Holiday cheer was in full swing Friday, Nov. 21, as the Charity League of Atlantic County welcomed crowds to its 78th Annual Christmas Mart — a lively marketplace of seasonal treasures, sweet treats and community tradition. For the first time, the event was held at Linwood Country Club, offering a bright and spacious setting for guests to browse, mingle and enjoy the day. The event showcased a wide selection of vendors, each with unique holiday gifts, handmade crafts, seasonal décor and specialty items. From jewelry and home goods to gourmet treats, shoppers had no shortage of special finds.
In keeping with the Christmas Mart’s long history, the event also featured limited edition pins designed and created each year with a Christmas theme. They are always a favorite in the South Jersey area, and past pins are ardently collected. The Charity League has been making pins since 1948
Shoppers also enjoyed homemade cookies, a 50/50 drawing and a variety of themed raffles. Volunteers from the Charity League were on hand to greet shoppers, share the organization’s mission and highlight how proceeds from the event will support local children and families throughout Atlantic County.
After 78 years, the Christmas Mart remains one of the region’s most cherished holiday traditions — bringing people together, celebrating local artisans and raising funds for meaningful causes.
