Vine Christmas Market

Have you ever seen a program about the Christmas Markets in Germany, Austria or Switzerland in a travel show? Did you want to surround yourself with the sights and sounds of the foreign Markets? You can have the experience close to home. The Vine Congregational United Church of Christ in Lincoln will host the traditional Christmas Market on December 6th and 7th inside the Church Social Hall and premises. This event is more than a craft fair—it is two days of fun, festivities and fellowship celebrating the spirit of Christmas!

Vendors will offer unique handcrafted wares and gifts in a charming Old World Christmas Market atmosphere. A vast array of inviting items will be displayed in inviting colorful booths with their twinkling light décor.

Shoppers will find wooden toys, home décor, ornaments, local honey, fiber arts, holiday greens and arrangements —and more!

A visitor’s favorite is the sweet shoppe and bakery where the church offers a variety of homemade candy and baked goods including German Christmas Stollen. Delicious food items are available for purchase in the Café area which include seasonal soups and freshly baked apple dumplings that you can enjoy right there. The Marketplace will be filled with all the wonderful aroma of the baked goods and ready to be purchased items.

Musical performances will entertain visitors throughout both days plus there will be a special children’s area to keep the little guests entertained.

Christmas Market hours on Friday are 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. Vine Congregational UCC is located at 1800 Twin Ridge Road in Lincoln. Parking is also free.
