Your Guide to Vancouver’s 2025 Craft and Holiday Markets

Unique pop-ups, handmade goods and festive European charm abound at Vancouver’s holiday markets this December.

Part of the appeal of the holiday season is delighting in the cheer shows up in winter events and markets. Lit up, tree-lined streets, bows and garland decorating storefronts and the multitude of pop-up markets that show off the wares of local makers, artists and designers. Vancouver has no shortage of those, so we’ve rounded up the holiday markets we’re most excited to check out this winter (and at a few of them, with a cider or hot chocolate in hand). Plus, you’ve gotta get out there if you want to find the perfect gifts for the people in your life.
