Toronto has a bunch of holiday markets where you can still snag last-minute gifts

There’s something special about a gift that doesn’t come from a big-box store, and Toronto’s holiday markets are overflowing with them. The countdown to Christmas Day is on, and like it or not, it’s coming sooner than we planned. If you’re still hunting for the perfect present, these festive holiday markets offer unique, locally made picks that make last-minute shopping feel downright merry.

We’ve compiled a list of holiday markets that are coming up or still ongoing this December. Here’s what we have so far:
