Toronto's world-famous Distillery District Winter Village officially kicked off its Christmas countdown on Thursday, bringing lots of festive lights, local food vendors, and the highly anticipated lighting ceremony for its massive Christmas tree to the cobblestone streets of the former Gooderham & Worts distillery. Social media users have flagged a website, "tochristmasmarket.com," which appears to be selling fake tickets to the Winter Village. Many flagged that tickets for the Distillery Winter Village are only sold through the official website, with general admission tickets running for $18.65 and express gate entry tickets totalling $37.29. Officials are urging visitors to rely on the only official website for ticket sales (www.thedistillerywintervillage.com), for authentic purchases, and event information. The Distillery Winter Village is on now until Jan. 4, 2026.
