In a Nutshell

Annual holiday expo enters its 20th year with handcrafted goods from national artisans, traditional Christmas music, and a visit by St. Nick

The Fine Print

The holidays bring all sorts of dilemmas, such as what to get the person who likes nothing and when to begin blocking off the chimney. Solve one of these problems with this Groupon to Christkindlmarkt Bethlehem, presented by ArtsQuest at the PNC Plaza. Children aged 12 and younger are regularly admitted for free. Choose between the following options:

  • For $8, you get two holiday-market day passes (up to a $16 value).

  • For $15, you get four holiday-market day passes (up to a $32 value).

The above day passes are valid from Thursday, November 15, to Sunday, November 18.

The arts-and-culture nonprofit group ArtsQuest brightens holiday hearts with one-stop shopping during the 20th season of Christkindlmarkt. An event that “shows why Bethlehem calls itself Christmas City U.S.A.,” according to a 2003 Travel + Leisure review, the annual festivity is held throughout six weeks in two large heated tents filled with aisles near to toppling with artisanal products from more than 125 vendors each week. Relish in the craftspersonship of fine handmade goods such as exotic handcrafted silver and macramé jewelry from Rumi Sumaq; gourmet avian domiciles from Incredible Edible Birdhouses, which feature a coating of seven types of birdseed and a highly exclusive reservation policy; and nostril-pleasing paraffin-wax candles by Little House Candles. While perusing wooden Santas or picking out a live Christmas tree from Hidden Pines Farms, guests can nosh on delicious German and Austrian snacks such as bratwurst and strudel or soak up the aroma of German roasted almonds.

After perusing the panoply of wares, visitors can test lungs’ artistic ability at the glassblowing booth, where skilled artists show guests the molten silicon ropes while creating beautiful ornaments. The LVPA string ensemble will treat ears to traditional tunes, and Saint Nicholas will be on hand to meet and greet little ones, take holiday-gift requests, and regale them with magical stories of flying reindeer from a snowy land that few have ever seen: Canada. Free parking is available in the lot across the street from PNC Plaza.

ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks

ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks hosts film and performing arts venues on four stories overlooking the dramatically illuminated blast furnaces of the former Bethlehem Steel Plant. On the first floor, the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinema projects independent, foreign, and documentary films on two full-size screens with 100 and 200 stadium-style seats. A full-service bar pours local Yuengling brews and other alcoholic beverages, and onsite chefs craft gourmet eats such as ham-and-brie paninis and beef sliders. Musical acts such as the Psychedelic Furs, Joan Osborne, and Rusted Root perform each weekend at Musikfest Café, where up to 1,000 concertgoers can spread across multiple levels of seating, or form a human pyramid to climb the exposed girders above the stage.

The Groupon Guide to: the Flip Side

Many people just assume that everything they read is true without ever looking at the counter argument. Take a look at the flip side of some of these “universal truths”:

Universal Truth: Lying is bad.
The Flip Side: What about lying to save someone’s life? If your child wants to leave the house, but you know that the world is a place full of danger, is it wrong to lie and say there’s nothing out there?

Universal Truth: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The Flip Side: Do nothing unto others. You don’t know where others have been. Others could have been playing in the toilet.

Universal Truth: The earth orbits the sun.
The Flip Side: Our planet is just a big rubber ball that a giant baby is playing with, and the sun is a night-light in the baby’s bedroom. Other planets are the baby’s other toys. Gravity is the baby’s hands.

Universal Truth: Don’t bring electronics with you into the bathtub.
The Flip Side: What if your phone is in a plastic bag? Would it still electrocute you? Would it?

What should we do unto others?
