Christmas markets open until New Years Eve

We are unable to travel until after Christmas (around the 28th of December), and we're wondering which cities/towns might still have Christmas markets open at that time? I know most close by the afternoon of Christmas Eve, but we've visited some in the past (like Prague) after Christmas.

I see on this site http://www.germany-christmas-market....mas_market.php that at least some of the Berlin markets are open through 31 December, but I can't tell if only one is still open, or if quite a few of them remain open after Christmas. I don't know that it is worth the trip if only one of the many markets will still be open.

Any suggestions? Has anyone visited markets after Christmas?

Thanks!

Thanks jamikins. We visited the Bruges markets last year before Christmas so we're looking for somewhere new. Other Christmas markets we've visited in prior years (not necessarily after Christmas) are Valkenburg, Cologne, and Prague.

I recall markets in Salzburg being open a couple of days after Christmas, but not until New Year, because they need the space for revelers.
