Toronto Christmas Market 2016

A couple years ago I visited the Toronto Christmas Market for the first time. I discovered it to be the most European kind of Christmas Market in Ontario, and if you've even been to a Christmas Market in Europe, you know how special they can be. This time around I decided to visit the Distillery District's market after work and the evening atmosphere made it utterly magical. 

I started my visit off with meeting a friend at Hudson's Bay in order to check out their seasonal windows (I didn't bother to brave the crowds when Mariah Carey was here for the unveiling a few weeks back).Winter scenes in an 'Enchanted Forest'. Adorbs.

Mostly protected from the wind tunnels of the city, we were warmed by the glow from the twinkling fairy lights, and thick aroma of mulled wine.

We wandered the little cobbled alleys through the former distiller grounds before deciding which food and drink was calling our names.

Being there on a workday evening meant that it wasn't too crazy busy and we could actually get seats next to the fire pit for sipping our mulled wine. Perfection.

Although there is a selection of foods to pick from, I returned to Schnitzelhaus for a schnitzel and it was as good as I remembered. I could go for another right about now...

If you get a chance to visit the Toronto Christmas Market at the Distillery District I highly recommend you go. Go for the food, go for the mulled wine, go for the gifts you can buy, just go and get yourself there.

The market is open until December 22nd 2016 
Tuesday-Thursday 12pm-9pm
Friday12pm-10pm
Saturday 10am-10pm
Sunday 10am-9pm
Monday closed

Starting from 5pm Fridays-Sundays there is an admission fee of $6 (kids under 2 are free). This fee was implemented last year to help control the over crowding issues that were happening. The raised funds go to helping grow the festival and 3 charities: Daily Bread Food Bank, Plan International Canada, and the Toronto Star Santa Claus Parade. 

At the beginning of each month, I like to take part in the monthly travel link up hosted on the incredible blogs by AngieJessiEmma,  and this month's special host Honey. You can join in too by leaving a comment below, checking out other posts on the link up, or adding your own post to the widget now until December 7th.
