Arlington Welcomes the 15th Annual Texas Christkindl Market

ARLINGTON, Texas (Sept. 22, 2025) – The spirit of the holidays returns to North Texas as the Texas Christkindl Market celebrates its 15th anniversary in Arlington, Nov. 21-23 and Nov. 28-Dec. 23. The market will operate from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. daily.

The Texas Christkindl Market is inspired by the city’s more than 74-year relationship with its German sister city Bad Königshofen, along with Arlington’s friendship city, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, home of the famous Reiterlesmarkt German Christmas market.

The Texas Christkindl Market is a traditional German-style market bringing Old World charm and holiday magic to the heart of Texas. Visitors will find handcrafted gifts, unique collectibles, and exclusive Käthe Wohlfahrt merchandise from the Rothenburg ob der Tauber German Christmas village. The market features a variety of vendors, seasonal food and beverages, live entertainment and children’s activities, including photos with Santa.

The Texas Christkindl Market takes place on the North Plaza of Globe Life Field, offering free admission. Complimentary parking is available in Texas Rangers’ Lot B next to the market on days where events are not being held at Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium.

“Arlington is honored to host the Texas Christkindl Market in our community for a 15th holiday season, where it has become a cherished tradition for families across Texas and neighboring states,” said Henry Lewczyk, longtime manager of the Texas Christkindl Market. “The market, consistently ranked in the top five holiday markets in the country, offers something for everyone: holiday shopping, authentic flavors, live music and plenty of festive spirit.”
