✨Did you know?? Right here in Berne, Indiana, you can find the only Canton Tree in the United States! Standing 32 feet tall in The Muensterberg Plaza and Clock Tower, the tree proudly displays the crests of the Swiss cantons, the U.S., Switzerland, Indiana, Berne, and our sister city, Trachselwald.

The Canton Tree is more than just a monument—it’s a symbol of Berne’s deep Swiss roots and the heritage that continues to be celebrated each year.

🎄Be sure to stop by and see this one-of-a-kind landmark while visiting the Berne Christkindlmarkt this holiday season! 🎄

✏️📚 Happy Back-to-school!

In Germany, kids starting school are welcomed with a special surprise — the Schultüte (school cone)!

These brightly decorated cones are filled with school supplies, treats, and small gifts, making the first day of school extra exciting. The tradition helps turn nerves into smiles as little ones begin their school journey.

If your family had a Schultüte, what would you put inside? Or maybe you already have a fun first-day tradition of your own — we’d love to hear about it! 💬

🧸 DID YOU KNOW?
Both Berne, Indiana and Bern, Switzerland are known for their bears!
Bern, Switzerland’s name comes from the word Bär (German for bear), and Berne, Indiana proudly features a bear on its city seal too! 💛

📸 And just across the street from the Berne Christkindlmarkt, you’ll find the charming Münsterberg Plaza and Clocktower—complete with a statue of a bear! It’s the perfect photo op when visiting.

📬🎅 A Swiss Tradition Brought to Life! 🎄✨

In Switzerland, it’s a beloved tradition for children to write heartfelt letters to Santa Claus—or as they call him, Samichlaus—and receive replies with a little surprise, thanks to the magical helpers at Swiss Post! 💌

This year, we were overjoyed to see so many children take part in this sweet tradition right here at the Christkindlmarkt. From carefully written letters to imaginative wishes, the joy and excitement were truly magical. ✨

To all the little ones who mailed their letters—we hope every Christmas wish came true. And to the parents and families who helped keep the magic alive, thank you for sharing these moments with us. ❤️
