Swansea's Christmas market lines Oxford Street and Portland Street in the city centre with wooden chalets selling gifts, decorations, crafts and street food, close to Swansea Market and the Quadrant shopping centre. There is an Alpine-style bar for a warming drink.

The Caroler's Cabin acts as a small stage with a daily programme of school choirs, male voice choirs and bands, and doubles as a festive photo spot when nobody is performing. In 2025 a Merry Marquee added extra artisan food, drink and craft stalls on two December weekends.

The market also forms the backdrop to the city centre's other festive events, such as the Fire & Ice Festival and Mistletoe & Markets.
