The Silverton Christmas Market has opportunities to take photos with Santa or Frosty, and features live music, local brews in the Biergarten, international food and drink, as well as handmade goods at the authentic German Christmas market. Children will delight in zipping down the snowless tubing hill and walking down the gorgeously festive lighted paths.

Getting something delicious from the sweets booth and meandering around with a steaming cup of hot chocolate is an absolute must. Adults will love the Biergarten and "spiked" beverages like Fireball Cider. My personal favorite is the warm, mulled Gluhwein. German foods take the spotlight here with fare ranging from schnitzel and yummy sauerkraut-topped hot dogs.
