The Holiday Scoop!
Morgan and I have been busy these past few weeks racking up a list of places for you to put on your 2016 Holiday bucket list!
Places to go and desserts to eat! What better time than the holiday season to say bye-bye to that diet and indulge in all of the goodies the holidays bring?
We all are going to start our 2017 DIETS on Jan 2, 2017 so might as well Treat-Yo-Self now, right?
RIGHT!
Right on Broads, that's the SPIRIT!
THE HOLIDAY SCOOP!
What makes this time of the year the MOST WONDERFUL TIME is that Philadelphia is home to not one, but TWO Festive Markets to get you in the holiday spirit!
This year, if you didn't already know the Christmas Village has moved to City Hall, which is also home to the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market. SO in the long run it makes it easier for all of us since both markets are at City Hall!
Visit Santa, ride the carousel, find the perfect Christmas Tree, catch a performance, make a wish on the wish wall, see the tree, and have some fun this holiday season!
With this much Holiday Spirit in one place you are sure to get a HOLIDAY OVERLOAD!
Don't Panic! Morgan and I made it our duty to taste test and window shop so we can tell you exactly where you need to go before time runs out!
Modeled off of the original Christmas Shops in Germany, The Philadelphia Christmas Village will allow you to step into a magical world of Wonder and Awe. The Village will run from 11/24/16- 12/24/16 (Christmas Eve).
Vendors from all over gather to bring Philadelphians a unique experience. From the food consisting of savory German treats like Bratwurst, pretzels and mulled wine to sweets like hot chocolate, donuts, and waffles! Yes, Waffles! Did I mention the shopping! Well these shops are ready to help you find that perfect one of a kind holiday gift. From jewelry to ornaments to handmade crafts to photographs. You name it, there is something special for everyone!
