Was that the sound of sleigh bells? This dazzling Ontario Christmas destination will have you feeling like you stepped into a holiday song.

The Kortright Centre for Conservation, located in Vaughan, is hosting a Magical Christmas Forest event on select dates from November 29 to December 23, 2024.

The Centre told Narcity that the event will whisk you into an "enchanting winter wonderland, featuring festive lights, seasonal crafts to make, interactive activities, horse-drawn wagon rides and delicious treats for the whole family."

The outdoor experience takes place in the dreamy forest of the Kortright Centre, and the area will be decked out with decorated Christmas trees, wrapped presents, twinkling lights and dazzling installations.

You can even visit Santa's cozy cabin to share your Christmas wishes with him.

For an extra magical experience, you can take a horse-drawn wagon through the twinkling woodland.

Bring your appetite, because there will be festive treats like cookies and hot chocolate available. You can also enjoy marshmallow roasting and cookie decorating.

Cafe food and drinks are available on-site for an additional fee.

If you're looking for an enchanting holiday experience, this twinkly Christmas realm hidden in a forest is worth a trip. Tickets can be purchased online.
