O Christmas lights! Spectacular illuminations in Toronto and worldwide

The Christmas rush is all around us. But have you taken some time to marvel at the light show in your city or neighbourhood?

As the sun begins to set and darkness envelops the earth, magical Christmas lights illuminates the night sky.

While some say no one does Christmas better than Europe, you don’t have to travel that far to gaze at the festive lights. Just head down to your local street, to Nathan Phillips Square, the Toronto Christmas Market, or Parliament Hill.

If you are travelling to Europe this holiday season, there are plenty of lights displays that will surely make you do the happy dance.
