Christmas lights still make me feel like a little girl. Nothing gets me more excited for the holiday season. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the media preview of the lights last night and it did not disappoint. There are lights as far as the eye can see, all seen from the comfort of your vehicle so its nice and toasty. Bring some hot chocolate in a mug, enjoy the lights, and say hello to the big guy himself, SANTA! We have a few Car Flex passes to giveaway to our lucky readers! Check out facebook and Instagram for details on how to enter!

BEST TIME TO VISIT
At the Canadian Tire Magic of Lights, Weekends are full of activity. During the ‘hustle & bustle’ of the holidays, many of our Guests choose to visit on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between 6:30 pm and 9:30 pm. Typically you will be enjoying the Magic of Lights in less than 20 mins, however, on occasion, there may be a delay. Your Family will enjoy the illuminated experience all in good Time.
For a more intimate Magical experience we recommend joining us Monday through Thursday, or coming early (5:00 pm-6: 30 pm) or after 9:30 pm on the weekends.
