Host Doehrn Tea is excited to announce the return of the Oxford Holiday Market in historic Oxford, Maryland from Friday, December 12 through Sunday, December 14, 2025. The Market will take place at the Oxford Community Center and promises to be a festive celebration filled with beautiful artisan gifts, fun activities, delicious food, and a visit from Santa Claus himself!

Located along the scenic waterfront of one of Maryland’s most charming Eastern Shore towns, the Oxford Holiday Market is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with family and friends. This event brings together talented craftspeople offering hand-made goods that make the perfect holiday gifts, from jewelry and home décor to artisanal foods and one-of-a-kind treasures.

Highlights of the 2025 Oxford Holiday Market:

Delicious Tea and Cakes: Take a break from shopping to enjoy seasonal treats like stollen and holiday cookies while sipping teas by Doehrn Tea with your friends and family as you soak up the holiday atmosphere. The café will open an hour early each day for tea-time before the market opens.

Unique Artisan Gifts: Shop from a curated selection of local and regional artists from woodworkers to glassmakers, jewelers and crocheters, painters, and sculptors. Along with small-batch rum and liqueur, imported oils and vinegars, hand-crafted soaps, candles, and yarns – all perfect for your holiday gift-giving.

Search for the Elves (again!): Make the day even more exciting by searching for our wandering elves! Little elves are hiding throughout the Market and farther afield in the shops around town. Help us search for these mischievous elves earning fun rewards for each elf returned to their castle at the Market. The search is on all weekend long, and the perfect way to explore the market and experience Oxford’s charming holiday spirit.

With its charming small-town setting, visitors are encouraged to make a weekend of it, exploring the town’s local shops, the Holiday Train Exhibit at the Oxford Museum, along with beautiful waterfront views.
