If a winter road trip is on your docket this year, then the picturesque Ontario city of Stratford is a good candidate to pay a visit before the festive season officially comes to an end. Stratford, known for its arts and culture, transforms into a scene straight out of the movies around this time of year. The immersive display showcases works by talented artists from across Canada, and this year marks its sixth annual edition in the city. And, of course, no festive season in Stratford would be complete without the Stratford Christmas Parade — complete with floats and a procession through town — which officially kicks off the city's holiday celebrations. For those who may want to visit in the new year, Stratford WinterFest is a staple event in January, acting as a big finale to the winter festivities.
