The rebranded Toronto Christmas Market is finally here!

One of Toronto's most iconic Christmas events is finally here, and this season, it's returning as something a little different.

The event has less of a focus on holiday vibes and is geared towards local shopping and dining instead. However, there's still lost of festive magic to enjoy.
