This BC holiday dining experience is in the forest & has a life-sized gingerbread house

If you’re hoping to find a unique holiday dining experience to treat yourself and your loved ones to this year, look no further than Camp Howdy’s Christmas Tea Lights experience. For 20 nights this year, visitors get to take their pick between five themed dining experiences, all of which are surrounded by 100,000 twinkling lights in the forest.

The first is a life-sized Gingerbread Tea House, which offers guests the chance to indulge in organic treats like the Gingerbread AYR Tea Latte.

For pizza lovers, there’s the magical Nutcracker Hall experience, which features organic sourdough pizzas, ramen, and hot cacao.

Next up, there are two dome dining experiences to note: Luna Dome Dining and the Private Throne Dining Room. The former allows up to four guests to enjoy a five-course meal in privacy surrounded by forest lights, while the latter seats up to 16 people.

Finally, there’s an optional Tea Experience (available Fridays to Sundays from November 10th to December 23rd) that allows visitors to learn about the history of tea and sample some of the best tea leaves in the world.

Apart from organic food & drink, visitors can see the Tree of Light, which is reminiscent of Avatar’s Tree of Life, according to the festival’s website.
