You will drive along a 1.5-kilometre path that is full of sparkling displays and holiday characters. There are new interactive exhibits this year along with favourites from last year like the Santa photo stop.
This year's Santa photo setup has a fresh look featuring the gates of the North Pole among a snowy winter scene that leads to Santa Claus.
New displays include a traditional Christmas market where you'll spot cabin huts, carolers, an ice rink, a merry-go-round and a Ferris wheel as well as a ski hill scene with tobogganers and Santa enjoying an après-ski moment in a Muskoka chair. You will also see Mrs. Claus double-checking the Naughty and Nice list.

The ticket price is $25 per vehicle and the total proceeds are donated to Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities which help children and youth access sports across Canada.
