Toronto Christmas Market

We headed out to the Toronto Christmas Market this past weekend. It's supposed to be similar to a German Christmas market, in that it's outside, there are hung lights everywhere, there's mulled wine to drink, and lots of shopping to do.


We didn't have any of the wine but we did find raclette! Raclette is a type of cheese from Switzerland that is melted and then eaten over meat, potatoes, pickles, baby corn, onions, and more. It is SO DELICIOUS! We've had it twice before and there was no way we (specifically John) was going to miss out on another opportunity. So, we stood in line for 30 minutes and then dived into raclette over french fries.


The market was held in Toronto's Distillery District, a tiny neighborhood that has amazing old buildings. Now most of the buildings house art galleries. There was one called Cubic Works that contained art made of Rubik's Cubes. Did you know they were invented in Toronto?


Some of Santa's reindeer made it for the evening!


Merry Christmas!
