Tips for a Joyful Visit

Tips for a Joyful Visit

Make the most of your visit to the International Christmas Market by planning your timing! 

Fridays are the perfect choice for a more relaxed experience, and if you arrive after 6 p.m., you’ll be treated to the twinkle of holiday lights. 

For a quieter stroll, consider coming 1–2 hours before closing, when the market feels especially cosy...and less crowded. Keep in mind that weekends from 2–5 p.m. are the busiest, as everyone flocks to soak in the festive spirit during these times!

Festive Flavours

We’re excited to welcome back the Gallery on the Green Congress Hall to the Spruce Meadows International Christmas Market, presented by TELUS! 

This year, it transforms into Festive Flavours at Congress Hall — showcasing local food and drink businesses offering delicious fare, a concession, candy bar, gift wrapping, and a seating area. It’s the perfect place to relax, indulge, and celebrate the tastes of the season.  

Children's Crafts by Pinnovate

In our Winter Wonderland, presented by Bantrel, little ones can enjoy complimentary holiday crafts provided by Pinnovate—perfect for sparking creativity and festive cheer. Pinnovate will also have special goods for kids available for purchase, along with a few extra seasonal surprises to make the visit truly magical!

Activities for the kids

Petting Zoo

Step into the Winter Wonderland, presented by Bantrel, and meet some furry new friends! 

Our delightful mini cow and goat petting zoo is sure to bring smiles to kids and adults alike, offering plenty of cuddly cuteness, and an extra sprinkle of holiday cheer. It’s the perfect stop to pause, play, and soak in the magic of the season—and best of all, the petting zoo is open daily throughout the Market!
