5 outdoor spots in Toronto that will give you holiday feels this month

Even though the pandemic has cancelled many of our beloved holiday traditions in Toronto this year, there are still festive areas in the city to see while physically distanced.

Here is a list of some of the festive spots in Toronto this holiday season.

The Distillery District

The famous Christmas Market might be cancelled this year, but there are still lots of festive lights sparkling all over the Distillery District. Pay a visit and take a stroll through the historic streets while taking in all of the holiday lights, and obviously getting a fire picture for insta.

Just remember, you are asked to wear a mask at all times.
