Here is a somewhat light but informative overview of Christmas market options this year, I guess since it's a British paper they included sites in the UK that one wouldn't normally consider

Thank you. Good planning material.
Here is another list. But funny thing us the photo for the Budapest Christmas market is not of the Christmas market. https://travelcurator.com/destinations/europes-best-christmas-markets/
This is the most comprehensive list I know for all of Europe: https://www.brunnvalla.ch/christmasmarkets/germany.html
The German list seems to be pretty exhaustive, some of the other countries are missing a lot of markets.

Also remember, a few markets go a long way. There are only so many cute wooden ornaments and caloric foods one person can handle, and there is a lot of repetition. After about 30 minutes in Strasbourg I was quite done.
Phred, exactly. Which is why you need a great city.
Recommending the only market in Berlin which is not proceeded as in all years is a proof for very poor research. Thumb down.
Gendarmenmarkt is construction site whole year through - market is moved to Bebelplatz.
