Winter Wonders hours over Christmas and New Year, the same at the five Winter Wonders sites on the map:
| Day | Winter Wonders (1-5) |

Christmas Day and New Year's Day are public holidays in Belgium, yet Winter Wonders keeps its ordinary 12:00 to 22:00 on both. On the three days that end at 18:00, the Grand-Place has no sound and light show. The Os à Moelle Christmas Market has already closed by then, on Sunday 13 December. For the Anderlecht Christmas Market and Christmas Stockel Village, holiday times wait on their 2026 dates.
The Winter Wonders practical information page, in English, sets out the daily hours, the three 18:00 closing days and the pause of the light show on them.

On ordinary days the Winter Wonders stalls open at 12:00 and trade until 22:00, from the opening on Friday 27 November onwards. Trading stops earlier, at 18:00, on 24 December, 31 December and 3 January.
At the Os à Moelle Christmas Market the start moves earlier as the weekend nears: 16:00 on Thursday 10 and Friday 11 December, 13:00 on Saturday 12 December and 11:00 on Sunday 13 December. Closing is at 22:00 from Thursday to Saturday and at 18:00 on the Sunday.
