And today the Yorkshire Evening Post has taken a sneaky glimpse behind the scenes as work continues ahead of the grand opening.
In the pouring rain, crews worked in Millennium Square and City Square as they were transformed into a festive workshop - with chalets being assembled as the first hints of Christmas are assembled.
The market promises more than 60 beautifully decorated chalets and an improved layout. Visitors can look forward to browsing a fantastic selection of artisan gifts, indulging in classic treats like Bratwurst sausages and seasonal food and drink.
Coun Jonathan Pryor, Leeds City Council’s deputy leader and executive member for economy, transport and sustainable development, captured the city's excitement, stating: “Christmas in Leeds is always such a special time.
