As the resident fashion guru, it was no wonder that I was instantly drawn to the Saks Holiday Window. With two amazing themes—Enchanted Forest on the Hudson Bay side and Land of 1,000 Delights adorning Saks—these windows will inspire your holiday shopping and help you brave the mall. Although the unveiling ceremony has passed, that shouldn’t stop you from checking out these amazing windows. In fact, it’s all the more reason to!
When: The Holiday Windows have already been decked! Check them out at the corner of Queen Street East and Yonge Street until January 3rd.

With three little ones, it can be hard to find the time to complete my holiday shopping. That’s why I was relieved to hear that Nathan Phillips Square was opening their very own Christmas market. In the style of a classic European Christmas market, there will be artisan crafts and gifts filling the booths. We can peruse the stalls as a family and explore the amazing local brands that Toronto has to offer. Once the shopping is done, it will be time to hit the rink and the carnival rides. This year in the square there will be something for everyone, no matter your age!
When: December 8th until December 23rd in Nathan Phillips Square.

Wednesday’s just got a little bit brighter in December. Beginning December 7th, Casa Loma is helping us get into the Holiday spirit with their Winterland Nights. Grab a hot cocoa and stroll through the grounds to marvel at their amazing light displays. Take in the Christmas carollers and performances that the whole family can enjoy. Maybe even grab your kids and loved ones for a visit to the Santa’s workshop and snap a picture with the man himself. If the Legends of Horror Halloween display was any indication, Casa Loma’s Magical Winterland Nights will be lit.
When: Wednesday’s from December 7th to January 4th at Casa Loma.
