Start by riding the SeaBus from Waterfront Station. This 13-minute ride offers panoramic views of the Burrard Inlet. Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the picturesque Lonsdale Quay and the bustling Shipyards District, home to North Vancouver’s first-ever Christmas Market. This European-inspired market offers a variety of foods, from Portuguese to German, and even features Santa for photos.

For nature lovers, the Capilano Suspension Bridge is a must-visit. During the holiday season, the bridge and surrounding areas are transformed into a Christmas lights jungle. Make sure to dress warmly and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa at the nearby shops, which resemble a mini Christmas village. You can also head up to Grouse Mountain for The Peak of Christmas.

North Vancouver truly offers a winter wonderland-like experience, combining festive activities, stunning natural beauty, and convenient transit options. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this city has something to make your holiday season magical.
