I was able to eat my way through both of the Christkindlmarkets this year, and they did not disappoint. I went to the Wrigleyville location on a Wednesday around 5pm and there was barely anyone there. I visited the downtown location on a Tuesday around 8pm and it was very crowded. Here’s all the delicious plant-based snacks I enjoyed while wandering around the Christmas Tree.
PuffyHouzz has a plethora of mini pancakes with different toppings, and I tried The Santa’s Favorite Puffy, which was covered in strawberries and Nutella. It was the perfect sweet treat to start off my evening there. The collectable mug this year is an aqua blue showing snowy a night at the downtown Christkindlmarket.
Whenever I see a La Boulangerie booth I have to get a croissant – they’re the best in the city.
I can always smell the stinky raclette cheese from Baked Cheese House while walking around the market, but I think these sandwiches taste so good! I got the original with pickles, and it’s the perfect heavy sandwich to keep me warm on a chilly evening.
The markets have some lil stores that you can warm up in if you’re feeling cold. It’s always a good place to buy some ornaments or chocolate for holiday gifts.
These cheese-filled pierogis from the German Grill Company were one of my favorite things I ate at the market. They were so warm, delicious, and filling.
I was able to snatch up these incredible samosas from Chiya Chai right before the downtown market closed. Eating these was the best way to end the night.
