Head up to Grouse Mountain to discover the closest place to the North Pole near Vancouver. The mountain’s highly-anticipated Peak of Christmas event is back, along with its spectacular light walk and magical outdoor skating rink. It’s also home to Santa’s workshop, and of course, his full fleet of reindeer. Which, you’ll be able to meet by the way.

Tinseltown Pop-Up Bar

Enjoy all the seasonal merriment at this one-of-a-kind pop-up bar on Granville Street. Appropriately called Tinseltown, the fully immersive Santa’s workshop inspired cocktail bar is a must this holiday season. Couples can take in all the festive lights and decor while sipping on a variety of Christmas-inspired cocktails that will be sure to hit the spot.

Elevated Forest Path

There’s a new place to enjoy the great outdoors and it would make for the perfect sunset walk with your significant other. The 200 metre wooden trestle bridge in West Vancouver is part of the British Pacific Properties’ upper Mountain Path, and therefore offers incredible views of the Burrard Inlet and the Burrard Peninsula. There’s also lights lining the boardwalk to add a little holiday magic.

Couples have to visit Glow Langley at least once this holiday season. The drive-thru festival lets cars enter into a huge area and explore 20 minutes of non-stop illumination. There’s about a million twinkling light displays to take in, so they definitely don’t call it “Glow” for no reason.

Location: 6690 216 Street, Langley Twp

Singletree Winery

Have a personal wine and cheese tasting inside a dome for a magical dining experience you won’t soon forget. If this sounds right up your alley, head to Singletree Winery in Abbotsford. The 12-acre family-owned winery is offering tastings in one of its two new Di Vine Domes. Guests can choose between the Enchanted Forest Dome or the Canadian Cabin Dome.
