The city's iconic Distillery Historic District just launched its Winter Village experience last night with the lighting of their Xmas tree and it is stunning, to say the least.

From thousands of lights to shops filled with truly Canadian gifts, this winter wonderland will definitely lift your holiday spirits.

And if you don't feel like going into a store itself, some of the shops offer curbside pickup or online shopping.

Trinity St. is just pure wow and offers plenty of space to socially distance.

The 44 foot Xmas tree is lit with over 60, 000 LED bulbs and is truly something to marvel at.

The lighting of the tree takes place every night at dusk until January 10.
