The Vancouver Christmas Market 2025 transforms Jack Poole Plaza into a European-style holiday village, complete with artisan stalls, traditional German treats, live music, and breathtaking views of the Vancouver Harbour and the Olympic Cauldron.
This annual market is one of Vancouver’s top winter attractions, drawing visitors from all over the world. Whether you’re looking to sip warm glühwein, sample handmade chocolates, or browse unique local crafts, the market captures the true spirit of the season without the high price tag.
For travellers staying at our downtown Vancouver hostel, the market is just a short walk or quick SkyTrain ride away, making it an easy and affordable way to spend a magical evening in the city. Couples can enjoy a romantic stroll under thousands of lights, families will love the carousel and festive photo spots, and solo travellers can join in the lively atmosphere and connect with locals.
Local Tip: Visit on weekday evenings to avoid crowds, and don’t miss the “Lovers’ Lane” light tunnel — one of the most photographed spots in Vancouver during the holidays.
