The opening date of the Vancouver Christmas Market, one of the city’s most popular holiday attractions, is just two weeks away.

Returning to Jack Poole Plaza for another year, the market kicks off from November 21 to December 24 with extended holiday hours (11:30 am to 9:30 pm) for all who attend.

Guests can expect more than 55,000-sq-ft of entertainment, more than 80 vendors, and a gorgeous Christmas carousel.

New highlights for this year include a heated Alpine Lounge, exclusive Wunderbar, the “Winterdeck,” and the 30-foot long Lovers’ Lane tunnel featuring 10,000 sparkling lights, a mistletoe, and a “love lock” installation.

And of course, what would the Market be without a wide selection of treats, including Glühwein (a hot-spiced mulled wine), German Bratwurst, Gulasch, Spätzle, Schnitzel, Strudels, Transylvanian Chimney Cakes, a selection of German beer, award-winning German-style wine, and much more.
