“Winter Wonderland”<\/a> expansion has made its debut. It\u2019s where visitors can follow the dazzling lights to meet the main man of the season.<\/p>\n\u201cThis is the most wonderful time of the year and this is the best way to get all of the holiday spirit and get into the full aspect of the season,\u201d said St. Nick at Christkindlmarkt.<\/p>\n
Another addition this year includes more food and drinks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new stand behind us, “Warmen Haus.” It\u2019s part of this year\u2019s expansion, it\u2019s hot drinks and German treats,\u201d explained Emily Kocis, the IT Director and Juried Exhibitors & Beverage Operations at ArtsQuest.<\/p>\n
German treats that Karl Ehmer owner Leo Osanitsch knows a thing or two about, providing a to-go charcuterie of all the fixins.<\/p>\n
He says this season is extra special as he\u2019s retiring his shop this month and traditions like Christkindlmarkt is what makes them priceless.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you get older, you realize just getting together with family is most important,\u201d said Osantisch.<\/p>\n
