Modelled directly on Nuremberg’s Christkindlesmarkt, with a large share of vendors travelling from Germany for the season. The collectable boot-shaped mug changes design every year and is the thing everyone queues for. Daley Plaza is the original site; there are now additional locations in Wrigleyville and Aurora.
