Events Description
More than 330 vendors will bring an extraordinary selection of locally crafted or sourced gifts and festive food to the Market, from handcrafted jewelry and original art to artisan chocolates and Christmas ornaments. Across European-inspired market shops and cozy indoor shopping halls, guests can discover something special for everyone on their Christmas lists.
Among the Christmas Market’s treasures are Spruce Meadows Exclusives: one-of-a-kind finds only available here. It’s a chance to surprise a loved one with a truly unique gift while exploring the work of local makers and independent artisans. Between shops, guests can enjoy seasonal food and drinks, surrounded by beautifully decorated Christmas trees and dazzling lights illuminating the grounds. Christmas music and crackling fires add to the magic, with real reindeer making appearances on select days.
This year, the Christmas Market is making room for even more holiday shopping. The new Riding Hall Circle Pavilion adds an entirely new area to explore, featuring more than 30 vendors.
Christmas shopping becomes a night out with new Adults-Only Friday evenings. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. each Friday, guests aged 18 and older can make a date of it or gather friends for an evening of gift shopping, seasonal food and holiday cocktails.
Miracle at the Meadows, the Christmas-themed pop-up cocktail bar created in collaboration with Proof Cocktail Bar, will serve holiday cocktails in a cabin setting overflowing with festive décor.

I was at the Chrismas Market, yesterday (nov 28, 2015) the atmosphere and settings were just beautiful. So MANY vendors, it takes at least half a day to see it all. A couple things I need to mention….How to get disabled people in the gates, with minimal walking(I had a person with crutches and a 18 year old with a cane) when we were parking in the first lot, the lot attendant did not know of any gate drop off. As a result, we walked with our two disabled members of our party all the way from first lot! Half way there, there was a litte shelter and a sign that said shuttle for people needing assistance, but this was way to far after we walked most of the way there. As well, we didn’t know (or see any shuttle) is it to get from parking area to that shelter? Or from the shelter to the gates? While shopping and enjoying the day, we made a plan that we will drive up to the other gate to pick them up…(as we saw from inside the park that there was a beautiful drive about, perfect for dropping people off at.) however after Myself and the driver got back to our car, we couldn’t find how to get there….we ended up driving through “restricted, employees only area” and got as close to our friends as we could. Proper signage “gate drop off” would help out emensly!!! As well as lot attendants knowing where it is! As our party was not the only disabled people, let alone elderly, for drop off. I saw lots hobbling out with canes and crutches. Very sad. As well, Food was WAY TO EXPENSIVE,” we ordered lunch by the Telus photo booth. 2 Turkey pies, 2 Apple strudels and a hot chocolate (w/ baileys) and 1 bottle of water $41.68. Seriously. I know it’s there to make money, but WOW. Then standing there with our tray, of food, cane and crutches, and all 12 tables full. 1000’s and 1000’s of people on site, and only minimal indoor seating.
