Celebrate the Holidays in the Mountains.
Snow falls gently, lights twinkle through dark winter nights, and the spirit of the season surrounds us. It’s a time for peace, love, family, and friends. But not everyone prefers a traditional home for the holidays celebration. Some seek joy with a change of scenery, leaving the cooking, decorating, and festivities to someone else. If that sounds like you, we’ve got a few perfect suggestions. Whether you’re after a romantic couple’s escape or a fun-filled family trip, Canada’s Mountain Resorts offers four fabulous festive Christmas vacations.
