Ways to Enjoy December in Toronto

December 3, 2018 | Lifestyle

When it comes to the holiday season, there are few cities in Canada that do it better than Toronto. From the eye catching department store windows found on Mink Mile, to the holiday lights illuminating our skies, to the fact that you can find yourself a festive peppermint mocha around virtually every corner – Torontonians know a thing or two about celebrating this joyous time of year!

The happiness of December only comes around once a year, so it’s imperative that you get out there and soak it up while you still can!

Here are 3 of the top ways to truly enjoy December in the wonderful city we call home:

The Christmas Market

The Distillery District’s Christmas Market is a truly special spot this time of year. Boasting cobblestone streets, mulled wine, local vender stands, carolers, live performances, a gigantic Christmas tree, and even a Ferris wheel – the Christmas Market is your one stop “shop” for good old fashioned yuletide fun.

Nathan Phillips Square

The holidays are a time that really evokes the sentimental feeling of nostalgia. From sipping eggnog, to gathering around a celebratory meal, to lacing up your skates to glide around the rink showcasing some pristine figure 8’s, December gives us a chance to truly go all in on enjoying the wonders of things we adored as children.

The Nathan Phillips Square skating rink is the perfect place to relive your childhood memories. There’s nothing as sweet as the cool wind caressing your cheeks as you skate amidst holiday joy!

Ontario Place

Speaking of nostalgia, for long time residents of the province, Ontario Place summons memories of summers spent at its iconic theme park. Nowadays the former hotspot is far less active. However, for the second year in a row, Ontario Place is showcasing its stunning winter light exhibition that is sure to warm your heart, even in the cool weather!

Bonus points: After strolling through the grounds taking in the joyous lights, enjoy free public skating on a synthetic ice rink, and then warm up next to a community bonfire over a cup of hot cocoa!
