We can't think of a better way to start your holiday season! Chicago's Christkindlmarket offers shopping at unique vendors, hot chocolate, yummy food, and plenty of festive cheer!

If you're looking for some good eats while staying in Chicago, head to Chinatown! Some of Alicia and Karli's personal favorite spots include MCCB Chicago, Triple Crown Restaurant, Rotary Sushi, and Nine Bar!

Sticking with the winter theme? Enjoy ice-skating at Millennium Park!

We would be remiss not to mention the famous Shedd Aquarium! This is the place to be if you enjoy the aquatic animal world!
