CANADA
I’ve been lucky enough to spend two Christmases in Canada now and I don’t think you can get much more festive! In Winnipeg, you’re guaranteed a white Christmas. It’s absolutely breathtaking and there’s so much to do. We went tubing and snowmobiling, spent a day at the hot springs, and even rode in a one-horse open sleigh.
We stayed in the city for a few nights and went to see the Assiniboine Park Zoo, which was a real highlight of the trip. The zoo only takes in rescues and you can see up to seven polar bears in a huge exhibit. Besides seeing the animals, there’s a Zoo Lights festival at night. It was stunning but make sure to wrap yourselves up as it was minus 18 degrees when we went – not that we could tell once we got a beavertail pastry (look it up) to keep us warm!
Another highlight of the city was Thermëa by Nordik Spa-Nature – such a great spa day. We had a giggle running from pool to pool in minus 25 degrees and watching our hair freeze. If you have time, head out to one of the lakes and rent a cottage. Nothing like it – it’s magical. I stayed with family for the trip, so unfortunately I don’t have any recommendations for accommodation, but I’ve heard that there are some great spots in the city.
