I recently got a chance to visit the Arlington Christkindle Market with my preschooler. It was a lot of fun, and really got us in the holiday mood! If you live in the DFW metroplex, I highly recommend this unique little market when you want to be put squarely in the holiday mood. Though we visited in the middle of the week, mid-day there were highschool and jr. High kids performing Christmas music, a nice brisk crowd, and more German food than you can shake a potato latke at.
Deelish!
This now annual market, has hours not just during the weekend, and I found parking a breeze. I recommend the hot spiced wine!

That does look delicious!!!!
Omg I hunted for one here and they had one last year in Niagara Falls but I guess it lost a lot if money so they did not do it again,,, so sad !! I loved the idea of pulling the German heritage into our holiday.
That looks so neat! We may have to check it out this week!
We have gone twice this year & love it! Once by ourselves & later with our pups to take pictures with Santa.
The food is AWESOME & we love that it was pup friendly. The weather was wonderful. We can’t wait for next year. Great job Arlington for a awesome family & pup friendly free event.
