Christkindlmarket: The boot mugs are back! From Nov. 22-Dec. 24, the annual German market returns to Daley Plaza and Aurora’s RiverEdge Park.

Trees: Visit the official Chicago Christmas Tree (Nov. 22-Jan. 8) in Millennium Park. This year’s tree is a 53-foot Colorado blue spruce from Logan Square; a tree-lighting ceremony is set for Nov. 22. Inside the Walnut Room at Macy’s on State Street you’ll find the Great Tree, a 45-foot tree that hangs from the ceiling (Nov. 2-Jan. 12). No worries if you can’t get a Walnut Room reservation; there’s a selfie spot outside the restaurant with a view of the tree.
