Reflections 🤍✨
After four years of The Christmas Market in The Glen, we’ve learned that growth isn’t always about getting bigger — it’s about getting clearer.
Clear on the vibe we want to protect.
Clear on the experience we want vendors and visitors to have.
Clear on what truly matters.
We’ve learned that:
• Bigger isn’t always better — and that’s okay
• Thoughtful vendor curation makes all the difference
• Load-in will always be a little stressful (but teamwork makes it better 😉)
• Giving back isn’t an “extra” — it’s the heart of everything we do
This market has always been about more than shopping. It’s about community, care, connection, and supporting charities that matter deeply to us.
Thank you to every vendor, sponsor, volunteer, visitor, and supporter who has helped shape what this market has become. You are the reason it feels so special.
Until applications open again on June 1, 2026 —
With so much gratitude,
The Elves 🤍
Krystin, Jenn + Bryan
