Boston's Winter Wonderland: A Fresh Look at Snowport 2025

Boston's beloved winter market, Snowport, is back for another season, bringing a mix of old favorites and exciting new additions. This year, the market kicks off on November 7 and runs through February 28, 2026, offering a variety of vendors, activities, and events to enjoy. One of the standout features of Snowport 2025 is the expanded food scene. Visitors can look forward to six new food concepts, including French pastries, wellness coffee, Japanese bento boxes, Neapolitan pizza, and duck fat fries. Additionally, there will be several holiday-themed bars to warm up with a festive drink. The Snowport Holiday Market will also showcase over 130 local businesses, with a majority being minority and/or female-founded. New businesses this year include Citizens Crochet, Creation Jute USA, and Starboard and Co. , offering a range of products from handmade crochet kits to Fair Trade sourced baskets and home decor items. In addition to shopping and dining, Snowport 2025 will feature several new and returning experiences. Visitors can enjoy the Winter Wish Wall, The Warming Tent, The Stage, The Crafting Corner, and Presents Place. There will also be free iceless curling lessons, a ski-themed retail village, and a massive new sports venue with an ice skating rink. For those looking to celebrate the holidays, Snowport has plenty of events planned. The annual tree-lighting ceremony will feature a 52-foot-tall tree with over 10, 000 lights, musical performances, and a meet-and-greet with Betty the Yeti. There will also be a Menorah Lighting celebration, a Holiday Stroll, and a New Year's Eve Ice Sculpture Stroll. Visitors can reserve a timed entry into the holiday market on the weekends through the Seaport Insider app. A portion of ticket proceeds will support Boston XChange, a non-profit organization geared toward supporting and empowering underinvested creators. The market will be open daily, with extended peak hours starting after December 8.
