We just told y’all about the 12 Days of Christmas display in the Dallas Arboretum, but there’s also an adorable European holiday market. Shopkeepers will be posted outside each building, offering samples of their wares including baked goods, candy, hand-carved pencils, and jingle bells.
This year, the Pauline and Austin Neuhoff Christmas Village is the arboretum’s newest addition to its annual holiday festivities. On display through the end of December, this adorable collection of shops has been inspired by traditional German Christmas markets or Christkindlmarkets.
