Christmas shows in garden centers

Last updated: November 28, 2025.

It is impossible to imagine them without in the run-up to Christmas: Christmas shows in garden centers. It seems like garden centers are getting bigger and bigger during this period. And that is not surprising, because the Christmas shows attract a lot of public every year. Sometimes not even to buy, but mainly to watch. And especially take the children with you because they are sure to feast their eyes on all those amazing Christmas villages.

Intratuin Duiven

Intratuin Du iven’s Christmas show is perhaps the largest in all of the Netherlands. It can therefore be quite busy, so make sure you come early. Then it is not so busy. We visited the Christmas show in Duiven last year for the first time and we were quite impressed! Especially the details of the different Christmas villages were beautiful: what a lot of work must have gone into it! Very nice were the different themes that you saw especially on the upper floor. By the way, the escalator upstairs was also really beautifully decorated. And then upstairs: from Harry Potter to Disney…. really everything passes by. We had a great time there.

Garden center De Bosrand in Wassenaar

With 9,000 m² of covered space and a spacious outdoor area brimming with greenery, De Bosrand Garden Center in Wassenaar offers an impressive range of Christmas decorations, artificial and real Christmas trees in all shapes and sizes. But De Bosrand is more than just shopping. During the Christmas show you can enjoy fun activities for young and old, such as crafts and workshops, a scavenger hunt through the garden center, and in the outdoor area sometimes even an ice skating rink. It’s the place where the whole family gets a full Christmas experience at once.

Global Garden in Zwaanshoek

Global Garden’ s Christmas show has not just been a household name for years. People from all over the country come here to take a look. The two thousand square meters of Christmas atmosphere will certainly be to their liking. There is plenty to see and hear and for children there is plenty to do. And if you are still looking for Christmas gifts, you have come to the right place. Just think of the beautiful candles and handmade Christmas ornaments they sell there! So you’ll always arrive with something special.

Garden Center Borghuis

Plenty of inspiration at Tuincentrum Borghuis near Hengelo! Walk from the entrance along the meter-long lights to the department with the coziest and most beautiful Christmas department. Everything has been placed in such a way that you can immediately imagine it in your own home! Take a look at the beautifully laid tables for which you immediately get all the items for your own Christmas table. Or change the color of your baubles! The Christmas show at Tuincentrum Borghuis covers an area of 4,000 m², so there is no shortage of inspiration.

If you go, don’t forget your camera, because it’s a shame not to be able to enjoy this.

Garden Center Leurs

Garden center Leurs in Venlo has been awarded several times as the best of all garden centers in the Netherlands. Also at Christmas they pack out all the stops with a miniature world complete with cozy squares with a campfire, skating rinks and of course Christmas villages. Real enjoyment!
