Christkindlmarkt - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

A R.

Tickets were pricey. Then items inside were pricey, but very beautiful to look at. This is a whole experience and not just to shop, so I can’t go lower on my rating based on price. There are food trucks and vendors everywhere. Of course on a weekend it’s quite busy. We had 1:30 ice skating session tickets (another extra fee) and the girls were friendly and helpful. My kids needed guides for the skating, more fees. We also saw Santa. Santa is done by Dan’s and worth every penny. My kids saw the very same Santa when they were infants.

Overall come with a few hundred dollars if you plan to spend a few hours here.

Bethlehem is the Christmas city indeed I came here on a bus trip I really liked the ice carvers the carve statues out of solid ice with a chainsaw. There are tons of arts and crafts and homemade things to look at and buy. I highly recommend to also check out the Bethlehem Steel Company Stacks which is really an outdoor museum.

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Christkindlmarkt in Bethlehem, PA, a little while back and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, I was transported into a winter wonderland. The event is beautifully set up with twinkling lights, charming wooden stalls, and an atmosphere that truly captures the spirit of the holiday season.

The market itself is filled with a wonderful variety of handmade gifts, delicious treats, and festive crafts. I loved browsing the unique artisan booths, where I found everything from beautiful ornaments and cozy scarves to hand-crafted jewelry and candles. It’s the perfect place to pick up special, one-of-a-kind gifts for loved ones

Based on previous reviews, my expectations were low. BUT I was wonderfully surprised! My wife and I had a great time! Unique gifts, fair prices and fun food choices were the spot on way for us to kick off the holiday week! I recommend it!

This has been the biggest and most wonderful Christmas market that I have ever been to. There is a small discount if tickets are booked earlier online. The 4 large tents had everything that one would look for. The Kathe Wohlfahrt collection was absolutely wonderful. The food tent was decorated beautifully and had plenty of seating, but sadly the queues were too long. We opted for getting food from one of the food trucks that were set up. Quite a few igloos and fires had been set up to keep warm. There were ice sculpting demonstrations.

My family and I have been coming here since I was a kid! It is fantastic. I love the different booths and the general atmosphere. Is it crowded? Yes, very. But it is part of the bustling market experience. The food is pretty good too, if a little expensive. My only complaint is the cost to get in. It’s a bit costly, especially since you are there to buy things. But its definitely worth it if you are looking for a different Christmas shopping experience!

I love steelstacks I think its an amazing piece of history. But..... Paid 15. to go into the mart to shop and spend money. Listen I get they gotta pay the bills but thats the first and last time I pay to shop! The shops were interesting, a little over priced but that was expected. Got hungry and paid 11. for a grilled cheese sandwich. If your looking to buy a speciality item then this is a good place. I will visit steelstacks again just not the mart.

Great place for handcrafted gifts. It was quite lovely and it's on the grounds of an old steel work factory which is creepy and cool at the same time.
