Best Places to Celebrate the Holidays in Toronto (2025 Guide)

"Since 1929, this Toronto landmark has celebrated the holidays in grand style, and this year the property is transformed into an enchanted winter estate: snow-dusted evergreens, illuminated reindeer and Victorian-style lampposts at the entrances, with a towering tree and giant nutcrackers filling the Grand Lobby. Tucked behind white iron gates, the lobby lounge Clockwork Champagne & Cocktails pours a Festive Afternoon Tea in partnership with Jo Malone London three times daily through January 4, where guests snack on sweet and savory bites to live piano. Festive menus and cocktails like the Royal Tannenbaum old-fashioned and the tiki-style Snowbird Holiday appear across the hotel’s dining venues, alongside family-friendly programming such as gingerbread cookie decorating." - Julia Eskins
