Enjoy their hot apple cider or hot non-alcoholic Gluehwein – the official German winter drink with Christmas spices. They also will have newly designed gift tins filled with the finest gingerbread from Nuremberg in Bavaria, German chocolate, chocolate-filled Advent Calendars, organic Spekulatius cookies, cinnamon stars, and many other specialties. If you are looking for some special Christmas decorations, have a look at their variety of traditional wooden handcrafts from Germany, including decorative rotating pyramids carved from wood and powered by candle light and illuminated wooden nativity scenes. The Union Square Holiday Market is a New York institution, and attracts more than one million visitors from the United States and abroad each year.

The market is located in Union Square Park, bordered by Park Avenue South, Broadway and 14th Street.
