Matadero Madrid
Starting this year, Madrid, Christmas of Encounter at Matadero begins a new phase in which each edition’s programme is shaped around a specific artistic and cultural theme. This year’s central theme is the word — a vehicle of memory, emotion, imagination, and shared family moments.
With literature as its guiding thread, the programme proposes a journey through the stories, characters and narratives that have shaped the Christmas imagination of different generations. It pays tribute to the classics of European children’s literature — featuring authors such as Shakespeare, Dickens and Andersen — as well as the tales that have accompanied this festive season throughout time.
In this way, Madrid, Christmas of Encounter fosters togetherness and celebration through shared storytelling, inviting visitors to rediscover the season through literature while opening doors to new forms of cultural connection.
Snowfall over Plaza Matadero
From 20 December to 4 January, 18:00–20:00
One of the most cherished traditions of Madrid, Christmas of Encounter returns: every day at sunset, snow gently falls over Plaza Matadero, magically transforming the open space into a classic winter postcard. From 18:00 onwards, the magic of a true Christmas landscape can be experienced.
