5: Tomball German Christmas Market & Festival (Tomball, Texas)

This festival in Texas has something to keep every member of the family wildly entertained. It combines the old German traditional Christmas with the essence of Texas. You can see not one, not two, but five different stages in the various nooks and corners of the festival with live music and dancing. Plus, the kids get to enjoy a petting zoo, hayrides, and even adventurous stuff like climbing walls and bungee jumping. But don’t be alarmed if you’re looking for a hint of old fashioned charm; there is the German market touch at this festival too, with vendors selling gingerbread and freshly cooked bratwurst to satisfy your tastebuds.
