Winterfest at Canada's Wonderland - November 16th, 2025

 On Sunday, November 16th, Scott and I hung out with our friend Amadeo and his friends Joseph and Sarah for a fun evening of Winterfest at Canada's Wonderland! ❄️🎄

We had a great time checking out the shows, lights, food, and some rides! It was a perfect way to kick-off the Christmas season! Be sure to enjoy the photos from our great evening at the park! 🙂

Scott and I arrived at the park just before 3pm for an evening of Winterfest.

Jack Frost and other Winterfest characters greeted guests as they entered through the gate!

International Street always looks so nice, especially during Winterfest once the sun goes down.

Many trees and lights were lining International Street at usual.

There are many Christmas decorations spread throughout the park.

Scott and I did a ride on Thunder Run followed by a ride on Taxi Jam! We were the only ones on it at the time!😂

Here are some Christmas carolers singing some classic Christmas songs in Charlie Brown's Christmas Town.

Here's Scott with Linus and Sally!

While in Charlie Brown's Christmas Town we took a ride no Boo Blasters. We then headed back over to North Pole (Action Zone and Grande World Exposition of 1890) to watch the Polar Party hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Tanenbaum. It is a fun interactive show that we enjoyed last year, so I made sure to see it again this year!

Part way through the show, they get guests to dance. I joined in! Sadly Scott didn't get a photo of me dancing to a Christmas themed song to the tune of the YMCA! 🤣

These trucks are always a nice touch.

These snowmen were having a good time despite there being no snow!

After the Polar Party, we headed over to see the Cool Yule show.

It is a nice sing and dance show featuring many Christmas songs.

Afterwards, we met up with Amadeo, Sarah, and Joseph at Lazy Bear Lodge for a meal. I forgot to take a photo of my turkey dinner when I got it, so here it is partway through! 🤣 I had a side of stuffing with my meal. It was very tasty as the turkey was very tender! 😋

After a delicious meal at Lazy Bear Lodge, we headed over to International Street to see the Tree Lighting Ceremony that happens every night of Winterfest at 5:30pm.

Here's a family plugging in the lights during the Tree Lighting Ceremony!

Once plugged in, International Street turns into a beautiful Christmassy sight!

In my opinion, this year's Tree Lighting Ceremony was better than last year's.

The performers did a great job!

International Street is just beautiful this time of year!

There's just so many dazzling lights!

Wonder Mountain always looks good with its twinkling waterfall lights!

We decided to all take a ride on Thunder Run followed by a couple of rides on Klockwerks!

Yuletide Village (Medieval Faire) is home to many lights, costumed characters, and some rides.

It is also home to the Christmas Market. Here is a look at the light tunnel that lines the path!

The light tunnel has many colour changing lights.

The Christmas Market is home to many vendors and is a great way to warm up!

Here's a look at the Christmas decorations on Canterbury Theatre where we caught the Tinker's Toy Factory show.

The show features many acrobatic stunts, singing, and dancing.

Tinker's Toy Factory always plays to a full house, so be sure to arrive before the show starts to get a seat!

At the end of the show, Santa arrives to celebrate the success of the elves.

The cast of Tinker's Toy Factory always does a great job!

Afterwards, Scott, Amadeo and I headed over to Candy Cane Lane and Charlie Brown's Christmas Town to see if Snoopy's Racing Railway was open as it was new for the event this year! Sadly it was down due to the cold weather.

The area is so beautiful with all of its colourful lights! We ended up taking another ride on Boo Blasters.

Lazy Bear Lodge always looks nice during Winterfest!

The former Tinsel Town lights were relocated to in front of Coasters Diner for this year's Winterfest.

While in the north Pole, we took two rides on Sledge Hammer, which was riding amazingly well in the cold weather!

We then took a ride on Psyclone, followed by a final ride of the night on Antique Carousel!

Antique Carousel always looks beautiful during Winterfest!

Here's Scott, Amadeo, and I on Antique Carousel!

The park always does a great job at decorating for Winterfest!

Here's a look at the quiet AlpenFury.

Here are a final shot of International Street before heading out for the night!

Here's Amadeo, Scott, and I on International Street!

And here is Sarah, Joseph, Amadeo, Scott, and I posing for one final photo before heading out!

It was a great evening for Winterfest at Canada's Wonderland! I hope to return again this season! Thanks for checking the photos of a great evening! 🙂❄️🎄
