In December, Montreal will be covered in a (clean) white coat, and even the orange cones will look a little like Christmas decorations…
Between the hyperglycemia of the candy-cane-chocolate-warm-cream-whip combination and the nostalgic disorientation of colorfully illuminated streets, December is going to be a very exciting month.
We’ve – and we’re making our December calendar a little early this year – already planned our most phantasmagorical holiday outings in town!
December calendar
November 27-December 21: Christmas Village at the Atwater Market
To buy our Christmas trees and present our babies to Santa, we’ll be at the Atwater Market – where we’ll also find all the ingredients for our holiday meals.
Where? At the Atwater Market
When? November 27 to December 21
How? free admission
December 5: last Supermoon of the year
At the stroke of midnight on December 5, we’ll be able to see the December full moon – and it will be “super”, and wider than usual…
December 21: A Charlie Brown Christmas -concert
Close your eyes and it’s as if you’ve fallen back into childhood at this concert by the Conservatoire de musique de la Montérégie…
Where? Cinquième Salle, Place des Arts
When? December 21 (2 performances)
How? Tickets here!
december 21: winter solstice
December 21 is the shortest day of the year – or the longest night, depending on which you prefer… It’s the winter solstice, between December 21 and 22. This used to be when we celebrated Christmas. After that, the days slowly start to get longer (already!).
and the whole month of December…
*Grand Marché de Noël at Place des Arts
For those who miss old Europe, and for those for whom the holiday season is synonymous with hot chocolate and fondue, this is the perfect market. Small wooden stalls, handicrafts and large glüwein marmittes? It’s going to be festive…
Where? Place des Arts
When? November 21 to January 4
How? free admission
Happy December!
