Winterland at Wrigley Field & Christkindlmarket
Celebrate new and old Chicago holiday traditions. At Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, step onto the field and see the stadium like you never have before. Decorated spectacularly for Christmas with an ice skating rink, decorated Christmas trees and other breathtaking holiday scenes, it’s a sight to behold! Just outside the park, shop for holiday crafts and gifts at Christkindlmarket Wrigleyville, an enchanting and inviting holiday village. Our tour begins in the afternoon with a tradition going back 115 years as we visit the former Marshall Field’s State Street store, now under the Macy’s brand. Here you have free time to shop and see the store’s traditional and memorable Christmas displays including the famous Great Tree in the Walnut Room. Step outside to take in the splendor of the always popular holiday window displays. For lunch it’s a Ho Ho Holy Cow Christmas at Harry Caray’s flagship restaurant in Chicago’s River North.

Illumination & White Fence Farm
This great holiday tour starts with a late afternoon departure as we are off to dinner at the landmark White Fence Farm Restaurant and its proclaimed "World's Greatest Chicken.” Beautifully decorated for the holidays, the restaurant has served travelers on historic U.S. Route 66 since 1926. The famous chicken is pressure cooked thoroughly before being flash-fried for only three minutes and delivered immediately to your table, along with the restaurant’s famous relishes, corn fritters and mashed potatoes and gravy. A special holiday treat follows at Morton Arboretum’s “Illumination: Tree Lights at the Arboretum." Illumination is a spectacular holiday lights display using amazing new technology. Walk along a paved path to see the trees glowing with dazzling LED lights. You will not only see them, but interact with them as well: You can hug a tree to make it glow brighter, sing to a tree and watch it change color and swipe your hand to make it do both. It’s a new experience at every turn! Enjoy a cozy fire and some hot chocolate and stop in at the Visitor’s Center to see other themed displays. Illumination is becoming a true yuletide tradition. (Illumination requires walking along a relatively level outdoor pathway about ¾ to 1 mile in length.)
