This cozy bar in Toronto has "Christmas date night" written all over it. With British vibes, festive drinks and cozy corners, it's a magical spot to visit with your favourite person.

Compton Ave., a London-inspired bar in downtown Toronto, has transformed into an enchanting Christmas destination that will transport you to England.

The venue is hosting A Christmas Carol event until December 31 complete with festive drinks, old-world London vibes and enchanting decor.

Inside you'll find glittering garland, velvet bows, shimmering Christmas trees and drinks served in teacups. It's a magical spot for a festive date night with your loved one.

"Our aim is to capture the cozy, welcoming spirit of the season and transport guests to a festive home on COMPTON AVE. in the centre of London, England," owner Frankie Solarik said in a press release.

"We also believe in giving back, which is why $1 from every cocktail sold during this activation will go directly to the Salvation Army, a cause that means a lot to us."

You can sip all sorts of boozy holiday drinks such as the Rudolf Negroni, Balsam Martini, Home Alone and Crosby's Hot Cacao.

Reservations can be booked online.

If you're looking for more holiday magic, you can check out Compton Ave.'s sister bar, BarChef for the NORDIC event. The Scandinavian-inspired pop-up "invites you into a mystical world of unique cocktails and festive wonder," according to the release.

Enjoy a little taste of Christmas in London at Compton Ave.'s Christmas Carol event this holiday season.
