1. Christkindlmrket | Chicago, IL
The Christkindlmarket is based on cherished German and European Christmas traditions. Inspired by the 16th-century Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg, Germany, one of the first outdoor markets of its kind, the Christkindlmarket has grown so popular that it has two additional locations other than its classic Chicago spot. With vendors serving up classic German delights such as stuffed gourmet pretzels, caramel popcorn and schnitzel, you’ll feel like you traveled to a quaint town in western Europe this Christmas.
