Vancouver Christmas Market Tickets
The Vancouver Christmas Market is returning this year to the QE Plaza downtown with traditional German holiday market staples. From November 24th until December 24th, enjoy some mulled wine, live music, shop for ornaments, grab some baked goods, and check out the kids’ activity area (where my niece made decorated her own candle last year).
There are twenty new vendors this year, photos with Santa, and a new Christmas carousel. Tickets are just $5 for adults ($2 Monday to Friday from 11:00am to 4:00pm), $2 for youth, and children under 6 are free.
You can also pick up a Vancouver Christmas Passport at the market for $22.28 (plus tax) that will get you into the Vancouver Christmas Market, VanDusen Garden, the Museum of Vancouver, and many more attractions this season (valid until April, 2012).
If you would like to check out the market, I have a four-pack of tickets to give away as well as four tickets for a ride on the Christmas carousel. Here’s how you can enter to win:

I will draw one winner at 12:00pm on Sunday, November 20, 2011. The market is open to all but government ID is required to purchase alcoholic beverages. Enjoy responsibly and consider taking transit to this event.
Update The winner is Amy!

The Christmas market was AMAZING last year, thank you so much miss604 for giving us tickets!
Went last year and it was great fun 🙂
My fiance really enjoyed the pfeffernusse!
I can’t wait for Christmas!
i really want to go to this!
this looks awesome
Would take the family to see this..
I’d be happy to have some mulled wine!
Wow, I’m so excited for the Christmas Market!
Sounds like fun
Love the christmas market
I was in Germany last year and went to all the Christmas Markets I could, but then i missed the 1st ever in Vancovuer. I can’t wait to go. But more importantly, i’d love to take new immigrant youth here to show them what Canadians are all about! It would be nice to take a few youth who may not have the funds to go to these things. Many kids out there don’t have the resources like others do.
This would really make my Christmas holiday great =D
So many pretty decorations to purchase! 🙂
had a lot of fun checking this out last year! would love to check it out again this year! =D
This year I won’t miss it.
Didn’t have a chance to go last year.
Would love to go to the market! Last years event was fantastic.
Such festive atmosphere! I want in.
I’ve never been before, but i would definitely love to go this year!
I love Christmas and the festive holiday atmosphere!
I would love to go to this.
This would be pretty cool
Carousel? Yes!
It’s become a tradition for me and my friends! It was tough, as a Celiac, to bypass all the great food, but I was so thankful for the Baked Potato Guy and his FABULOUS gluten-free options. It was the only choice for me and it was perfectly delicious! I also picked up a knit-ear-flapped-toque! Herzliche Weinachten!
I would love to go visit the market! Heard great things about it from friends who went last year =)
Those pictures are fabulous! My daughter would have a blast.
i loved the little german xmas ornaments!
Fingers (and toes) totally crossed!
I just remember sampling lots and lots of good food
I have lived here for over 30 years and Im embarrassed to say I have never been. Regardless…win or not I will still go as I have heard many great things about it.!
Ooh I can’t wait to ride on those carousels for Christmas!
Love to visit again this year! Food was delicious!

I went last year (blogged and video’d too) and had a great time. Would love to see what’s new for this go-around.
I would love to go to this! Judging from the video on the website, it looks like so much fun! It’ll be a great way for me and my friends to celebrate after we finish with our final exams!
First thing you have to do when you go the Christmas Market, and especially when it’s cold, is to get a nice hot cup of traditional Gluehwein. You’ll be so glad you did, giving you a nice cozy feeling while strolling around the Christmas Market. Oh! And be sure to go there hungry as there’s so much traditional German food to eat… My favorite is a traditional German Bratwurst. 🙂
I missed it last year! it would be great to go this year!!
thanks for the contest. i missed this last year and would love to check it out this time around!

Christmas begins when you decide it does. I choose to begin with the Christmas Market!

Oh my goodness I would LOVE to win these tickets! I fell in love with Christmas markets in Europe and was over-the-top excited when they decided to have one in Vancouver last year.
