Win the Ultimate Vancouver Christmas Market Gift Box

Comments 314 by Rebecca Bollwitt Monday, December 11th, 2017 — 5:14pm PST

The 8th annual Vancouver Christmas Market is in full swing at Jack Poole Plaza, with an expanded 55,000 square foot site filled with festive German jubilation. The treasured holiday tradition features more than 75 huts stuffed with sweets, treats and gifts, coupled with a multitude of festive family activities and live entertainment.

Vancouver Christmas Market

Where: Jack Poole Plaza (Olympic Cauldron at Vancouver Convention Centre West)
When: Until December 24, 2017 11:00am to 9:00pm (closing at 6:00pm December 24)
Tickets: Adult $10, Seniors $9, Youth $5, Children Age 0-6, FREE.  Purchase online to receive a complimentary Season Pass and to get Express Line access.

The tradition for John and me is to enjoy the live music, pick up a cup of mulled wine, devour some schnitzel, then shop for ornaments.

Among this year’s expanded highlights will be Canada’s first-ever Walk-In Christmas Tree: a 30ft tall tree covered with 36,000 twinkling lights that guests can enter to experience a spectacular – and Instagram-worthy light display.

In addition to Deutschland delicacies, rousing entertainment, and returning favourites – such as downtown Vancouver’s only Christmas Carousel and the warming Alpine Haus tent – visitors can wander throughout the market’s quaint pathways of huts, discovering lovingly crafted gifts and treasures that cry out to be slipped into stockings and placed under Christmas trees.

The Vancouver Christmas Market and Children’s Wish Foundation have partnered for the 2017 season in order to raise funds to grant the most heartfelt wishes of BC children diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. During the market’s ‘Children’s Wish Week’, from December 16 to 24, Children’s Wish will be collecting donations and selling ‘wish wands’ at booths throughout the market.

Their mascot ‘Roary’ the lion and representatives from Children’s Wish will be onsite December 16 and 17 to help bring the magic of a wish to the Vancouver Christmas Market. Those who generously make a donation at the ticket booths will receive a complimentary Season Pass to the Vancouver Christmas Market.
