You'll feel like you've taken a holiday trip to Europe at this twinkling Christmas village in Ontario, and the best part is, you don't even need to buy a plane ticket.

Village Noël is returning for the first time since 2019, and you can enjoy tons of winter magic. The New France-style Christmas village is running from November 24 to 26 at the Fall Fair Grounds in New Liskeard.

Twinkly chalet-style booths will fill the area, and you can shop for stocking stuffers and more. Products include cheese, popcorn, soap, art, and other local goods.

Food vendors like BeaverTails, Mr. Sausage, and Bear's Fish Fry will be onsite to keep your tummy warm. There will also be a variety of activities and entertainment including log sawing, music, dancing troupes, and more.
