Canada's Wonderland announces massive new winter festival (VIDEO)
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
There’s a new reason to head to Canada’s Wonderland during the winter season.
In addition to the new Yukon Striker coaster coming in 2019, the Vaughan theme park has announced its latest addition to the GTA’s holiday fun, WinterFest.
Beginning in 2019, guests will be able to head to Canada’s Wonderland for an all-new immersive holiday experience taking place in late November and December.
During WinterFest, the park will be transformed into an enchanted winter wonderland complete with uniquely themed areas, dozens of Christmas trees, millions of spectacular lights, ice-skating, live entertainment, savoury treats, crafts and hands-on family activities.
“This is the largest capital investment we’ve made in our park since opening,” said Norm Pirtovshek, Canada’s Wonderland General Manager. “We’re excited to offer world-class thrills and a truly unique experience for our guests next year. And to cap off our 2019 season, WinterFest will be a holiday event unique to Canada as our park transforms into a winter wonderland. You can expect magical holiday fun for guests of all ages.”
According to Canada’s Wonderland, the park’s fountain on International Street will become Snowflake Lake where guests can enjoy ice skating amid brilliant holiday lights. And each night, singers and dancers will set the stage for the celebratory lighting ceremony of a 70-foot-tall (21 m) Christmas tree featuring more than 40,000 sparkling ornaments.
And what’s a holiday celebration without a little carolling? Catch one of a dozen live holiday-themed shows like “Cool Yule Christmas” and “Jingle Jazz.” Kids can help elves mail letters to Santa, decorate cookies in Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen, and meet classic Peanuts characters or special WinterFest entertainers like Jack Frost, the Sugar Plum Fairy and Candy Cane.
