The most wonderful time of the year has arrived, and the city’s largest and longest-running Christmas Market is back to delight people of all ages this holiday season.

Vancouver Christmas Market is transforming Jack Poole Plaza into a huge German-style holiday event until December 24, and tickets are on sale now.

A popular holiday tradition for locals and visitors alike, the Vancouver Christmas Market offers over 90 huts of authentic German sweets, treats, and treasures. There are also plenty of festive activities and live entertainment to enjoy.

“We’re so pleased to return to Jack Poole Plaza and once again open the gates to a holiday favourite for many Vancouverites and guests,” said Denise Wegener, president of the Vancouver Christmas Market. “This year, we’re offering an exciting variety of market events and activities earlier in the season to allow families and friends to make some great memories before the holidays.

“We’ll be bringing back market favourites and giving our guests new reasons to spend quality time with us over the festive season, too.”

Stroll through the European-inspired Christmas village with a mug of Glühwein (mulled wine) and a warm schnitzel in hand. Plus, you can choose from a variety of delicious drinks as well as savoury and sweet delicacies to keep you full.

Take a moment to sing along to the live entertainment happening on the Flying Stage on the second storey of the iconic Christmas Pyramid. And make sure to bring a camera for all of your holiday photo ops with the holiday lights and all-new market decor.

Of course, a visit to the market wouldn’t be complete without a ride on the carousel! This season, courtesy of the market’s new sponsor Aeroplan, rides on the Aeroplan Holiday Carousel are free for all ages.
