It’s almost November, which means it’s almost that time of year for Toronto’s most magical holiday market to reopen for the season!
The Distillery Winter Village is less than thirty days away from once again transforming the Cobblestone streets and Victorian buildings in the historic east end into a winter wonderland.
For seven weeks, visitors from near and far will come to Toronto to see the enchanting market that has consistently been ranked among the top Christmas and holiday festivals in the world.
You’ll be transported straight to a Hallmark film as you stroll the iconic lanes, which will be decorated with thousands of twinkling lights, festive photo ops, and dozens of vendor cabins. In the heart of the village, you’ll find “Canada’s most iconic Christmas tree”, adorned in shiny ornaments.
Roaming Christmas carollers will keep the holiday spirit alive as you grab a hot spiced mulled wine or seasonal cocktail to warm up. The market also features countless themed bars, art installations, and that famous countdown clock. Plus, don’t miss the new Narnia-themed Santa’s Village that’s perfect for the little ones.
Tickets for peak times start at $15 for general admission. Kids nine and under are free. Peak times include the opening night tree lighting on November 13, evenings after 4 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and daily from December 15 to 31. Tickets are only required during those peak evening and weekend slots; otherwise, you can visit for free during the day on weekdays.
The Distillery Winter Village officially opens for the season from November 13, 2025 until early January.
