A whimsical holiday market is coming to one of Toronto’s most luxurious hotels. The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto is bringing back its European-inspired holiday market to EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace, transforming the space for the season with charm and tradition.

From Nov. 5 to Dec. 30, visitors are welcome to explore the holiday market through its holiday retail vendors and artisans, festive food, confectionery offerings, seasonal beverages, and specialty treats. This is the perfect chance to browse for thoughtful gifts surrounded by seasonal décor, all within a warm and inviting setting.

What to expect at The Ritz-Carlton Curated Holiday Market 

As you roam the market, you can fuel up on holiday bites like slow-braised Ham Hock Sliders with Pineapple Marmalade, Yorkshire Pudding stuffed with Brisket, and Truffled Macaroni and Cheese. Need to satisfy that sweet tooth? Gingerbread Sticky Toffee Pudding and a refreshed selection of house-made baked goods and treats will also be available for purchase.

But it’s no holiday market without cocktails. Expect seasonal creations of both hot and chilled drinks, festive bubbles, prestige Scotch whiskies and Champagne, alongside non-alcoholic offerings.

In addition to the goodies, there will be photo ops inside the hotel’s giant snow globe for the perfect holiday shot.

“The festive season is about bringing people together and creating moments that feel truly special,” said Lukas Boeckmann, general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto. “This year, we’re bringing dining, gifting and festive experiences together across the hotel, while evolving The Ritz-Carlton Curated Holiday Market into an even more thoughtful celebration of the season for our guests and the local community.”
