Even with all the merry and cheerful spirit, the holidays are stressful, and sometimes, you just need an escape. But with all the family obligations and holiday parties, it’s hard to get away for longer than a night. Luckily, we got your back this winter season!
here are the best day trips to take this holiday season.
Oakville
Downtown Oakville is an underrated winter oasis. The downtown strip is filled with local shops and a massive Christmas tree begging to be Instagrammed. We recommend grabbing a hot chocolate and taking a walk along the lakeshore neighbourhood to check out the historic (and stunning) homes.
Niagara-On-The-Lake
This 19th-century village is the perfect relaxing day trip destination. Spend the day stroll through the downtown core and perusing the charming local shops. At night, dine at quaint restaurants and buy yourself a bottle of wine from one of the famous wineries before you head home.
Algonquin Park
For the outdoorsy type, Algonquin Park is your winter haven. Grab some cross-country skis (or for the less athletic, snowshoes) and explore the stunning grounds. You might even see some incredible wildlife. A Rudolph spotting perhaps?
Blue Mountain
Blue Mountain is a perfect getaway to take with your best friend or partner. Get a day pass and tackle the ski hills together, then hit up the chalet for dinner and drinks, and even grab a beaver tail for dessert. Really, could a better winter’s day exist? You might even run into some wildlife!
Rattlesnake Point
The name may sound intimidating but Rattlesnake Point is an awesome day date. Get out there and explore what this beautiful conservation area has to offer. From stunning views to fun events, this is a great day trip option!
Toronto
Whether it’s skating at the harbourfront or heading to Chinatown to explore, there are an endless amount of fun activities to do in Toronto. And if you’re a local, be a tourist in your own city. Don’t forget about all the holiday markets you can explore. You might be surprised just how different you look at it after the day’s done.
Elora
Check out the 80-foot limestone cliffs that descend into the frozen Grand and Irvine Rivers. The perfect spot for adventure enthusiasts who want to take in the natural beauty of the area. It’s an especially stunning sight in the winter. The Elora village has an old-world charm and century-old buildings that have been restored into gift shops, unique galleries, and adorable restaurants. If you haven’t been, it’s definitely worth checking out
Eugenia
Situated in the tiny town of Eugenia, the area encompasses 23 hectares of the Niagara Escarpment. The all-season trail wraps along the edge of ‘Cuckoo Valley’ with excellent views of the 30m high waterfall. If you’re feeling like a brisk hike, it’s a pretty stunning sight once everything is frozen. Beware of steep cliffs but enjoy the amazing views. You can even rent an Airbnb nearby and enjoy toasting s’mores by the fire if you’re looking to extend your day trip!
Newmarket
If you can’t get enough of those festive Christmas movies, then head up to Newmarket to visit the town where some of them were filmed. Located just 45 minutes north of Toronto, Newmarket is a no-brainer when it comes to an idyllic holiday-themed day trip. If you can believe it, 7 holiday made-for-TV movies were filmed here, including A Very Country Christmas, Christmas Wedding Planner, My Perfect Romance, Christmas in Paris, and more. For the ultimate movie-lovers tour through Newmarket, head to Holland Marsh Winery, Fairy Lake, Little Brew Hops, and the Pink Flamingo.
Prince Edward County
Escape to The County this holiday season for a picturesque day trip unlike any other. While Prince Edward County is highly popular and visited throughout the summer, it’s a day trip destination that shouldn’t be overlooked come winter. Pop by Drake Devonshire for all the cozy vibes while enjoying a good meal, stop by a local winery, and even go for a cross-country ski!

Fall weekend getaways are best spent in cozy accommodations with a fire flickering and all the rustic vibes. Fortunately, there are a number of amazing spots just outside of Toronto to enjoy some rest and relaxation. There’s nothing better than waking up into a picturesque setting in a comfortable bed and enjoying delicious homemade food. And each of these getaways is situated in a region where there’s lots to do during the day before you come back to retire at night. If you’re in need of a little escape, here are 5 weekend getaways to take this fall.
1. The Woodbourne Inn, Niagara-on-the-Lake
Nestled in the charming region of Niagara-on-the-Lake (and just a short walk/drive from beautiful vineyards), The Woodbourne Inn is the most idyllic place to get away this fall. With just eight rooms, it offers a quaint and quiet escape from city life. Each room is totally unique with its own gorgeous design and a beautiful bathroom (most of them with a tub). In the morning, you’re woken up with a homemade muffin, fresh orange juice, and coffee of your choice delivered to your door, followed by a delicious homemade breakfast downstairs. Sound like a dream? It is.

2. The June Motel, Prince Edward County
Perfect for a weekend getaway with the girls, The June is the prettiest little motel around. The 16-room vintage treasure was designed with lively patterns and good vibes in mind. Each room has its own unique bohemian touch for a stay that’s just as trendy as it is comfortable. Grab a drink at their lobby bar, where you can mix and mingle around the fireplace; grab a bike to explore nearby restaurants and wineries, and sign up for their famous Detox Retox yoga class to get your zen on.
3. Northridge Inn, Muskoka
If you’ve been craving a charming rustic getaway with a picturesque lakefront view, the Northridge Inn is the place to be. They have 20 lodge accommodations and four lakeside chalets, all of which offer intimacy, comfort, and the most gorgeous lake-inspired design. Hang out and grab a drink in the cozy Copper Fox Lounge after a day of outdoor activities and retreat to your bedroom to light your wood burning fireplace for ultimate relaxation.
4. Killarney Lodge, Algonquin Park
Algonquin Park is one of the most gorgeous provincial parks near Toronto and is filled with numerous trails to explore and get lost in. Killarney Lodge offers nature-lovers the most beautiful stay for their adventurous weekend getaway. Each cabin at Killarney Lodge is completely unique, but all of them feature warmth, a water view, and the use of canoe if you fancy. Your lodging also includes three delicious meals a day in their fine country dining room.

5. The Wilfrid Boutique Farmhouse, Prince Edward County
A restored 1850’s farmhouse B&B and vineyard, The Wilfrid Boutique Farmhouse is the ideal place to relax and wind down. You have your choice of three rooms in this adult-only oasis, and you can make yourself at home in the guest living room or sit out by the fire. Every morning they put out a breakfast spread and cook up locally sourced food, and you can spend your days checking out the nearby vineyards, hanging at Sandbank beaches and walking Picton Main Street, just a short drive away.
