To help get us further in the spirit, we\u2019ve asked men\u2019s lifestyle and travel blogger Joe Miragliotta of&nbsp;JoesDaily.com&nbsp;to tell us about the exciting Christmas and holiday markets that can be found all across the country.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I have to say, when I looked into just how long Christmas markets (or Christkindlsmarkts) had been around, I was pretty shocked. As it turns out, the first appeared in Germany over 400 years ago, with winter markets dating back significantly further. While taking a tour of the markets in Germany\u2014honestly, Europe in general\u2014is high up on my bucket list, I\u2019m realistic enough to know that\u2019s not something that will be happening soon. That said, I also don\u2019t plan on waiting until that happens to experience that special magic. Thankfully, it turns out there are actually plenty of options scattered around our own country. Check out the list below to see if there\u2019s one near you!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1.

With locations in the Loop, Wrigleyville, and even Naperville, you have your options in the way of convenience. Depending on which you find yourself at, expect to see dozens of vendors offering everything from handblown ornaments and cuckoo clocks to strudel and Gl\u00fcwein. For those venturing to Daley Plaza on Sundays between 2-4 p.m., you might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of their very own Christkind, a \u201cfairy-like being dressed in gold and white robes with a crown upon her golden locks\u201d\u2014the giver of gifts in most German-speaking countries.<\/p>\n<p>From: November 16th &#8211;&nbsp;December 24th<br \/>\nLocation: Daley Plaza is 50 W Washington Street, Chicago, IL 60602*<br \/>\nAdmission: Free<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2.

Those from the Keystone State are surely already familiar with the extravaganza that is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christmascity.org\/christkindlmarkt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Christkindlmarkt<\/a> but, for those of us outside of Pennyslvania, know that it\u2019s amazing enough to earn the town the nickname of \u201cChristmas City.\u201d In addition to goods from over 150 incredible artisans from all over the nation, visitors can also look forward to live Christmas music, ice carving, and glassblowing demonstrations. If you\u2019re looking for a little something extra, you can even have breakfast with St. Nicholas, pending the purchase of an additional ticket. The market runs through the weekend before Christmas, so you still have plenty of time to plan your trip and snag some unique gifts and experiences from one of the most exciting Christkindlmarkts around!<\/p>\n<p>Dates: Weekends (and Thursdays in Dec) November 16th &#8211; December 23rd<br \/>\nLocation: E 1st St, Bethlehem, PA 18015<br \/>\nAdmission: ~$10 for adults and ~$6 for children<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3.&nbsp;Downtown Holiday Market, Washington DC<\/strong><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28867 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/downtown-holiday-market.jpg\" alt=\"Downtown Holiday Market\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/downtown-holiday-market.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/downtown-holiday-market-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/downtown-holiday-market-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/downtown-holiday-market-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/downtown-holiday-market-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>For a more Americanized\u2014but still completely awesome\u2014take, there\u2019s the <a href=\"http:\/\/downtownholidaymarket.com\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Downtown Holiday Market<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Downtown-Washington-DC-Washington-Hotels.0-n800144-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington DC<\/a>.

While this market happens to be open every day of the week, exhibitors\u2019 participation varies. So, if you had a special one in mind, be sure to check ahead of time to confirm they\u2019ll be there. Of course, should you get your wires crossed, there\u2019s always the Smithsonian right behind you (also, all of the other spectacular shops).

Instead of pulling their inspiration from the classic German roots, they take you back to the enchanting atmosphere of Victorian London. While $30 for admission might seem a bit steep compared to others on this list, keep in mind that there\u2019s an entire fair included with this market. From bustled gowns to pewter cups, every shop is chockfull of what one might expect to find while walking the streets of nineteenth-century Britain. Lovers of English food will be happy to know the staples\u2014like roasted chestnuts, tea and scones, bangers and mash, and meat pies\u2014are all readily available. Anyone wanting to take a more passive approach to their experience won\u2019t be disappointed either. Their variety of shows range from musical numbers and Scottish &amp; Irish dancers to scenes from Dickens\u2019&nbsp;A Christmas Carol&nbsp;and cancan performances. They might be one of the only ones around doing the Victorian thing, but they\u2019re certainly doing it right.<\/p>\n<p>Dates: Weekends November 17th &#8211; December 23rd<br \/>\nLocation: Cow Palace Exhibition Halls, San Francisco<br \/>\nAdmission: $30 for adults, $14 kids 5-12, kids 5 and under free<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7.
