German term or phrase: ein Fest der Sinne
Weihnachtsmärkte in Deutschland sind ein Fest der Sinne. Geröstete Esskastanien, Lebkuchen, Mandeln und Glühwein. Kleine Holzbuden mit Unmengen an bunten Spielsachen und Weihnachtsschmuck jeder Art. Und wenn es erst mal dunkel wird und alles festlich beleuchtet ist, dann zeigen sich die Märkte von ihrer schönsten Seite. Es liegt ein Zauber in der Luft und man fühlt, ja, Weihnachten ist nahe.

a treat (or feast) for all the senses


Explanation:
I would add the word "all" for a rounder English phrase but it is totally subjective
