It’s Christmas time in the Big Apple, which means shops are packed, sleigh bells ring from Central Park carriages, and inhabitants range from Santa to Scrooge.

With the holiday just around the corner, here are New York City’s 5 best Christmas markets:

Union Square Holiday Market

The annual Holiday Market from EventSpace has once againunion-square-holiday-market invaded New York City’s Union Square. Started in 1994 by British-born Eric Reynolds, these chic boutiques & food vendors average around 150 and draw in over 1 million visitors from the U.S. and abroad each year.

Union Square Holiday Market (South Union Square Park, centered between 5th Avenue and Broadway) concludes on December 24th and runs weekdays from 11 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 8 PM, and Sunday 11 AM to 7 PM.

Artist & Fleas – Chelsea Market

Located in a pop-up shop across the East River, Brooklyn’s Artist & Flea artist-fleas-chelsea-marketmarket invites travellers and residents to Chelsea Market. With over 30 independent vendors, the market promises a new experience in alternative retail – as it has for the past 10 years in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Specialized items include jewelry, art, design, home décor and vintage clothing.

Artist & Fleas (Chelsea Market on 75 Ninth Ave/88 Tenth Ave) runs 10 AM – 7 PM daily.

Columbus Circle Holiday Market

Columbus Circle’s Holiday Market is another creation by UrbanSpace.Columbus-Circle-Holiday-Market As the counterpart to the Union Square market, Columbus Circle carries similar items – the best creative artistry out of Brooklyn, a delicious array of international and domestic eats, and one-of-a-kind vintage and chic clothing. Unlike the sister market, though, the Columbus Circle Holiday Market is buffered by the majestic Central Park.

Columbus Circle Holiday Market (Central Park West at Central Park South) runs Monday – Saturday 10AM – 8PM and Sunday 10AM – 7PM.

Bryant Park Winter Village

Attendees visiting the Winter Village at Bryant Park fountain-shops1 emcan expect more than simply shopping. The outdoor market, which has been functioning for 13 years and houses more than 125 shops, also provides an ice-skating rink. Though outside, vendors host their items in glasshouses, which are always a bit foggy due to the popularity of Winter Village. 

Bryant Park Winter Village (42nd Street between 5th and 6th Ave) is open Weekdays from 11AM – 8PM, Saturday 10AM – 9PM, and Sunday 10AM – 6PM.

Grand Central Holiday Fair

Located in the monumental Vanderbilt Hall, Grand Central Station brings a unique blend to the Holiday Market scene.GrandCentralHolidayFair_V2_460x285 In its 13th year – and the Terminal’s 100th – this warm and cozy indoor market is the only holiday market out from the cold. With over 70 vendors, and the Holiday Train featured at the Transit Museum, the Holiday Fair overstuffs visitors with festive fun and décor. Shoppers can find anything from pet clothing to book illustration and crystal jewelry.

Grand Central Holiday Fair (89 E 42nd Street) is open Monday – Saturday 10AM – 8PM and Sunday 11AM – 7PM.
