Hot Chocolate Hikes & Holiday Workshops

Take a walk through The Mill Restaurant and Pub's property. Enjoy a hot chocolate while you follow clues to get back to the restaurant. S'mores kits included in the ticket price and those 19+ years old have the option of enjoying a warming liqueur.

Santa Claus waving from stage at Christmas Magic in Cobourg

Winter Festivities in Cobourg

Experience Cobourg has planned a series of virtual community events that provide safe and fun activities for the entire family. There will be a Static Santa Claus Parade with floats on display at the north end of Victoria Park, in Rotary Harbourfront Park and at Cobourg Public Library. Floats will begin to move into place on December 4th and then local visitors and residents are invited to drive by and take in the spirit of the holidays. The tradition of Christmas Magic in Victoria Park and Rotary Harbourfront Park are continuing for 2020. Lights are on every evening until January 1st and the display is beautiful. Check out the new festive holiday "skaters" surrounding the rink at Rotary Harbourfront Park, where the rink will be open once temperatures allow.

Decorated Christmas trees

The 24th Annual Capitol Christmas

Organizers of this annual event have found a way to keep visitors safe with socially-distanced viewings on-site. If you're not able to visit in person, there is an interactive component as well that allows guests the ability to enjoy Capitol Christmas from home.

Tour the trees (and check out the theatre renovations) from November 12th to December 18th, take part in Festive Workshops on November 28th & 29th, visit Port Hope homes decorated for the holidays virtually on December 5th, 12th and 19th and enjoy additional festive programming from December 19th to 24th. Keep up to date with the latest at the link below.

Port Hope Candlelight Festival

The Candlelight Festival is an annual holiday experience that invites you to come and explore the seasonal transformation of downtown Port Hope beginning November 27.

Aligning with the government’s mandate to maintain physical distancing efforts, the 2020 Port Hope Candlelight Festival will be modified to include both virtual and self-guided exploration activities this year. As such, the marketplace is going virtual and the Candlelight Walk and park lighting ceremony have been cancelled. Check the link below for additional information on art installations and other events.

Visit Port Hope


 

Magic Under the Stars graphic

Magic Under the Stars

Experience Magic Under the Stars in the charming village of Warkworth. Friday evenings in December many of the shops will be open until 9:00 pm. Featuring Santa, holiday pop-up shops, mulled wine, hot chocolate, music, horse-drawn wagon rides, warming stations, raffles and more. Yule Love Warkworth, Ontario.

Santa's Christmas Celebration in Campbellford

Since Santa and his reindeer aren’t able to visit this year, he has called on the residents and businesses of Trent Hills to celebrate the holiday season with some extra-special decorating, with prizes awarded for the best displays. His elves will then create a route for you to take a self-guided driving or walking tour in this reverse parade (meaning you do the driving or walking of the route.) It all begins on the usual parade day, Saturday, November 28  at 1 p.m. and continues right up until Christmas.

Celebrate in Campbellford
