The Best Holiday Events and Activities in Vancouver

Go back in time as a family when you visit Heritage Christmas at Burnaby Village Museum. You will experience what Christmas would have been like back in the day as you wander through this open-air museum. Heritage Christmas is spectacular to see both during the day and at night when all the lights are twinkling. Make your way through the whole of the museum by taking part in their 12 days of Christmas challenge, working together as a family to complete the scavenger hunt that is based on the classic Christmas song. Be sure to visit Father Christmas and get a photo as a family with him—he's all dressed up in his period costume outfit. Don't forget to write your name down on his nice list too. A great way to wrap up your visit at Heritage Christmas is by going for a ride on the carousel. This event is a great reminder that the holidays do not need to be complicated, simple is just as beautiful and memorable.
Free gate admission. Carousel rides are $2.65 each. More info at burnabyvillagemuseum.ca.
