I just picked up the November edition of the Little Paper this week and it has an almost overwhelming list of Pre- Christmas activities for the whole family.
Check out the Little Paper website here for a full list but here is one that my family will certainly be visiting.
Toronto Christmas Market at the Distillery ( November 30th to December 16th)

I went to this market last year with some work friends and vowed to return this year with the family. It is, in a word, magical. It has the feeling of the Christmas markets that can be found all over Europe at this time of year and it really got me in the spirit of the season. There are vendors selling wonderful Christmas crafts and a wide array of food stalls of every description. There is also Santa’s Lane for the kids, which I didn’t visit last year but looked incredible.
