What about a production building that looks like a market stall and produces snacks?
- baked apple (apples and firewood)
- baked chestnut (chestnut and firewood)
- baked potato (potato and firewood)
- popcorn (corn and firewood)

IMO the output produce should have a trade value of just 1 (even with firewood used) to prevent it becoming an export item and be used exclusively for home consumption during holidays. And the output numbers should be small (e.g.: 5 apples and firewood into 6-7 baked apples depending on education)

Good or bad idea?
There's never enough deco stuff!!!

Good idea and good products.

It's basically an oven needed and a heater for the popcorn.
It sounds great as long as we keep the pizza-eaters at bay.  ::)

Let me think about it (it's over midnight and I'm tired)

A good sleep do wonders. :)

I listened to @Gatherer and decided to have another market stall
with the products he suggested. I changed the numbers a bit.
Who wants to actually make less food or value?

I take 6 food (value 1), 1 firewood (value 4) and get 5-6 food (value 2)
So with uneducated it gets even and else a small gain.

I really tried to have a 'nisse' working, but ended up with two in the menu.
I guess I will have to combine this with 'tomteverkstad' if I want only one.

Excellent! Who makes most business on Christmas markets? People who sell something to eat and drink (maybe there should be warm ale/mead/wine, spiced with herbs, too)

Gatherer

Brilliant stuff!!! Christmas is going to be great in Banished town.

Glad you like it!

Why not try Discrepancy's Small Village?
There is a small mead brewer.

The popcorn didn't pop so I made roasted corncobs.

I love it-thank you kid.  How hard would it be to add fruitcake or gingerbread to the bakery or to a stall?  We have fruit and in CC there is ginger collected by the gatherer.

Thank you @kid1293, for all these little goodies.  :)

I don't know if this would be easy to do, but how about some wreaths and garlands? Instant build, instant destroy decorations, just like your washing line clothes.

Speaking of... a range of designer-label Christmas nappies would be super. ;D (just kidding)

kid1293

I would love more decorations @elemental !

But - a big but, all walls are not aligned, so some decorations
would hang in the air, or worse, inside the wall.
Doing it for just some special houses is not fair.

It has to be some freestanding deco.
Maybe a new tree or something.

A decorated christmas tree? One normal and one double height? With decorative ghost christmas presents boxes?

I'm surprised to hear that because the straight row houses line up perfectly (they are "row" houses, after all). The angled houses get much more complicated but nobody expects you to make decorations that will fit on absolutely every house. That's far too much work. But even just a couple of different wreaths for some of the doors would be a very nice Christmassy touch. :)

I'm really loving your new row houses, too. One of my favourite mods. Thanks so much for updating them and adding that new texture set.  :)

@elemental, I really like the looks of those garlands and wreaths.  No kidding, I wouldn't mind seeing some red long-johns hanging out on the wash line even in the snow.

@grammycat, what is Christmas without gingerbread men and Christmas stollen.  I think a separate stall or Gingerbread House bakery would be better than adding it to an existing bakery. 

@Nilla, not a tavern but maybe a drinks stall that looks Christmasy that sells hot cocoa, spiced eggnog, or hot apple cider.

@Gatherer, I agree, we definitely need Christmas trees. 

How do we thank mod makers for making our Christmas merry and bright?  (big) THANK YOU

kid1293

Thanks @drnad !
Just a thing I never thought of.

...so again, here is (the updated)

Tomteverkstad
No problems that I know if you update.

I agree with @Abandoned that Gingerbread should be a small
(but significant) stall in the market.
I also agree with @grammycat that we should have fruitcake.

Is it possible to have an updated 'Xmas Market' with these things?

I mean - there is an oven and room to make more food.
But it would also mean that if you want them you have to cultivate
ginger (does CC do that ? ) or trade for ginger, sugar and flour.
I will not start a production chain for flour and sugar.

It can stay as a menu entry 'til you have the ingredients so, no worry.

edit: Colonial Houses mod has sugar and flour production. :)
        Just need ginger resources.

And my addition...

Christmas Tree
download below 'ChristmasTree_v1.zip'

This mod adds a buildable Christmas Tree for your village.
It will give happiness in spirit to all citizens.
They will also idle at the tree.

It sits on a 5x5 footprint, with the tree centered, the outer tiles around are road tiles:
Tree = 0 | Road = 1
11111
11111
11011
11111
11111

I did this because the tree has a fairly large spreading canopy.

Build cost = 5 logs + 21 work (1-2 Builders)

The decorations didn't turn out as well as I would have liked. ;) that said, I didn't spend a great deal of time on them either.
