Merry Market Experience
Celebrate 30 years of holiday magic at Christkindlmarket Chicago with the Merry Market Experience!
Get straight to the Wunder of the market with expedited entry through our designated VIP entrance, where you can skip the general admission line and begin your holiday adventure! Once inside, wander among twinkling lights and festive wooden huts as you follow a self-guided anniversary scavenger hunt, uncovering the stories, traditions, and longtime vendors that have made the market a beloved holiday tradition for three decades.
Along the way, enjoy a seasonal beverage of hot cocoa or cider in our 2026 souvenir flute mug and discover the magic that makes Christkindlmarket so special. Whether you’re continuing a cherished family tradition or experiencing the market for the very first time, the Merry Market Experience is a special way to celebrate 30 years of Wunder and make holiday memories of your own.
‘Tis the season to celebrate!
