Matthew and I visit the Christkindlemarket every December holiday season in Chicago! Grab a hot chocolate, purchase some German crafts and trinkets, and enjoy some traditional German comfort foods with family to celebrate this holiday season!
Right across the street from the wedding venue you can skate under the Chicago skyline and are within eyeshot of the Chicago Christmas Tree at the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink in Millennium Park. You can also visit the iconic Chicago Bean!
See some of Chicago's Broadway talent with the showing of the Nutcracker at Jeoffrey's Ballet! There are also other great shows like The Christmas Carol at Goodman's Theater and many more.
Enjoy an ice skating experience like no other at Maggie Daley Park with a Skating Ribbon that allows you to lace up and wind around a winding ice-covered path that's twice the length of a lap around a traditional rink.
