Canada at Christmas without a car

[Robinrbst]

Any recommendations? I don't really want to fly over 7/8 hours for a week long trip.

Montreal? Quebec city? Or Toronto and Niagara falls? I head vancouver island is amazing, but that would be a longer flight I'm guessing?

Any tips or ideas, or anyone ever done Canada for Christmas I'd love to hear from you.

I've done new york/Boston at Christmas before.

Is there a specific reason why you chose Canada at Christmas? I live in Toronto, and I wouldn’t really recommend it for Christmas. The run up to Christmas in most Canadian cities is nice in a commercial N. American kind of way and after Christmas (Jan, Feb, March) is more reliable for snow / outdoor skating / skiing etc.
Maybe the Rockies e.g. Banff/ Lake Louise would be good, but spendy 🤔

Wherever you choose, you'll need to book it asap. Desirable hotels fill up, and their restaurants take reservations for Christmas dinner.

I'd personally choose Quebec.

no really really no.

so many statutory holidays with everything closed. montreal can be so slushy with mud colored snow (not pretty at all).
i'd wait to see quebec during the carnival. it's a tiny miniscule city so better if you don't have a car.
vancouver and vancouver island get no snow (and when they do everything is chaos and closed) just wet.
even the ski slope partially close on christmas eve, christmas day, boxing day.
sorry but maybe the fact i have lived in mtl, qc, and close enough to van to know my view is jaded. i don't even encourage my own kids to travel over christmas extremely unreliable airports and transport.
