The Baltimore Christmas Village is always a ton of fun – I’m so glad I visited again this year! Their team was kind enough to give me and @urnovafoodie a tour, and we had an absolute blast. If you guys haven’t gone yet, definitely make sure to check them out. There are SO many amazing vendors there, and the food’s seriously fantastic. Here are 5 must try eats/drinks if you guys go:
1. Italian Prosciutto Raclette Sandwich ($16): SO good. I will never NOT get raclette if I see it. This is a def must when you go, but some people don’t like the smell of it. It’s pungent for sure, but it’s really yummy IMO! It’s slightly sweet and nutty + so good with the prosciutto & other toppings.
2. White Russian Dream ($15): freshly brewed coffee with Kahlua and vodka, topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. They have a bunch of cold + hot cocktails to choose from so make sure you stop by! I liked my bevy overall – I’m a sucker for coffee drinks, and I liked that this wasn’t overly sweet.
3. Hot Chocolate DELUXE with whipped cream and marshmallows ($10): there’s nothing better than hot chocolate on a cold day! Pricing varies depending on the cup you get – the boot mug is a bit more expensive, but both cups are must haves IMO, lol. They’re so cute! Refills are also available for purchase as well if you want to some.
4. JDs House Of Bacon ($6): WOW this was good. This was my first time trying his bacon skewers, and they were next level. I can see why they’re so hyped up. I got vanilla bourbon, but he has 5 other flavors available as well + hot sauces for sale so make sure you pay him a visit at his stall.
5. Deddle’s Apple Cider Mini Donuts: this was RIDICULOUSLY yum! Some of you have recommended Deddle’s to me, and now I see why. I was blown away by these donuts, and I can’t wait to visit them at Lexington Market. These apple cider donuts were unbelievable – so light and so fluffy. You gotta try these made-to-order noms. You can thank me later.
These were my favorite bites at the Baltimore Christmas Village, but there was SO much more to enjoy. They also offer corn on the cob, various sausages, schnitzel and tons more. They’re going to be open till December 24th, and their hours are Sun-Th 12-8pm & Fr & Sa 12-9pm, closed Mondays and Tuesdays (except 12/23 and 12/24). As for directions, they’re located at the Inner Harbor – the village is huge so you won’t be able to miss it!
While you’re in the Inner Harbor neighborhood, the Titanic: An Immersive Voyage exhibit is worth a look too, especially if you’re making a full day of it. If you want to build a complete night out in the city year-round, Everyman Theatre in the Bromo Arts District is Baltimore’s professional live theatre and a genuinely special way to spend an evening in Charm City.
