Vancouver Christmas Market

The Vancouver Christmas Market is one of the best ways to get into the Christmas spirit. Inspired by authentic German Christmas markets, this holiday display is a fun place to hang out, grab a bite, and do a little Christmas shopping. For one month of the year, this market takes over Jacke Poole Plaza (right by the Olympic Cauldron). It's open during the day and the evening, so it's fun to check out any time of day. Warm yourself up with a hot mug of mulled wine and fill your belly with German dishes like spaetzle, schweinshaxe (a German pork dish), and other tasty options. While mom and dad sip some holiday cheer, kids will love riding the carousel. Also on the agenda? Live entertainment to keep spirits bright. The market is open from November 22 to December 24, 2017. Note, they close at 6pm on Christmas Eve.
