This holiday season in Toronto celebrated the romance and magic of a traditional Christmas at Lowe’s Toronto Christmas Market. This free annual event captured all of the tradition and charm of European Christmas Market, while showcasing hundreds of unique and local handcrafted products. There were different kinds of entertainment such as musicians, carolers and children’s choirs to Santa’s workshop where kids had the chance to meet Santa.
What is Christmas Market?: Christmas market is a street market associated with the celebration of Christmas during the four weeks leading up Christmas. These markets originated in Germany, beginning in the early 1400’s, and now have been being held in many countries all over the world.

They sold many types of Christmas gifts, especially traditional items such as crib figurines, toys, wood carvings, hand-made ornaments, candles and holiday memorabilia. We enjoyed eating French Canadian Poutine, hot dogs, grilled sausages and other tasty snacks as well.

A lot of people visited this event! They were charmed with the Christmas lights, and enjoyed different kinds of entertainment. The foods all were really good. This Christmas market is over, but Christmas is almost here in Toronto! Hope you will have a wonderful Christmas season!
