Houston – Live from the Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market — now in its 45th year — “Houston Life” takes you through a festive one-stop shopping experience.
With over 280 vendors (including 30 brand-new makers this season), the aisles are packed with unexpected treasures and holiday cheer.
From handmade ornaments and whimsical home decor to cozy winter accessories and luxe stocking stuffers, every booth feels like a little present waiting to be opened.
And yes — it’s for everyone. We’re shining a light on men-focused vendors too, from a playful bat maker turning tennis balls into novelty conversation pieces to a rugged mercantile offering practical, gift-ready gear for the guys.
The Houston Life crew is on the ground guiding viewers to the best booths, sharing quick shopping tips, and highlighting can’t-miss finds — all with plenty of laughs and holiday spirit.
This is a significant year for the market’s fundraising efforts.
Organizers say it could push support for the Houston Ballet toward the $100 million mark. That makes every purchase feel extra meaningful.
To help you find your favorite booth or the perfect gift for a loved one, download their new app.
