This Montreal alleyway will transform into a rustic Christmas market this week (PHOTOS)

Maison Pepin is channelling a little bit of Harry Potter by turning its charming alleyway into a breathtaking rustic Christmas market.

The market itself will feature a variety of locally-made products for sale and DIY workshops from gift packaging to wreath making.

Without taking away from the local artisans, the alleyway is one of the most picturesque Christmas-time spots in the city. The narrow walls, dim lighting, light snow, and wreaths are begging to be shared all over Instagram.

The market will be set up from Thursdays to Sundays, starting this week until December 22.

We’re betting a few engagement proposals take place in this magical alleyway this holiday season.
