The annual Christmas at Canada Place, presented by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, runs until January 1, 2025, and will feature all sorts of events to get you and your family in the Yuletide spirit, from astounding light displays to cozy toy set-ups.

Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or that special someone, here are the four main attractions that you surely don’t want to miss.

Avenue of Trees

This is an especially fun display, as each tree has a unique theme and is custom-designed and created by local professionals. Which tree will be your favourite? You won’t know until you go!

Woodward’s Windows

Canada Place

The Woodward’s Windows display has been a staple in Christmas at Canada Place for more than 20 years, with origins at Woodward’s Department Store in the 90s. If that doesn’t evoke a sense of nostalgia, the whimsical designs reminiscent of childhood holidays certainly will.

Canada’s North Light Display
