European-Style Holiday Market: Inspired by traditional European Christmas markets, Snowport’s Holiday Market features over 100 local vendors and artisans. You’ll find unique gifts, handcrafted goods, and delicious seasonal treats, perfect for holiday shopping and supporting local businesses.

Interactive Experiences: Snowport offers activities like curling lanes, holiday-themed games, and live music to keep visitors entertained. Last year, the introduction of “Bumper Cars on Ice” added extra fun to the lineup. Dev and Henry curled last year and it was “really fun!”

Also, in the Seaport Area are two of Dev’s favorite stores... L.L. Bean and Stio:

Stio

The Seaport's Stio Store, a beloved brand from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, specializes in high-quality outdoor apparel. Known for its stylish yet durable clothing, Stio’s Seaport location provides both functionality and fashion, catering especially to New Englanders' love for the outdoors. Their Seaport shop offers gear suitable for cold-weather adventures and urban settings alike, with a focus on sustainability and thoughtful design.

L.L. Bean

We all know L.L. Bean with their clothes that are good to last season after season. They have a terrific return policy and everything is well made. They have been in business over 100 years! LL Bean has become synonymous with the great outdoors. Every year when we get their winter catalog, we brew up some hot chocolate and skim the pages of this iconic catalog. Now that’s what we call cozy!

Sargenti Architecture

Snowport’s blend of winter activities, shopping, food, and holiday spirit makes it one of the most festive and popular seasonal spots in Boston! The Holiday Market isn’t just for shopping, though. If you’re looking for photo ops, swing by the 10-foot Mistletoe Archway, the oversized gifts at Presents Place, and the Winter Wish Wall, a 25-foot chalkboard where visitors write down their holiday wishes.
