The Vancouver Christmas Market 2025 returns to Jack Poole Plaza for its 15th Anniversary, bringing back the warmth and wonder of a traditional European-style holiday celebration. From sparkling lights and delicious food to artisan gifts and family fun, this festive favourite is one of Vancouver’s most magical holiday experiences.

📅 Dates: November 13 – December 24, 2025

A European-Style Christmas Market

Inspired by the centuries-old markets of Germany, the Vancouver Christmas Market features charming wooden huts, each filled with handcrafted gifts, festive décor, and culinary delights.

At the centre of the market stands the illuminated Christmas Pyramid, a multi-tiered wooden tower that lights up the plaza. From its Flying Stage, live performers and choirs entertain guests with festive music throughout the season. And of course, no visit is complete without enjoying a warm mug of Glühwein—authentic German mulled wine.
