My favorite visit to Chicago was at Christmas. The temperature was in the 40's and my son took me to so many things that you listed. Loved the zoo lights & Wrigleyville. And the tree was beautiful.

A great thing to do (2 in one outing) is go shopping at Marshall Fields. You can see the display windows, check out all their holiday decorations, and maybe do some Christmas shopping. PLUS you can go up to the Walnut Room and see their Christmas tree. If the wait isn’t too long you can also get lunch or dinner under the tree too!

Ugh I’m from Chicago but I moved down south and your videos make me so homesick! In a good way though. I miss Chicago especially during Christmas season 🤩🥰

We went to a candle light show in October for a halloween themed show in oak park, it was so fun!

My husband and I live in rural PA and we're planning a quick weekend trip to Chicago maybe next month. I'm excited to see all the city has to offer. we're thinking of moving there.

ooh this is just in time, i’m going to chicago in December for a week! now i just need a list on what type of boots to take with me lol

Good morning Caira happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

Alex your photo is beautiful!! And Lulu is ADORABLE!!! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for the video, Caira. We enjoyed our long weekend in Chicago by taking your advice. People who think to buy a drive-in theater ticket, please pay attention to the address of the movie theater after your Google search. I bought it before I checked. I thought how far it could be. I was wrong :) It was 2 HOURS away: Harvest Moon Twin Drive-In Theatre. And they don't refund :)

I want to go to the Ballet!! Thank you for the most beautiful treat Cai

Reminder that you have to buy Zoo Lights tickets ahead of time! Even though it’s a donation they sell out!

Love the Christkindlmarket! The raclette cheese sold there is notorious for being some of the stinkiest cheese haha

Thank you!!! so helpful and exciting :)

I wanna goooooooo! All that!🎄

Number 2 was my favorite! The views and the finishes did not for me. Great video Caira! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Solid list Cai.. I hope you make some first hand videos of at least a couple of these, just to properly show their holiday aesthetics and atmosphere. Kringle Market is a classic for sure. Yes, the crowds can be a little 'thick' BUT it's a happy spirited chill vibe, rather than a mob of people falling and respawning over each other trying to get their hands on some immortal holiday product! 😱😅👏 Also, the decorated bars definitely sound like a fun video for you and Alex... or even a small group of friends. I'd bring a board game, unless any of them have a trivia night. That sounds like a lot of fun!! And since you put yourself out there... I'm gonna have to throw ICE SKATING into the mix. 😄🙃🤍 lol yes but don't worry girl, we'll be cheering you on! This is what's soo amazing about Chicago... there's a plethora of holiday activities literally at every corner. And most importantly, it's happening in one of the most idyllic winter city landscapes in the world. Heck, even little Lou can have his own winter wonderland video playing in a snow covered park with all the other cute furballs. 🤍 Let's Carpè diem all the Chi town holiday fun!🎄☺️👏 It's good for the soul!!

Has it snowed there? Coming this weekend and trying to prepare

Your puppy is cute

My boyfriend and I have planned a trip to Chicago for Christmas and everyone I work with is telling me that it’s an extremely dangerous place to go. Should I be worried?

The train has been cancelled this year, btw.

Christkindlmarket ☺

It’s chriskindlemarket not the way you spelled it
