The Vienna police have delivered a light-hearted Christmas message to the public, sharing a humorous video on social media to wish residents a safe and peaceful holiday season.

‎In the short clip, inspired by the famous Christmas character, a “Grinch” is seen stealing three wrapped presents from under a Christmas tree. The mock theft does not go unnoticed: a police officer spots the act, and members of Vienna’s elite WEGA unit swiftly intervene, apprehending the would-be gift thief.

‎“Stealing presents? Not on our watch,” the Vienna police wrote alongside the video. “Our colleagues from WEGA make sure gifts stay exactly where they belong – under the Christmas tree.”

‎The video, posted on Instagram, also serves as a thank-you to officers who remain on duty during the holidays to ensure safety across the Austrian capital. It has been widely shared and viewed thousands of times, drawing positive reactions from users and spreading festive cheer online.

‎Police said the message was intended to reassure families that they can celebrate Christmas in peace, while also acknowledging the dedication of emergency services working throughout the festive period.

Austria’s Social Affairs Minister Korinna Schumann has paid tribute to care workers and emergency responders for their dedication over the Christmas period.

‎Speaking to a newspaper, the SPÖ minister said she would spend Christmas quietly in Vienna with her husband, sharing a raclette meal followed by a traditional walk. Before the celebrations, however, Schumann made visits on Christmas Eve to the Augarten care facility and Vienna’s professional emergency medical service.

‎During her visits, Schumann personally thanked staff working in nursing and emergency services, highlighting that they continue their duties so others can celebrate the holidays in peace.
‎“Employees in care and emergency services are working during Christmas so that others can enjoy the festive season calmly,” she said. “That alone deserves great appreciation.”

‎The minister added that her visits once again showed the commitment and sense of responsibility with which staff carry out their work. “I was able to see firsthand the dedication with which these women and men perform their duties,” Schumann told.

Austrian banks have issued an urgent warning to the public after recording a sharp rise in phishing attacks in the run-up to Christmas and the New Year.

According to banking officials, fraudsters are increasingly posing as bank employees and contacting customers via phone calls, text messages and emails. Their aim is to trick people into revealing sensitive information or authorising fraudulent transactions.

Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods, often creating a sense of urgency by claiming that accounts have been locked, suspicious payments detected or personal data needs to be updated. These messages typically contain links to fake websites designed to steal login details. In some cases, victims are contacted by callers who appear highly professional and warn of alleged unauthorised transfers, urging immediate action — including approval of instant payments.

The Austrian Banking Association said banks are continuously analysing reported fraud cases and actively informing customers about current scam tactics and protective measures. While financial institutions have implemented extensive technical and organisational security systems, fraud attempts are becoming more convincing.

“Fraudsters deliberately create artificial urgency and use deceptively authentic contact methods to exploit human vulnerabilities,” the association said. “It is therefore essential to question any suspicious request carefully and avoid acting rashly.”

After weeks of persistent fog and gloomy conditions in Austria’s lowland regions, meteorologists say the chances of snow over Christmas are increasing, particularly in the south and east of the country. A cold easterly airflow moving in just ahead of the holidays is expected to bring wintery conditions to several regions, including parts of Vienna.

According to UBIMET meteorologist Michele Salmi, the probability of a white Christmas is currently highest in southern and eastern Austria. By contrast, snow cover in western lowland areas is expected to remain limited.

December 2025 has so far been exceptionally dull in many parts of the country. Cities such as Linz, Vienna, Eisenstadt and St. Pölten have recorded far fewer hours of sunshine than the long-term average, raising the possibility of one of the most overcast Decembers on record unless conditions improve before the end of the month.

That improvement may come just in time for Christmas. From Christmas Eve onwards, colder air from Eastern Europe is forecast to spread across Austria, while a low-pressure system over Italy is expected to bring moisture, particularly to southern and eastern regions. Snow levels are forecast to fall steadily on 24 December, from around 400 metres initially to lower elevations later in the day.

While parts of the far east and southeast may see a mix of rain and snow at times, higher chances of snowfall are expected in hilly and mountainous areas of the south and east. In western and north-western Austria, only isolated snow flurries are currently forecast.

Temperatures are expected to range between -1°C and +3°C, accompanied by brisk northeasterly winds. Christmas Day and St Stephen’s Day are likely to be mostly dry across much of the country. Some light snowfall may persist in the south and early on in the east, while sunnier conditions are expected in the west due to föhn winds, although low cloud and fog could linger in valleys.

‎An Austrian fashion and lifestyle retailer operating in four federal states has filed for bankruptcy, bringing its business to an end and leaving dozens of employees facing unemployment.

‎According to the Alpine Creditors’ Association (AKV) and the Credit Protection Association KSV1870, insolvency proceedings were initiated on Monday at the Vienna Commercial Court against Panthax GmbH, formerly known as Higgins GmbH. The company operated ten stores across Vienna, Lower Austria, Upper Austria and Salzburg.

‎The insolvency was attributed to several factors. Sales in the first months of operation fell well short of forecasts, including during traditionally strong periods such as the back-to-school season and the Christmas shopping period. In addition, unexpectedly high construction and store fit-out costs placed severe strain on the company’s finances, as investments significantly exceeded initial planning.

‎High fixed costs further exacerbated the situation, while revenues proved insufficient to cover ongoing expenses. Combined with a lack of liquidity and overly optimistic sales projections, these pressures ultimately led to the company’s collapse.

‎A total of 56 employees are affected. Wages and salaries have been paid up to the end of November 2025. The company’s liabilities amount to approximately €1.5 million, with around 220 creditors involved.

‎“According to its own statements, the debtor does not intend to continue operating the business,” said Alexander Greifeneder of KSV1870.

Austrian Bundesliga side Sturm Graz have parted ways with head coach Jürgen Säumel, the club confirmed on Monday evening. The 36-year-old, who led the team to the league title last season, spent just over a year in charge.

‎The decision follows weeks of internal tensions between Säumel and sporting director Michael Parensen, with disagreements over the club’s sporting direction leading to a growing power struggle. Säumel’s explosive interview after the recent Graz derby, in which he criticised the club hierarchy and Parensen directly, proved a turning point.

‎The club, currently third in the Admiral Bundesliga, has yet to confirm a successor. One potential candidate is SV Ried coach Maximilian Senft. However, Ried’s sporting director Wolfgang Fiala has insisted that Senft remains under contract until 2027 and that no talks have taken place with Sturm Graz. Any move would therefore require both the club’s approval and a significant transfer fee.

‎Sturm now face the challenge of stabilising the squad and defending their title ambitions as they search for a new coach.

‎Christmas is meant to be a time of family, reflection, and harmony. Yet, for many, the holiday season often brings stress, arguments, and tension. Birgit Satke, head of the advice team at Rat auf Draht, a child and youth helpline, acknowledges that “things don’t always go as planned, and Christmas evenings often end with conflict.”

‎During the holidays, calls to the helpline’s 147 number spike, particularly from children and teenagers. Common concerns include disputes with parents or siblings, disappointment over gifts, feelings of loneliness, or being overwhelmed. For children of separated parents, there is often a strong desire to reunite as a family for the festive season.

‎Parents also feel the pressure. According to the advisory platform elternseite.at, the so-called “mental load”—the invisible management of daily family life—rises significantly at Christmas. Conversations frequently focus on self-care and setting clear boundaries.

‎To help families avoid conflict around the Christmas tree, Rat auf Draht offers the following advice:

‎Plan ahead: Allow everyone to share their expectations so compromises can be made.

‎Share responsibilities: Cooking and decorating together eases stress and strengthens bonds.

‎Get fresh air: Walks can work wonders, especially for children.

‎Forget perfection: Focus on spending time together, not making everything flawless.

‎Relax dress codes: Comfort is key—jogging pants instead of formal wear is fine.

‎Avoid contentious topics: Put politics and family disagreements on pause.

‎Reconsider traditions: Gift exchanges instead of excessive presents, or a smaller tree—anything agreed upon by all is allowed.

‎Satke notes: “As every year, we expect a heightened demand for advice during Christmas.” The 147 helpline operates 24/7 throughout the holidays, offering free and anonymous support. Online video consultations for parents are available until 23 December, with services resuming on 5 January 2026.

Over 3,900 subscribers of the SPÖeins-TV channel received a festive surprise as party leader Andreas Babler granted an “exclusive interview” to his own media outlet.

In his first nine months as Minister for Media, Babler has yet to introduce any reforms or new funding programs for Austria’s struggling media sector. Instead, he launched his party’s own channel, SPÖeins, which has already attracted attention.

On Friday, Babler appeared on the channel’s YouTube broadcast. On his page, he promoted the interview, saying he would discuss the past year, his goals for 2026, and personal insights—a post written somewhat awkwardly, but with evident enthusiasm.

The newspaper Der Standard, which devoted a full page to Babler in its weekend edition, reportedly received only “post-exclusive” statements, including Babler’s remark that “certain media outlets exaggerate rumors.”
Despite recent poor polling—SPÖ has fallen to just 17%—Babler told Der Standard: “Of course, I feel secure in my position.”

In the roughly eleven-minute conversation with SPÖeins, Babler maintained a confident tone, stating that “it’s good that SPÖ is in government” and describing 2025 as “personally very turbulent.”

Babler highlighted the party’s return to government and recounted a costly trip to the U.S. shortly after taking office, which reportedly cost taxpayers nearly €14,000.

He also addressed the topic of rising living costs, declaring, “Inflation must come down,” though the government has so far achieved no measurable relief, with prices remaining around 4% in November—a figure affecting many families.

The YouTube broadcast drew modest attention, with 1,300 viewers tuning in by Saturday morning and 113 likes on the video. The interview concluded with moderator Anna Ernst praising Babler’s “personal and very strong words,” and a festive toast: “Salut.”

A dramatic police operation unfolded Friday evening in Vienna’s Donaustadt district after a man allegedly threatened a neighbor with a weapon following a theft.

According to authorities, an 18-year-old woman called emergency services around 8 p.m., reporting that her 41-year-old neighbor had threatened her with a firearm when she approached his door. The confrontation reportedly followed the theft of four vodka bottles from her apartment.

Police and WEGA special forces responded quickly, cordoning off Wagramer Straße as they approached the multi-unit building. During the operation, the suspect allegedly aimed a long gun at officers but was safely subdued, disarmed, and taken into custody. A video submitted by a local witness shows the intense police response.

Investigators later found multiple airsoft guns, a BB pistol, and two knives in the suspect’s apartment. Blood-alcohol tests indicated the man had nearly 4‰ alcohol in his system. Authorities have imposed a restraining order and temporary weapons ban, and further investigations are ongoing.
