Canadian winters can be brutal, typically seeing sub-zero temperatures and high-wind chills. Weather aside, Toronto in January can be the ultimate time to visit for snow lovers and cold-weather fun.
Shopping
Toronto is already a great shopping city, but being after the holiday season and with tourism on the lower side, there will be plenty of deals in the downtown shopping centers. The Toronto Eaton Center, Bloor-Yorkville, China Town and Queen Street tend to be the more popular destinations for great shopping.
Winterlicious
From Jan. 27– Feb. 9, more than 220 top-tier restaurants will participate in the winter foodie festival, Winterlicious. This winter-fest brings out unique and artful cuisine by top chefs, showing off Canada’s finest cuisine. This year marks the 150th celebration and Winterlicious will be among the can’t-miss events.
Niagara Falls Icewine Festival
From Jan. 13–15, enjoy lavish gala events and award-winning wines all with the gorgeous views of Niagara Falls during the Icewine Festival. Celebrate the event opening with the Sugar & Spice … Everything Ice event at the Fallsview Casino Resort.
Hockey
Get sporty for the Maple Leaf’s 100th anniversary celebration. To celebrate their centennial year, the Maple Leafs will host an outdoor game as part of the NHL Centennial Classic. If outdoor hockey in January isn’t your speed, head indoors to Wayne Gretzky’s sports bar.
Toronto Light Fest
Head to the Distillery District for the Toronto Light fest, dining and shopping. See international light artists’ work displayed from Jan. 27–March 19, for an illuminated view of the dark, Canadian winter nights.
