Enjoy A Virtual Visit To Illinois’ Christkindlmarket For Online Shopping And Fun This Holiday Season
This year, Chicago’s annual Christkindlmarket will not be held in person, but online from November 1 through December 31, 2020, allowing people from all across the nation to enjoy this authentic German-style Christmas market from the comfort of their own homes. This virtual event is appropriately called “Home For The Holidays” and features an online marketplace, fun events, and interactive activities for the whole family to enjoy.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
But, as you know, the year 2020 has proven to be anything but normal. Christkindlmarket has adapted its event this year to go online so that all can participate safely while staying at home.
Cooking demos, German conversation groups, and storytimes are scheduled throughout the weeks, all for free. Check out the calendar so you don't miss a thing!
And if you attend the Christkindlmarket in person each year, you may miss walking around outdoors with a cup of hot chocolate or Glühwein. This year, you can make your own at home with a Glühwein spice pack or some hot chocolate mix, both of which can be ordered from the virtual shop. (Side note: they also make great gifts!)
Chicago’s Christkindlmarket is a family tradition that continues albeit virtually this year. Join the fun and find the perfect gifts online by visiting their website and ask your friends and family from around the country or globe to join as well!
Address: 50 W Washington St, Chicago, IL 60602, USA
