Hycroft for the Holidays returns to Vancouver with a festive artisan market full of unique gifts

One of Vancouver’s most cherished holiday traditions is back!

Hycroft for the Holidays returns Nov. 27 to Nov. 30, inviting guests to step inside the stately Edwardian-era mansion at 1489 McRae Ave., which has been lavishly transformed into a winter wonderland.

The event’s artisan market features creations from over 40 vendors, offering perfect gifts for your loved ones this season — a wonderful way to shop handmade, support local, and skip the Black Friday rush.

Step into a holiday dream

Visitors can enjoy live holiday jazz music and choral performances, cozy up with seasonal treats from two on-site cafes, and soak in the magical atmosphere.

This year, the winter garden theme comes alive thanks to the stunning décor of Francesca Albertazzi of Studio Albertazzi, the Vancouver designer behind Pamela Anderson’s HGTV series Pamela’s Garden of Eden.

Plus, new for 2025 is a twinkling Christmas Tree Garden displayed on the outdoor estate grounds.

Your new Christmas tradition

Guests can purchase made-to-order wreaths and centrepieces crafted with greenery and hydrangeas from Hycroft’s own gardens.

Even better, all proceeds support the Hycroft Heritage Preservation Foundation, dedicated to conserving and maintaining this iconic Vancouver heritage mansion.

“Hycroft for the Holidays has been a Vancouver tradition for 50 years, and we are delighted to be able to open the house up to visitors again this year to celebrate the real magic of the holidays — bringing people together,” said Robin Halpern, president of Hycroft Heritage Preservation Foundation and University Women’s Club of Vancouver, in a press release.

This event is perfect for finding unique holiday gifts or just as a fun and festive evening out this winter.
