Texas Christkindl Market

If you can find a way to visit during the week, maybe earlier in the day, you can likely avoid a big crowd or long lines. It's really cute here, okay, super Christmassy and festive, and it's in a fun spot right outside Globe Life. Buuuuut you know, there aren't a ton of shops, it's actually pretty limited, and it's all really pricey. You'll find stuffed animals (like a build-a-bear type set-up), jewelry, crafty stuff, hot chocolate, a little bar, a handful of street food items, candy and sweets, and the main German store. It's cute and all, just don't kill yourself to get there!

Fun Holiday Event for the whole family. This is a special treat for everyone. Definitely worth checking out for the weekend.

The market feel and overall experience felt genuine, but it was far too small and it could have used some fake snow or something to make it feel more wintery.Disappointed, they need to step up their game.

Went here today & spent maybe 30-45 minutes there? It was a cute place but I was hyped up by pictures I saw online. I knew it was limited when I looked at the vendor list but didn't expect it to be that small.They have "snow" (bubbles) that falls every so often so that was pretty neat. It's outside so wear appropriate clothes, the snow isn't messy though, so don't worry about that.I will say, support these small shops that are there... all of them were so incredibly nice! We got some ornaments from The Santa Clause Workshop that they put our names on, some for to gift for my brother's dog as well. :) The main vendor seemed to be Käthe Wohlfahrt, with their handmade ornaments. Also got some hot cocoa, we were surprised & happy at how hot it was! Looks like they also have a marionette show, arts & crafts, & there's also a Santa. We came in Sunday, it actually wasn't that busy but that was fine with us. Ample parking! I hope there are more opportunities, cute concept... maybe it's an off year but there is potential. I'd say stop by if you're in the area, it's free to go in, but don't plan on making a day out of it.

I'm giving it 3 stars because both the parking and the market entrance is free. Free entertainment also makes it a nice afternoon. However; there is a lack of vendors but it's growing each year. The German food vendor was a -1 in quality and taste. Absolutely, disgusting. I'd go back but skip the food.

I have come in years past they USUALLY have lots of vendors, Santa, German beer, crêpes, etc. We went this year and they had none of that!!! We spent like 5 min here. They had a handful of vendors and limited food options. Very disappointed! Thank goodness we didn't have to pay to park!!

We were disappointed it was Much much smaller than I expected. We went Saturday afternoon and the wait outside to get in the German store was about 45 minutes and it was packed inside too. I'd say skip it and look up the German store online and you can buy something that way instead.

Difficult to find. Directly in front of main entrance to Texas live. 7 booths. 2 Kathe Wohlfart Christmas decorations. 1 bread pudding. 3 jewelry/artsy stuff. 1 bakery with pretzels & strudel. 15 minutes and you're done. Not worth it unless you have to have some expensive German knickknack. You'll enjoy Aldi's Christmas selections more.

I was so excited from past pictures prior to joining Enchant, but was so let down when I arrived. They might as well not have it outside in the " free area ". It's almost offensive how greedy it shows the event organizers are.I've captured the entire market in my picture of 6 booths. It's free as advertised! But deceiving since the vast majority are inside Enchant. I just don't understand how money hungry the organizers are to ruin German Christmas market spirit. I want to enjoy German culture and Christmas but not at $30 a person just to walk through the door. I am actually really curious and hope the organizers and the vendors can respond with how much money they are making now with Enchant than on their own in 2016.I cannot imagine how many angry people are willing to spend money on those poor 6 booths in front of Texas Live venue. I've been to German Christmas markets and this truly brings shame and spoils the spirit.

Quite a little market. Need more vendors and activities. Most trinkets from China and very expensive. Could learn from other locations like Chicago.
