Here's the Ville de Geneve market lists: http://www.ville-geneve.ch/marches-ville-geneve/calendrier-marches/
The Christmas markets info is at the bottom of the page. Also, last year there were markets off Rue de la Confederation and Place de la Fusterie.

If you are interested in Christmas markets, and don't mind going a little bit further away, there are great markets in Mulhouse, Colmar, Riquewhir and Kaysersberg just across the border from Basel. (Strasbourg's market is famous, but very commercial and similar to the ones I mentionned above) To make it even easier to visit all of the great markets, SNCF even has (or had last year and the year before) a regional ticket where you can travel anywhere on the lines between Belfort, Mulhouse and Strasbourg for the entire week-end on that one ticket.
I strongly recommend taking a week-end in December to visit those, or just a day trip to check out the Colmar market. It is stunning, and is the epitome of traditional Christmas markets.

I went to the Montreux Christmas Markets yesterday and it was lovely. Lots of stalls, lots of hot chocolate and hot wine, lovely atmosphere, lots of Christmas lights. Highly recommended! :)
