One of Vancouver’s most beloved holiday traditions is back! Hycroft for the Holidays returns November 27th to 30th, inviting guests to experience one of Vancouver’s most beloved heritage mansions as a lavishly transformed Winter Garden wonderland.
Step Inside Vancouver’s Most Magical Winter Garden
Hycroft Manor, a historic Edwardian estate in Shaughnessy, already looks straight out of a storybook. But during Hycroft for the Holidays, it becomes an immersive winter experience filled with lights, greenery, and elegant seasonal décor.
This year’s Winter Garden theme was created by acclaimed Vancouver designer Francesca Albertazzi, best known as the lead interior designer on Pamela Anderson’s HGTV series Pamela’s Garden of Eden. Her vision blends natural textures, soft winter tones, and sophisticated holiday style, turning the mansion into a warm and whimsical escape from the city.
From the decorated archways to the garden-inspired vignettes, every corner is designed to surprise and delight guests as they move through the home.
Shop at the Artisan Fair: 40+ Local Makers Under One Roof
A major highlight every year is the Artisan Fair, which brings together over 40 local vendors offering handmade goods, artwork, home décor, jewellery, textiles, preserves, and more. It’s one of the most charming artisan shopping experiences in Vancouver, and a perfect chance to support local creators while crossing a few gifts off your holiday list.
Even better, all proceeds support the Hycroft Heritage Preservation Foundation., which helps maintain and restore the mansion for future generations.
Live Music, Choral Performances & Seasonal Treats
Throughout the four-day event, Hycroft Manor comes alive with festive entertainment. Guests can expect live music, choir performances, and plenty of classic holiday moments that bring the house to life.
Between sets, you’ll be able to enjoy treats from beloved local spots like Savary Island Pie Company and Sweet Thea Bakery, plus other sweets, snacks, and warm drinks.
The popular Christmas Tree Garden also returns, giving guests a chance to wander through beautifully decorated trees that fill the estate with colour and sparkle.
Family-Friendly & Perfect for Holiday Photos
