I've heard about the Berlin Zoo that it's a very good one so maybe it's to combine with the kurfurstendam in one day, also together with the bombed church.
Most of the better Christmas markets will be in Mitte (eastern half). Moreover, the two largest shopping malls, The Mall of Berlin and Alexa, are also in Mitte. Many of the stores along the Ku'damm can also be found in those locations as well. In addition to along Friedrichstraße and around Alexanderplatz.
