BIER GARTEN

As  you wander through the streets of Kristkindl Village, you will be tempted by the delicious aroma of the tasty food we serve in the food line. Grab a delicious meal and head into our own Bier Garten. Fashioned like an authentic German Bier Garten, our social hall is transformed with decor and live entertainment that will play your favorite holiday carols and polkas to whisk you into a true German holiday mood. We offer German style beer and Gluhvein (Mulled Spiced Wine) to go with your meal. Sit back and enjoy the food and atmosphere.  If you feel like dancing, there's a space up front near the stage to show your polka skills!

GINGERBREAD HOUSE DECORATING

(ALL proceeds go to Operation Breakthrough)

One of the most popular parts of Kristkindl Markt is the Gingerbread House Decorating Room. Here children of all ages are supplied with the house frames, candy, and frosting to decorate an actually assembled Gingerbread House! You supply your imagination to create a masterpiece (or just nibble on a few candies- we don’t judge)! There is no time or imagination limit to create some awesome houses made at Kristkindl Markt. It’s free to join in the fun, but if please consider making a donation, all proceeds go to KC’s Operation Breakthrough, helping to make the holiday season magical for all children!

BÄKEREI (BAKERY)

At the Bäkerei, we sell our famous "cookies by the pound." Select your own assortment of cookies from our vast selection of authentic, homemade, made from scratch cookies. We'll weigh them and you may purchase the amount in quarters of a pound increments. We also have other sweet treats that may be purchased in this room. You can't go wrong on anything on the table you point your finger at. Our biggest competition are the Girl Scouts and their cookies aren't made from scratch!
