Christkindlmarket Chicago, the most authentic traditional holiday market of its kind outside of Europe, celebrates its 26th anniversary in 2022. Enjoy the German-style outdoor market at two Chicago locations: Daley Plaza and Wrigleyville. Shop for one-of-a-kind hand-blown ornaments, authentic nutcrackers, cuckoo clocks and beer steins, toys, home décor, jewelry and apparel. Enticing aromas waft through the market: sausages and sauerkraut, potato pancakes, Schnitzel and burgers. Take a slug of Gluehwein, a traditional German holiday market hot spiced wine, to warm up or laugh at the cold with a hearty German beer. Purchase treats to tote home like cookies, Stollen or baked strudel. The heated Timber Haus will feature different vendors offering items from handmade European trapper and pom hats to gingerbread house kits and traditional holiday cookies.
Entertainment includes choirs, carolers, spirited German music and holiday music that'll kick the Grinch right out of your heart.
