I've visited Madrid only during the summer; it's a beautiful city. The Christmas market vibe must be cool, especially if there are more local and traditional stalls, unlike other Christmas markets that tend to look "copy-paste" -- similar to stores and malls across the globe.
Madrid atmosphere is cool, specially for some vacation or just for a weekend, not during working days which is a bit stressful as all big cities.... but I like because there are the best museums, and people are kind. In Christmas there are more traditional things than here for example but I think that nowadays all the Christmas markets have some traditional part and some other "copy paste" as you say... let's enjoy the good one jajaja
