Toronto is gearing up for the festive season, and part of that means the return of the annual Distillery Winter Village — better known as the Christmas Market — one of the city's most magical holiday attractions known to draw crowds to the Distillery District.
The 2025 edition has already unveiled a Narnia-inspired Santa's Village, and there are more surprises in store.
According to Rik Ocvirk, Vice President of The Distillery Restaurants Corp. and Director of Experiences and Events at The Distillery Historic District, "Many of The Distillery Winter Village favourites are back this year — from Santa's Village to the Naughty or Nice Bar to our famous photo ops."
The Distillery Winter Village runs from Nov. 13, 2025, through Jan. 4, 2026, with the tree-lighting ceremony taking place at 6 p.m. on opening night.
The Distillery Winter Village takes place at 55 Mill Street.
