By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Wrigleyville · December 28, 2025

Wrigleyville is preparing to host a very sweet debut this weekend: Chicago's first-ever cookie market. The event, brought to life by Cookies for Kids' Cancer, promises a fusion of holiday cheer and philanthropy. Set for Sunday, December 14 at Christmas Club (3460 N Clark St), the market will gather 40 of the city's top pastry talents, including nationally recognized chefs like Gale Gand and Mindy's Bakery alongside local favorites such as Cafe Yaya and Loba Pastry. Visitors will have the opportunity to sample confections before selecting two dozen hand-picked cookies to take home.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Cookies for Kids' Cancer, a national nonprofit that supports over 40 leading pediatric oncology programs. Locally, this support includes Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, with funds helping cover the enrollment cost of early phase clinical trials for children with cancer. Those interested can purchase general admission tickets ($35) and VIP options ($47), while those unable to attend can still support the cause by ordering a commemorative silver tin packed with two dozen cookies and an OXO spatula for
