The holidays are upon us and with that comes some of the most iconic of all activities, shopping. While millions head out to big box stores around the US in search of the best deals, millions of others prefer something a bit more festive. Christmas markets date back long ago to Europe.

Close to 1 million people hit this holiday market each year in search of the perfect holiday gifts. In operation since 1994, this market may not be old, but it has quickly become a tradition to New Yorkers.

Considered one of the most “authentic” here in the US, this market is one you can’t miss. A city named after the city where the first Christmas took place, Bethlehem Pennsylvania was named on Christmas Eve in 1741. This market, as steeped in tradition as the city itself, features artisans, glassblowers, food and even a Santa. Over 125 vendors each week over a period of 5 weeks offer up their wares to almost a million people each year.

Georgetown Christmas Market – Georgetown CO
