Langley has its own European-style Christmas market this year. Langley Christmas Village opens in downtown Langley City on Thursday, November 26, 2026 and runs every day until Christmas Eve, with timber chalets, Glühwein, a 36-foot Christmas tree, Santa’s Chalet and a pop-up curling rink. It’s free to get in, and it comes from the team behind North Vancouver’s Shipyards Christmas Market, so the Fraser Valley finally gets the same kind of night out without the drive to the North Shore.

What’s at the Village
Food and Drink
Glühwein brewed in cauldrons, cider and the village’s own Christmas beer, plus European eats like Dutch poffertjes and Schwenker-grilled bratwurst. Collectors will want the keepsake Glühwein mug, sold only at the village’s info booth while quantities last.
Shopping
Chalets run by BC makers, with German toys and teddies, winter accessories and seasonal home décor. Some vendors stay all season and others pop up for shorter runs, so it’s worth a second visit.
Santa and the Tree
Santa’s Chalet sits beside the 36-foot tree, with free photos with Santa. There’s also carol-oke and a Magical Sleigh Ride VR experience.
Curling Under the Lights
The headline extra: a pop-up curling rink in the middle of the village, open every day of the season. Sheets hold up to eight players, equipment is included and no experience is needed. It’s by booking only, at $90 per sheet per hour.
Food Tour
A guided tasting walk through the food chalets, Glühwein in hand, for $90 per person. Dates are still to be announced.
Getting There and Parking
The village is at 20340 Fraser Highway in downtown Langley City. Parking is free after 5:00 PM on Douglas Crescent, and there’s a shuttle from Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Langley campus. If you’re coming from Vancouver, plan on about an hour by car.
Tips
- Book curling early. Evening and weekend sheets will be the first to go.
- Go on a weeknight for shorter lines at the food chalets.
- Bring cash or a card for the mug. The keepsake mugs are limited.
- Make it a Langley night. Glow Langley and Merry & Bright at Martini Town are both a short drive away.
