As the holiday season fast approaches, you might be looking to change up your Christmas plans this year and travel somewhere bursting with holiday magic. Well, turns out the best places in the world to celebrate Christmas include two destinations right here in Quebec.
As the holiday season twinkles into view, Montreal transforms into a winter wonderland, dotted with enchanting Christmas markets that add extra shine to festivities. You can stroll through magical illuminated villages and find unique gifts and items in time for the holidays, all while supporting local.
Montreal Christmas markets are a great way to get into the holiday spirit and see how different parts of the city celebrate the season. The Atwater Christmas market Le Village de Noël de Montréal is back for its seventh year, making the perfect place for friends and family to gather during the cold, dark days of December.
In addition to the three bustling Montreal Christmas markets returning to Rosemont, the Sud-Ouest and downtown, several holiday events are popping up in the city's sleepier suburbs. The marché de noël on Terrebonne's picturesque Île-des-Moulins is a highlight.
Montreal's Atwater Market is hosting a festive "knack party" at its Christmas Village on December 2. Attendees will stuff their bellies the Alsatian way with some traditional Strasbourg sausages and other delicacies from the eastern part of France.
