I am trying to book a ticket back to Barcelona from Dusseldorf on December 26th. However, there are no trains from Dusseldorf to Paris available. How can I find available seats or an alternate route?

Where do you search? Don’t use the Rail Planner app to plan your trip, use instead an official site, e.g. bahn.de or sbb.ch:

You can find a reservations guide here:

A correction of my previous post, it is possible that this train is already sold out for passholders. I will search other possibilities.

@ezbethk I provided a link to a reservations guide in my first answer, you will find the best options to book the reservations (I suppose that you have already an Interrail/Eurail Pass). I found a second connection from Düsseldorf to Paris:

You can book the TGV or ICE reservation between Karlsruhe and Paris from raileurope (they dont charge a booking fee on top of the reservation cost) 

Also:

The ICEs going from Germany to Paris are in my opinion more comfortable then the TGVs on that route.
