How this site makes money

Updated October 22, 2026. There are no ads on Yuletide Markets. One booking partner is live:

• Stay22 hotel maps (live since October 22, 2026). Market pages for markets people often travel to, such as Elkhart Lake, Door County and Cambria, show a hotel map from our booking partner Stay22, set to a night the market is open. If you book a stay through that map, Stay22 may pay us a commission. You pay the same price, and you can always book directly with the hotel instead. The map sits in a box labeled as a booking partner, below the market's dates and visiting details. It is an embedded map only: we don't load Stay22's site-wide script, and there are no pop-ups.

Any other program gets listed here before its links go live. The plan is:

• Tour links. Some market pages may later show tours through booking partners. If you book through those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those links will be labeled and marked as sponsored.
• Ads. Later, standard in-page ads. We don't use pop-ups, pop-unders or full-screen interstitial ads, and we won't.

What money never buys here: a listing, a better position in a list, or different dates. Markets, light displays and tree farms can't pay to be included, and every date comes from the organizer's or farm's own published schedule, or from an official tourism listing, which the market's page names.
