One of the must-visit attractions during the Christmas season in Arlington returns with the 14th Annual Texas Christkindl Market. This traditional European-style market brings the festive charm of German Christmas markets right to the heart of Texas. Visitors can stroll through a dazzling world of twinkling lights, captivating decorations, and mouthwatering holiday aromas. With unique handcrafted gifts, exclusive collectibles, and a variety of delicious treats, this market offers joy and festive experiences for every member of the family.

The Texas Christkindl Market was inspired by the almost 70-year sister-city relationship between Arlington and Bad Königshofen, Germany, and first came to life in 2011. This beloved event partners with the Christmas city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany, to bring the magical essence of Bavarian tradition and holiday cheer to Texas. Shoppers and guests will find specialty handcrafted items, including exclusive Käthe Wohlfahrt merchandise and collectibles from the iconic Rothenburg ob der Tauber Christmas Village.

Hosted by the Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Texas Christkindl Market is located on the North Plaza of Globe Life Field in Arlington. The Market is open daily from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, with dates spanning November 22–24 and November 29 through December 23, 2024. The Grand Opening and Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place at 6:30 PM on November 29. Admission is free.
