You will find a blend of traditional German foods and gifts being sold from small wooden huts, and the market surrounds a beautiful outdoor ice skating.

This market is one of the most popular markets in the United States, attracting well over half a million people since its opening in 2017. It was voted Best Holiday Market in 2019, 2021, and 2022 by USA Today. In addition, Wealth of Geeks voted Carmel Christkindlmarkt as the #8 best Market in the WORLD!
