It's the most magical time of the year! Canada's Wonderland will officially be transforming into a holiday paradise for the annual WinterFest event.

The enchanting winter festival is returning for its fifth season on select dates from November 16, 2024 to January 4, 2025.

The park will sparkle with millions of lights and Christmas cheer, and you'll feel like you've stepped into the North Pole.

You can dig into festive treats, explore magical themed areas, see live shows, snap some dazzling photos and more.

"Get ready for the biggest, brightest holiday experience around," Phil Liggett, general manager, said in a press release. "WinterFest is a feel-good event for guests of all ages and brings the magic of the season to life. If you haven’t had chance to see it, this is Canada's Wonderland like you've never seen it before."

WinterFest offers over 40 attractions, including ice skating on the shimmering Snow Flake Lake, a nightly tree lighting ceremony, an Igloo Village where you can rent your own cozy dome, a Christmas market brimming with local goods and more.

You won't want to miss out on the festive food and drinks. The menu has yet to be released, but past years have featured Christmassy funnel cakes and gourmet drinks.

Tickets for WinterFest can be purchased online, so get ready for some major holiday magic.
