2. Montreal, Canada

Arts and entertainment take centre stage in Montreal’s Christmas celebrations. Witness holiday magic at the Les Grands Ballets performance of the Nutcracker, or immerse yourself in Old Montreal’s Extravaganza festival. Here a traditional Christmas village highlights the Yuletide season with a full-fledged European market, outdoor Christmas carols, horse-drawn carriage rides, an exhibition of Santa Clauses and a tour of nativity scenes created by local and foreign artisans.
