We’re thrilled to announce the return of the much-loved Mexican Christmas Market at Coal Drops Yard, now celebrating its sixth edition!
Brought to you by El Pastor, MexiBrit, and Coal Drops Yard, and curated by Paola Feregrino, this festive weekend will once again fill King’s Cross with Mexican colour, creativity, and Christmas cheer.
From Friday 28 to Sunday 30 November 2025, the market will transform Coal Drops Yard into a lively celebration of Mexico’s rich artisanal traditions, delicious food, and joyful music — the perfect way to kick off the festive season in true Mexican style.
What to Expect
Explore a vibrant collection of authentic Mexican crafts, handmade jewellery, clothing, art, ornaments, and design pieces — all perfect for thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gifts.
Savour the flavours of Mexico with an incredible selection of street food and sweet treats, including sopes, tamales, churros, pan dulce, and hot chocolate, plus Mexican ingredients to take home.
If you’re in the mood to sit down and relax, El Pastor will be open throughout the weekend for tacos, tostadas, and festive margaritas made with heirloom Mexican maize and traditional recipes.
The market’s joyful atmosphere will be filled with live performances, family piñatas, and festive activities that bring the warmth and energy of Mexico to the heart of London.
