Atlantic Station's Central Park has been transformed into a German holiday marketplace this month, just in time for shoppers searching for unique gift ideas.

The German Christkindl Market in Central Park is presented by the German American Cultural Foundation, and runs through December 24.  The open-air village is inspired by the European holiday villages which date back to the 1600s, and features vendors selling handmade goods and treats. 

Aside from the Christkindl Market, Atlantic Station is offering a full list of holiday activities, including live "snowfalls" each evening, the 10,000 square-foot Skate Atlantic Station ice-skating rink, and Snowball Express, a holiday-themed train ride.  Oh, and did we mention Santa Claus will be spending some time at Atlantic Station before loading up his sleigh and heading around the world?
