What’s Included With My Vancouver Christmas Market Ticket?
When you secure your ticket to the Vancouver Christmas Market: A European Village, your admission is more than just a gate entry—it is a proud promise of a curated, unhurried winter experience on the downtown waterfront. Once you step inside, you are welcome to stay as long as you wish and enjoy several of our most iconic activations at no extra cost.
What is Included in Your Ticket:
- Unlimited Carousel Rides: Guests of all ages can enjoy unlimited spins on our nostalgic, waterfront Christmas Carousel.
- Santa’s Workshop & Photo Opportunities: Keep an eye out for Santa or one of our special holiday characters throughout the season. You may spot the Grinch, Elsa, Jack Frost, the Polar Bear, the Gingerbread Man, and our beloved mascots, Holly & Jolly around the Market. On Sundays, enjoy free storytelling with Mrs. Claus.
- Live Shows & Entertainment: Entertainment is built in throughout your visit: the Prost Show at 7pm, and Snow Showers every 30 minutes.
- Cinematic Sights: Walk through the dazzling Pyramid and tree lights. Watch the giant 35-foot Christmas Tree light show, wander beneath the illuminated canopy of Lovers' Lane, and experience the spectacular Snow Showers falling every 30 minutes.
- Artisan Shopping: Handcrafted treasures, winter keepsakes, and beautiful holiday gifts from over 90 of our authentic wooden huts.
- New 2026 Activations: Access interactive new zones like the Wishing Forest to leave your holiday wishes, gather around the crackling open flames at the Fire Pit Lounge, and pick up a free on-site vintage photo printout at Alley Press to remember your night.
- A Warm Welcome: Enjoy a sweet candy cane giveaway as an arrival ritual the moment you enter the village.
Please note that food and beverages, handcrafted treasures from our artisan huts, specialty holiday workshops, and premium ticketed experiences (such as Breakfast with Santa) are not included in your admission ticket and are available for purchase, or require separate bookings.
