansea
Otherwise, a beautiful city, the lack of parking options is its biggest bane. If you can opt for public transport then you may consider it.
18. Leicester
Neither does it have a great Christmas market nor parking space, so can be avoided.
19. Leeds
Though it offers shopping positions but the feel of Christmas is just not there.
20. Sheffield
People staying in Yorkshire find this city a great option to visit. But if you consider the overall experience of shopping and the type of Christmas market this city loses a lot of its credibility.
