The Alp Chalet and Ski Hutte will be returning to the city centre for another year, and bringing that festive cheer that makes us all feel like it really is 'the most wonderful time of the year'.
Taking over the space outside Millenium Square over the festive period, the popular Christmas markets will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in Leeds.
According to the dedicated Facebook page, Leeds annual Christmas Markets will run from Saturday 5 November for six weeks, right up until the weekend before the big day. Closing on Saturday 18 December, there will be ample opportunity to visit the traditionally decorated wooden chalet stalls- and sample the best of German-inspired food and drink.
We're talking gluhwein by the glass, bratwurst sausages and schnitzels aplenty, as well as activities for the entire family to get involved in.
Santa's Breakfast will be back in the Bavarian-style chalets every weekend where families can enjoy a buffet spread with the big man in red, whilst art and craft activities keep children of all ages entertained.
Throughout the week, there will also be a daily selection of entertainment.
Whilst the announcement hasn't been made on the Millenium Square website, it's expected that all the usual festive themed entertainment will make this one of the most exciting place to visit in Leeds in the autumn months.
After a two year hiatus, Family-run business Honig Klause Heidenau and its natural honey mead will also be returning to the markets, stating that their next Leeds Christmas Market stall will be available from Friday 4 November on the company's website.
More information is expected to be announced about the Leeds Christmas Markets 2022 in the coming weeks as we enter into the autumnal months and the opening dates loom ever-closer.
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

This architectural conversion has taken five years to complete and there's been no expense spared, the pulpit and pews have even been kept to really keep that churchy vibe.
Here's what the listing says: "Welcome to The Old Methodist Church, originally built in 1846 and beautifully transformed over the past five years into a truly exceptional home.
"This remarkable conversion seamlessly blends contemporary living with the building’s historic charm, creating a residence that is both striking and deeply characterful.

"Every detail has been tastefully and skilfully executed, carefully preserving original features while introducing modern design and comfort. The stained glass windows, original pulpit and pews remain as stunning focal points — a real marvel and a tribute to the building’s heritage."
