Cirque Du Soleil: Kooza is in town for only a few

Cirque Du Soleil: Kooza is in town for only a few short weeks and this is one show you won’t want to miss! Revitalizing the essence of traditional circus customs, the production seamlessly intertwines acrobatic prowess with the refined artistry of clowning. This heart stopping show delivers both thrill and laughter in an captivating way that introduces the audience to the magic of the circus. Running now until December 31st, pop a visit to Under the Big Top under the tree this year as a must-see family experience. —> https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/kooza

I hesitate to say but this may have been one of my favourite @cirquedusoleil shows I’ve seen with A yet! Have you been? What was your favourite Cirque Du Soleil show?

G I F T A W A Y // enter to win 4 tickets to experience Snow White at the Waterfront Theatre on @granville_island!

Carousel Theatre for Young People presents a wickedly funny reinterpretation of the classic fairytale Snow White, on stage at Granville Island's Waterfront Theatre for the holiday season, from Nov 29-Dec 31, 2023.

The fresh spin on the epic tale sees two actors whimsically embody the story's full cast of beloved characters, including the handsome prince, malicious queen, helpful dwarf, and the pure-hearted Snow White herself.

Hailed as "imaginative and energetic" by the Toronto Star, this play brings out all the best parts of the Brothers Grimm narrative while offering a fun twist that will delight audiences of all ages.

SANTA has landed at @thecityoflougheed! //

I haven’t been to the North Pole at Lougheed in a few years and wow, stunning and insta worthy would be an understatement! We were invited to visit Santa yesterday and I could not stop staring at the sky high Christmas tree in beautiful green hues, a perfect little photo spot to visit before or after you visit Santa.

I don’t have many years left of photos with Santa, I was quite chuffed that A was willing to jump into a photo with Santa & I this year, we’ll definitely cherish this memory.

Create magic moments with Santa this holiday season with The City of Lougheed and North Pole Picture Co. Reservations are recommended. Walk-ins are welcome however appointments are given priority. Space is limited so book ahead of the rush! Visit @thecityoflougheed website to book. Happening now until December 24.

The City Of Lougheed will also be hosting complimentary live entertainment in December from Fridays - Saturdays, in addition to choir performances from local schools and groups happening Friday, December 8 - Friday, December 15. Full schedule of holiday happening details can be found at www.thecityoflougheed.com/events/

Does your family visit Santa early to beat the rush?

It’s the most magical time of year, Christmas li

It’s the most magical time of year, Christmas lights are literally my favourite thing ever and @vandusengarden Festival of Lights is in my top 3 for places to enjoy them with friends & family.

Enjoy 15 acres of transformed botanical gardens with over 1 million beautiful twinkling lights. Get into the holiday spirit with my personal favourite - Dancing Lights! With 3 dancing light sets this year, happening every 20 minutes from the top of the hour, you can watch the lake be transformed into a spectacular light show!

Leave time to explore themed light areas (candy cane lane is my favourite!), and savour tasty treats from a variety of food vendors on location.

Make sure to take a left just after Anna’s Pond to visit the Scottish Shelter and light a candy for @makeawish_canada Make-A-Wish! Did you know that there are currently 600 children waiting for their wishes to be granted? Your donations go directly to gifting the most magical experiences to kids and their families in need.

Happening now until January 7th, grab your timed tickets online and bask in the magical lights in time for the holidays.

Things to know//
- Parking on location is free, but scarce. Public transit or ride share is recommended. We often park in the surrounding neighborhood and walk
- The park and most areas are wheelchair, stroller and walker friendly.
- Lots of food options on location at various price points (the popcorn is delish!)

Have you been to the Festival of Lights?

It’s pressure like a drip, drip, drip that’ll never stop, whoa // This is your sign that you don’t need to make @disneyonice just about the kids friends, there may have been a group of us, grown women, belting out Disney hits like “We don’t talk about Bruno”, “Let it Go” and more at the very top of our lungs having the very best time at yesterday’s show and it filled ALL our buckets with joy! °o°

Disney On Ice is in Vancouver for a few short days, but don’t fret, there is still time to catch one of the shows before they are gone.

This year’s show was by far one of my favourites, Frozen + Encanto, two of my very favourite musical scores and the best characters! Enjoy Anna & Elsa and the family Madrigal telling their stories about family, love and connection... all while flying in the air, and dodging skating donkeys. Yes, you read that right. Donkeys.

Have you been to a Disney On Ice show? Which is your favourite character to see on the ice?

It’s the most wonderful time of year! //

We visited Holly & Jolly and all the @vanchristmas family to check out the 2023 Christmas Market offerings and I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’d have to say this is the best year yet! So many of my own personal favourite vendors, a great mix of gift ideas, and as always, the perfect food pairings to enjoy with your Gluhwein, Kinderpunsch or warm apple cider.

A few of my fave vendors you won’t want to miss checking out —> @thosepretzels , @crimpandcrumb (get to her before the end of the season if you’re hoping for gifts, she is selling FAST!), @bonmacaronpatisserie , @kenziecards , @themaplerushyt (I won a gift pack from them last year and it is the BEST maple syrup I’ve ever tasted), @mixologistsbartending , @kygun, @slowbottledsunday , @thomakisyogurt & Zotter Chocolates!

Although these are my faves, there really isn’t a single booth you won’t want to stop at to check out the beautiful gift ideas from around the world.

Make sure to grab your timed tickets online to avoid disappointment, and check out the entertainment and promotions tabs on the website to plan your visit around the must-see, must-do activities on your list.

Happy Holidays! :)

🎄 // G I V E ⭐️ A W A Y

The holiday season officially kicks off for our family with a visit to @capilanosuspensionbridge and this year is no different! #CanyonLights is one of my favourite ways to enjoy millions of twinkling lights and time with family. We’re excited to partner with Capilano Suspension Bridge Park to gift one lucky family a 4 pack of tickets to take in the stunning light displays spanning the 450ft bridge and throughout the entire park! (Passes are not valid from December 15-January 7).

Canyon Lights transforms Capilano Suspension Bridge Park into an unforgettable family-friendly holiday light experience. Cross the world-famous bridge, lit end-to-end with a multi-colour display above the illuminated Capilano River and canyon. Journey into a magical glowing rainforest and walk high above the forest floor on the glittering Treetops Adventure. Finally, wind your way along the twinkling cliffside pathway of Cliffwalk. Capture Instagram-worthy moments, take part in the scavenger hunt, sip a decadent hot chocolate while you listen to live holiday tunes and explore the fun festive activities that await you.

We love family traditions that give back to our community, and once again @capilanosuspensionbridge is donating partial proceeds from #CanyonLights to the @bcburnfund , which to date, they have donated nearly $500,000! Admissions also help Capilano continue to host the Twelve Nights of Christmas, offering passes to local charities including one of our favourites, @bigsistersbclm!

SANTA! //

If you know me, Christmas is kinda my jam. I was so excited to be invited by our friends at @metropolisatmet for a preview of their holiday happenings around the mall, and some of the top gift ideas from mall partners.

🎅 Did you know that Metropolis at Metrotown will have a unique Santa experience this year? Guests can enjoy visiting with diverse perspectives of Santa including Father Christmas, Global Santa, Kris Kringle and even Tropical Santa for meet-and-greets and photo sessions. Partial proceeds from Santa photos will benefit the Burnaby Christmas Bureau, an incredible program that aims to help make the Christmas magic happen for many local in-need families.

🎁 From December 1-24th, hit up the charity gift wrap station in support of another favourite of ours - Burnaby Neighborhood House.

😇 Channel The Spirit of Giving by donating toys to local families with the December 9th toy drive, hosted by the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society.

⭐️ If anyone needs to know what to get me, I take a size white weighted bear from @qehome and they are currently on sale for bogo 50% off so get me 2, k?

Are Santa photos a tradition in your family? Or are you like me, and it’s a friend tradition? Hah!
