This magical Ontario spot with cobblestone streets feels like a European Christmas village
No plane ticket needed.
A village in Ontario.
Cobblestone streets, quaint shops dressed in bows, snowy mountain views and cozy alpine charm might sound like something you'd find on a European Christmas vacation, but you can enjoy all this and more without leaving the province.
This enchanting Ontario village has transformed into a scene from a holiday card and will have you feeling like you're in a whole other world.
Located a road trip from Toronto, it's a dazzling spot for a weekend getaway and offers endless things to do.
Blue Mountain Village is a beautiful destination nestled at the base of a mountain, just 2 hours from Toronto.
Each holiday season, the pedestrian village completely transforms for the Holiday Magic at Blue event. Running from November 15, 2025, to January 4, 2026, the Christmas extravaganza features dazzling trails of lights, endless decor, and more.
One of the highlights of the event is the 1-kilometre Light Trail that wraps around the Village, featuring thousands of glowing lights and installations.
You can also head to the Snowdome Cocktail Garden, a magical winter wonderland complete with twinkling domes and decor.
Here you can enjoy boozy drinks, warm cups of coffee, and specialty dining experiences in the heart of the Village.
Live entertainment and events will take place throughout the season, featuring musical performances and visits with reindeer.
The Village itself looks extra magical, with snow-dusted shops, glowing store windows, and bright red bows.
It's an enchanting spot to get some holiday shopping done, and you can find everything from Christmas ornaments to clothing and toys as you wander along the cobblestone streets.
In addition to the Christmas activities, Blue Mountain offers fun outdoor adventures, including a mountain coaster, skiing, snowboarding, and more, depending on the weather.
If you're looking for a magical Christmas escape, Blue Mountain Village is the place to be.
