Christkindlmarket Chicago<\/strong><\/span><\/a> | November 15 \u2013 December 24 @ Daley Plaza<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enjoy traditional German cuisine, crafted holiday items, and all the holiday fanfare you can handle. The market itself is free, but the goods are gonna cost ya.

ZooLights<\/a> | November 29 \u2013 January 5 @ Lincoln Park Zoo<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be too much of a stretch to call ZooLights<\/a> Chicago\u2019s most captivating holiday and Christmas event. <\/span>If 2 million lights brightening every inch of the zoo wasn\u2019t reason enough to visit \u2013 you\u2019ll also have access to ice skating, visits with Santa, and of course, animals. The hype is real, folks, and it’s the perfect addition to our Chicago Holiday Guide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ice

\"Christmas<\/a>

Christmas Around the World<\/a> | November 15 \u2013 January 6 @ Museum of Science + Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spend Christmas in Chicago observing 50 trees that have been <\/span>decorated by nations around the world. These trees\u00a0<\/span>saturate the museum\u2019s popular exhibit. In the middle, the Grand Tree, a towering, 45-foot goliath decorated by 30,000 lights and hundreds of vividly glowing ornaments.<\/span><\/p>\n
