Toronto Christmas Market
Ever since I became old enough to start challenging the true existence of jolly old St. Nick is when I started becoming more of a Grinch. Around the age of 16, I was delivering newspapers and earning my own small change. I never was or never will be great at budgeting or managing money but I realized I was able to buy the “needs” my mom (for some reason) would always call “wants”
Naughty OR Nice?
(I really am a nice guy, I just like to be naughty 😉
Nevertheless, the thought that I may no longer require Santas services coupled with the freedom to be naughty instead of pretending to be nice furthered my spiral into grinch-hood.
The over-commercialization of shopping, finding the perfect present and gift-giving can often make us forget the true meaning of the holidays. So aside from being at home surrounded by my family, there is only one other place in Toronto that will always get me in the Christmas spirit and that’s the Toronto Christmas Market.
In addition, I included the Distillery District in my infamous 48 Hour Toronto Itinerary, check that out here

Somehow I am 100% convinced you fall into the naughty BUT nice category. I haven’t been to Toronto and I’d love to visit. Good to know there’s such a fun Christmas market

I want to go to this Christmas market so bad! We left Europe right before all the Christmas markets and we are kicking ourselves for it! It’s cool that we have some in North America too, we gotta make it up to Canada!

I can feel your budding Grinchhood. I was playing the Little Drummer Boy Challenge and got eliminated last night because of the long lines Whole Foods and felt more than a little annoyed. The Toronto Christmas Market does look cool and I think a stop at the Distillery District would be mandatory. A little libation help free the Christmas Spirit.

I personally love the Christmas spirit. People are happier, jolly and in the mood to have some fun. I love the lights, the mulled wine and all that food. Although I know it’s a festival that calls to spend time with family, but I love Christmas markets and the vibe they have. Never been to Toronto during Christmas (I have been during summer and I loved the vibe there even then) but I’m sure it’ll be a good experience .

I finally made it to the Distillery District during a visit to Toronto last fall and am OBSESSED with it, so I’d definitely like to visit it during Christmas to check out the market. Talk about photo heaven 🙂

Bummer that you’re a grinch. LOL. The Toronto Christmas Market sounds like fun, especially all that food!

It’s impossible not to get caught up in the holiday spirit at a Christmas market! I’ve heard such great things about the Christmas Market in Toronto’s Distillery District.

lol Grinch hood huh. Hilarious. I would love to check out a Christmas Market in Toronto. Closer to home so something to check out. Maybe next year I will get the chance. Of course I would want to try some non alcoholic stuff.

This market is absolutely my favourite – and I make sure I visit every year! Like you, it is probably the place that gets me in the Christmas spirit the most!

Mulled wine, eggnog, and poutine? Sign me up for the Toronto Christmas market! I agree that it is pretty hard to be a grinch during the holidays. I love spending time with the family – eating and drinking too much. The present exchange is pretty unnecessary but like you said everyone is just in a great mood. Happy holidays to you and yours!!
