Makers’ Pop-up Christmas Shop at MOM Park 2026
Discover Budapest’s festive design scene in one place
If you love unique design, handmade gifts, and Christmas markets with a creative twist, the Makers’ Pop-up at MOM Park is the perfect festive stop during your Budapest stay. From December 9 to 21, this special Christmas pop-up store takes over a spacious shop on the -1 level of MOM Park, right next to Coffee Lenoa, bringing together some of Hungary’s most exciting independent designers and makers.
The concept is simple but clever: instead of a traditional market with the same stalls every day, the selection changes weekly. This means it is absolutely worth visiting at least twice if you are in Budapest for more than a few days, as you will meet different designers and fresh collections each week.
Two themed weeks, two different experiences
During the first week, from December 9 to 14, the focus is on fashion, jewellery, accessories, and natural cosmetics. Expect a wide choice of designer shoes, bags, clothing, and distinctive jewellery pieces from local brands such as the Mama Kin and Hoffmann D’or Jewellery, among many others.
From December 16 to 21, the pop-up transforms into a home decor and gift paradise. You will find ceramics, illustrations, textiles, paper goods, plants, small furniture, cosmetics, vintage treasures, and Christmas decorations – everything you need to style your home for the holidays or surprise someone with a truly personal present.
Meet the makers behind the gifts
One of the most charming aspects of the Makers’ Pop-up is that the designers themselves are present in the shop, selling their own work in person. This turns simple Christmas shopping into a series of inspiring conversations and friendly encounters, where you can hear the stories behind the objects you buy.
Best deals of Budapest
The makers’ community aims to bring visitors and local designers closer together during the festive season. The idea is that a gift is not just an object – its value comes from the thought, the story behind it, and the human connection you make when you purchase it directly from its creator.
Creative workshops you can join
To make the experience even more special, the pop-up also hosts several hands-on workshops where you can create your own gifts. Jewellery brand the Mama Kin runs jewellery-making sessions on December 12 and 13, where participants can design and assemble earrings, necklaces, bracelets, or anklets using a wide range of beads, stones, and metal components.
There is also a Hoffmann D’or jewellery workshop on December 12, focusing on creating wax models for silver jewellery that will later be cast and finished in their studio, ready for pick-up before Christmas. Other programs include a Piperita natural cosmetics workshop on December 20, where guests can craft their own lip balm, and ongoing activities with the Mittersisters stand from December 9 to 14, where visitors can assemble custom leather keyrings, Christmas ornaments, or mini bags.
Practical info for visitors
The Makers’ Pop-up Christmas Shop is open daily from 12:00 to 20:00, except on Monday the 15th, when it is closed. You will find it on the -1 level of MOM Park, next to Coffee Lenoa and BOCCA Gourmet Stories, in a large, bright space tied together by a striking textile installation created by designers Ahiy Jeney Szilveszter and Farkas Flóra.
For tourists exploring Budapest in December, this pop-up is an ideal stop between sightseeing and café-hopping. You can easily combine a visit with a stroll in the nearby Buda hills or a relaxing break in one of MOM Park’s cafés and restaurants – and leave not just with Christmas gifts, but with a piece of contemporary Hungarian design culture in your suitcase.
