It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

The halls have been decked, there’s a chill in the air and the warm, cozy comforts of the holiday season are starting to pop-up everywhere around the city.

With those holiday comforts even more important this year – like enjoying nights by the fire with a warm blanket, or decorating your home, to finding gifts that spread holiday cheer, or even being surrounded by family – downtown Victoria’s Bay Centre has all of your favourites under one roof.

From floors of brightly decorated trees to sipping hot apple cider in a Winter Wonderland, here are 5 festive events you won’t want to miss at the Bay Centre this holiday season:
