Vancouver's Favourite Family Christmas Activity & Holiday Tradition

Meet Me At Santa's Workshop

This is where your kids will make their first Christmas memories — and where you get to see the season through their eyes again. Between Santa’s Workshop, the Christmas Carousel, and a village passport, there’s always something new.

The Perfect Family Christmas Event

Step Into the Glow & Catch the Snow

Watch the whole village light up, then look up when the snow starts falling — it happens every 30 minutes, right on cue.

Grab a Bite to Eat

From gingerbread cookies to Netherlands Mini Pancakes, Gourmetstrasse has something for everyone.

Get a Photo with Santa

Stop by the Alpen Haus beside Santa’s Workshop for photos, and a letter to Santa — a tradition kids remember long after the season ends.

Ride the Christmas Carousel

Right at the entrance, the nostalgic Christmas Carousel is often the first stop — and usually the first photo of the day.

Pick Up Your Village Passport

Grab a Village Passport at the gate and follow it from stop to stop — a fun way to explore the whole village with a special keepsake.

Grab a Candy Cane at the Gate

Every visit starts the same sweet way — a candy cane handed to your kids the moment you walk through the entrance.
