The holiday season is always magical, but step inside the Toronto Christmas Market that opens today, and it’s like living in a European Christmas village. But in addition to the charm and Christmas magic, there’s also a wide assortment of holiday treats available from a variety of vendors that’ll make your experience at the market even sweeter.
From classic Canadian poutine, to Belgian-style waffles, the Toronto Christmas Market has all your fave holiday treats available in spades.
Cacao 70 Express
There’s something magical about strolling through the snow with a hot chocolate in your hands. Need something sweet treat? Cacao 70 Express’ chocolatey crepes, and warm cinnamon sugar churro donuts are equally as delicious.
Schnitzel Haus
Live out your Euro market fantasy with Schnitzel Haus’ Pork Schnitzel that’s served with pickled peppers and caramelized onions on a pretzel bun. New this year is its plant-based Beyond Bratwurst made from Beyond Meat.
Lil Arvo
A sister to Arvo Coffee, a staple in the Distillery since 2016, Lil Arvo is a chocolate fondue popup that will be using only the best ingredients and serving exclusive drinks for Christmas Market goers.

Santa’s BBQ
Thought barbecue season was over? Think again because we hear that Santa loves a Bratwurst. This is the place to go for all things meat with offerings ranging from hot dogs, thick-cut smoked bacon sandwiches, and Beyond Bratwurst sausage, to jumbo pretzels, traditional german pork jerky, and even grilled corn.

Nothing is better than a warm and cozy meal on a chilly winters day. Warm up with Winter Warmers and its pierogies or split pea and ham soup.
