The Distillery Winter Village - Great for festive strolls, artisanal gifts, seasonal food & drinks, and a magical European-style atmosphere.

3. Niemi Family Farm Christmas Market
- This is more of a “Christmas farm” experience — with indoor/outdoor markets, ~50+ vendors, seasonal treats, and Nordic. - Features whimsical attractions: a “Gnome Ville,” a Christmas train ride, a chance to meet Santa, roast s’mores by bonfires, story time, and even Christmas-tree sales. - 2025 dates: Fridays & Saturdays, Nov 14 – Dec 20, 2025, 12 PM–8 PM.

5. Toronto Botanical Garden Holiday Market
- It has a calm, garden-market vibe — much more low-key and relaxed than big city-center markets. - You’ll find locally made, eco-friendly gifts, nature-inspired décor, handcrafted goods, and seasonal treats — a good fit if you prefer thoughtful, sustainable shopping. - Because it’s less crowded and more mellow, it’s ideal if you want a quiet, cozy holiday outing instead of the hustle and bustle.
