Toronto's world-famous Christmas market returns with new attractions, special performances and holiday experiences through January 3, 2027

TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Distillery Winter Village, presented by Quince, officially opened its 2026 season on November 12 with the lighting of its iconic 16.8-metre (55-foot) Christmas tree. Thousands gathered in Toronto's Distillery Historic District to join Santa in the countdown as the towering silver fir, adorned with more than 80,000 white lights and hundreds of custom ornaments inspired by Quince's holiday world of cashmere and gingerbread, was illuminated as a flurry of snow fell, creating a magical winter scene.

The tree lighting ceremony was followed by a performance from JUNO Award-winning Canadian singer Holly Cole. Now in its 17th season, The Distillery Winter Village runs through January 3, 2027, welcoming global visitors for seven weeks of holiday entertainment, shopping, food and seasonal experiences.

All profits from opening night ticket sales support The Distillery Winter Village's local charity partners: The Anishnawbe Health Foundation, Soulpepper Theatre, and the Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund. Watch a replay of the countdown of the Christmas tree lighting ceremony on YouTube.

"There's something really special about opening night, as the city comes together for the countdown and the Christmas tree lights up for the first time," said Rik Ocvirk, Vice President, The Distillery Restaurants Corp. and Director, Experiences & Events, The Distillery Historic District. "This year's tree is particularly beautiful, and our partners at Quince have helped us create something truly unique with all the wonderful details that visitors will enjoy seeing up close. After months of planning and preparation, it's incredibly rewarding to see The Distillery Winter Village come to life and welcome everyone back for another holiday season."
