Since 1996, the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest has hosted an annual Christkindlesmarket as a way to promote trade in the German community. Now this tradition has spilled over to the US, at the Christkindlmarket Chicago. One of the first outdoor markets in the city, this tradition is known for the intriguing little stores and high-quality products that can be purchased here. 

Now through Dec. 24, stroll down holiday lane and soak up the holiday feels at the Christkindlmarket Chicago. Beautiful scenery, and cups of hot chocolate are also a plus while you shop your local community for fun, unique gifts. Choose from items such as winter hats, apparel, mugs, stationary and of course tasty treats, perfect for a last minute holiday gift. You can pre-order some of your favorite things now by shopping online if you want to be sure they are still available when you’re ready to purchase.
