If you know us, you know how much we LOVE the Christkindlmarket. It was not a great day for us when we found out that the Christkindlmarket downtown Chicago would not be opening this year due to Covid-19 (if you want to see our post from when we went last year, follow this link:) We saw an ad from Christkindlmarket on Facebook saying we could buy our favorite Christkindlmarket items from the individual stores online. We found one of our favorites, the Sweet Castle, and discovered that they had a pop-up store in Broadview, IL! As soon as we both found out about it, we grabbed our masks and hand sanitizer and headed out to Broadview to check out for ourselves if our favorite items were there. The shop itself is at the dead end of a narrow street and you might think as you are driving down the street that you somehow missed the store. BUT NEVER FEAR! The Sweet Castle is at the end of the street on the right and you cannot miss the traditional German Market set up on the outside of the building (it looks EXACTLY the same as at the actual Christkindlmarket downtown Chicago). We were able to get basically everything that we normally get at the Christkindlmarket (the only things we couldn't get were our apple cinnamon wine and our pretzels, more on the pretzels later)! This is a perfect place to get your Christkindlmarket fix for 2020 since the market was unable to open this year. If you do not want to go in person (which we completely understand!) to the Sweet Castle, you can order online from their website: The location is 2714 S. 9th Ave. Broadview, IL 60155 Their hours are:
