The wild holiday garb shoppers wore to the Nutcracker Market

The Houston Ballet’s Nutcracker Market kicked off today, celebrating their 40th anniversary after going virtual last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shoppers from all around were excited to explore the nearly 150 merchant stalls, while showcasing their holiday spirit.

Some shoppers expressed their excitement by wearing creative and wild holiday hats, sweaters, beanies and sunglasses. For many guests,attending the Nutcracker Market in-person was a way to tap into and spread holiday joy.
