2. Visit A Christmas Market
We know winter is the best season to chill indoors while enjoying the warmth of your home. But what will Christmas be without a Christmas Market? If you’re planning to visit Chicago, we have good news for you! The city’s two Christmas markets, which are inspired by European customs, are excellent places to truly feel the holiday spirit throughout the colder months.
Take a walk through the heart of the city while smelling the aroma of roasting nuts and listening to Christmas songs. Don’t miss out on the baked pretzel or sausage, as well as the German specialty mulled wine, Glühwein.
Christkindlmarkts are among the best, most authentic, and only official Christmas markets in the US, so there’s no need to be concerned if you can’t make it to Germany this year.
