The Book Cellar, which runs a string of book clubs through the fall, closes out its December schedule with a Christmas market it calls The Cellar Express. The shop's events page lists the market by name, date and time and gives no further description.
The market is set for Sunday, December 20, 2026 from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. The listing has a Register button but states no price, so check the shop's events page for what registering involves before you go.
Parent tip: At five hours on the last Sunday before Christmas, this is an easy drop-in stop for last-minute gifts. Since the page says so little, look at the listing again closer to the date to see whether registration is expected for children.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Conyers
Conyers exists because a banker talked a stubborn blacksmith into selling his land for $700 so the Georgia Railroad could come through.

How Conyers celebrates
The season in Conyers starts before Thanksgiving.

The same city calendar lists Ice Days Conyers opening on November 20 at the newly opened Celebration Park, with skating on real ice. On December 20 The Book Cellar holds a Christmas market it calls The Cellar Express.
Fun facts about Christmas in Conyers
Conyers began as a watering post on the Georgia Railroad and is named for Dr. W. D. Conyers, the Covington banker who bought the land and sold it to the railroad.
