Roppongi Hills Christmas Market in Tokyo, Japan, is ranked 27th. It is one of the most popular Christmas markets in Asia. The market offers German-style live carol performers, crafts, twinkling lights, a true holiday atmosphere and authentic German dishes.

In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, head right to the Christmas Quarter market. Organized by APW Bangsar, the market greets visitors with fun activities, caroling, pantomimes and more. It comes the 35th in the rating.

Christmasland in New Taipei City, Taiwan, is the last Christmas market from Asia featured in the list under number 46. Held on a huge urban square, it offers one of the tallest Christmas trees in the country, light tunnels and a glimmering winter forest installation.
