December is a great time to visit Chicago, mostly for the holiday shopping and renowned restaurants. Travellers can check out a new pop-up store by cosmetics brand Winky Lux to get any last-minute gifts for their beauty-obsessed friend. Stop by Fisk & Co. for Instagram-worthy holiday cocktails such as spiked eggnog and Glühwein, a traditional warm German wine. Visitors who really want to get in the holiday spirit should book Swissôtel's Santa suite package, which is equipped with cookies and milk, Champagne, holiday treats, and more.
