December 2023 events in Boston

Shop local for your holiday gift simplicities or splurges at some of Boston's best holiday markets. These spots are not only decked out in holiday splendor (hello hot cocoa and twinkle lights), but you’ll leave knowing you supported small businesses by buying gifts that stand out from everything else under the tree. 

And then afterwards stroll around town and check out the best lights and Christmas trees for some more festive cheer. 

After being purchased by Bindaas Restaurant Group in June 2023 and hosting its last service on October 1, the beloved Rosebud Kitchen & Bar is finally reopening on December 1, with both a new concept and some old favorites.
