Minneapolis adds proper European flair to the season with its Christkindl-style market at North Loop Green on weekends.
Expect alpine huts, twinkling lights, glühwein, bratwurst and a line-up of local makers — all in the city’s most fashionable neighbourhood, steps from Target Field Station. Because it’s weekends-only, each opening tends to be lively; plan to arrive early for parking or use light rail. It’s a very usable “real winter” alternative to flying to Europe, especially for Twin Cities families who want festive food plus shopping in one stop.
