Fannie May's Jolly Trolley Brings Sweet Holiday Tours to The Loop This December
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/The Loop ·
A delightful new holiday experience has arrived in The Loop as Fannie May launches its first-ever Jolly Trolley, offering Chicagoans and visitors alike a festive chocolate-themed journey through downtown. Operating from December 5-21 every Wednesday through Sunday, this vintage trolley combines Chicago's rich confectionery heritage with seasonal cheer along Michigan Avenue's Magnificent Mile.
The festively decorated trolley departs from Fannie May's Michigan Avenue flagship store for 35-45 minute tours featuring chocolate tastings, storytelling from a charismatic 'Taste Conductor,' and 1920s jazz renditions of holiday classics. Guests who pre-reserve tickets receive first boarding access, while walk-up passengers can hop on at any of four designated 'Chocolate Stops' along the route. On weekdays, the Jolly Trolley transforms into stationary pop-ups at holiday destinations including Christkindlmarket in The Loop, offering photo opportunities and on-site chocolate purchases.
This charming addition to The Loop's holiday landscape celebrates Fannie May's 105-year Chicago heritage while providing a cozy respite from winter weather. Whether you're a local seeking a new holiday tradition or a visitor exploring downtown's festive offerings, the Jolly Trolley offers a sweet way to experience The Loop's magic this season.
