It’s officially December and Santa will be sliding down the chimney at the end of this month. Are you celebrating the Holidays in Whistler?
Whistler is a special place, but during the holidays, Whistler becomes a magical snowy village. Whether you are a local or a tourist there are lots of festive events to get you into the holiday spirit.
EXPLORE
Explore an enchanted forest filled with hidden wonders. Vallea Lumina is an immersive experience, created by Moment Factory, that words cannot truly describe. It is a multimedia experience that will ignite your senses and your playful side.
Local’s tip: Extend your experience by enjoying hot chocolate and smores by the fire out at Cougar Mountain basecamp.
Explore the Whistler backcountry by sky or land with The Adventure Group. Soar through the air on Superfly Ziplines, recharge in the peacefulness of the forest on a snowshoe tour, or experience the thrill of ripping through old-growth forests on a snowmobile.

RESET
December 26th – 31st – this is the time of year when everyone is full of yule log and mulled wine. It’s time to rest and rejuvenate (we recommend the spa at whistler) and do some online shopping (hello boxing day sales) and get ready to say goodbye to 2023 in style.
Happy Holidays everyone!
