What's the best way to buy euros in Germany? We're going on a river cruise taking us to several Christmas markets. We understand many vendors don't take credit cards.

You have two options:
1) ATMS. Look for those associated with a bank and try to go during bank hours in case you need help.
2) Guest Services. Depending on the policy of your cruise line, you may be able to do exchanges at the guest services desk on the cruise ship.

If you’re not leaving right away, you can also order Euros from your bank at home to bring on the trip.

Do you know if it's a better exchange rate to do this?

The exchange rate itself will be market rate or close; but the bank will likely charge a service fee.
Bank ATMs are pretty easy to find, honestly, and that way you aren't carrying around a wad of cash. Get it as you need it.

If you're concerned with exchange rates, this may not be the best option.
