This holiday season, two cherished traditions are coming together for the very first time—and it promises to be nothing short of magical. OKM Music is partnering with Wonderland of Lights to bring a European-style Christkindl Market to the beautiful, light-filled grounds of the annual festival. Mark your calendars for November 28–30, 2025, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., and prepare to step into a world where twinkling lights, festive music, and holiday treats create an unforgettable kickoff to the season.
A New Tradition Begins
For decades, Wonderland of Lights has brought joy, nostalgia, and community spirit to visitors of all ages. This year, the experience becomes even richer. With OKM Music’s Christkindl Market joining the celebration, guests will discover a brand-new way to enjoy opening weekend—with artisan vendors, live music, and old-world charm woven seamlessly into the festival’s beloved traditions.
As guests wander through the market, they’ll find high-quality, handcrafted gifts, unique holiday décor, locally made products, and whimsical treasures perfect for stockings and under-the-tree surprises. The atmosphere, inspired by classic European Christmas markets, brings a sense of warmth and wonder to the start of the holiday season.
Festive Food, Music & Holiday Cheer
No Christkindl Market would be complete without mouthwatering seasonal treats. Visitors can enjoy German-inspired foods, warm bites, and holiday comfort favorites while listening to live performances curated by OKM Music. The combination of music, market stalls, and the glow of the season makes for an unforgettable holiday weekend.
All of this unfolds across grounds decorated with more than 750,000 glimmering lights, transforming the area into a sparkling winter wonderland.
Wonderland of Lights Continues All Season
While the Christkindl Market is exclusive to opening weekend, the holiday magic doesn’t end there. Wonderland of Lights continues every Friday–Sunday, 5 p.m.–9 p.m., through December 21st, featuring all the classic favorites guests look forward to each year:
- Wagon Rides through the lights
- Cookies & Hot Cocoa to warm your hands (and heart!)
- Visits with Santa Claus
