You can now get paid £300 to test out Christmas markets across the UK and Germany

That's half of what we all probably spend at them each year

You can now get paid as much as £300 to test and review Christmas markets across the UK and Germany. This festive dream job was listed by Premier Inn, who are looking to make up for lost time as Brits and the rest of the world had to spend last year without their usual trip for a mug of mulled wine and too many bratwursts. There are five 'Christmas Market Tester' roles listed on their site and each lucky so-and-so will get to choose their top two markets to visit from the following selection: London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Dublin or Frankfurt.

However, the best part about all of this is that you can bring a friend along for the free ride too and if you should choose Frankfurt or Dublin as your preferred market(s), you'll receive £300. That's a lot of beer and strudel.

From there, the popular hotel chain will then use your expert cheese and gingerbread eating skills in a report that will hopefully highlight the best of the best when it comes to Christmas market locations. Fill out your application by November 28 to be in with a chance of testing out Christmas markets and actually coming away with more money than you started with - race you there!
