We all have presents to shop for, so what better way to knock some gifts off the list than some holiday second hand shopping! Take a tour through the Abbotsford thrift stores and find some sustainable gifts to give this holiday season. You could even peek through the Christmas decorations and pick out ornaments for each other! End your afternoon of thrifting at Fieldhouse Brewing and warm up with a hot meal like their Harvest pizza paired with one of their seasonal beers!

Looking for a unique date night? How about a Goat Yoga session at Maan Farms! This seasons Christmas Goat Yoga and Wine sessions will take place on December 17 and December 20th. You will get an hour yoga session followed by a yummy meal, glass of wine, and treats. Make sure you wander through the holiday items they have in their store while you’re at it. Get your tickets before they sell out!

Feel like putting a new meaning to “Holiday Cheer”? Throw on your hockey jersey and head over the Abbotsford Centre to cheer on our very own Abbotsford Canucks! You can even stop in at Canuck Brewing across the street for a pre or post game beer! Check out the tickets and game times here.

Hot Chocolate Tastings

As the weather continues to chill, what better way to warm up than a hot chocolate tasting tour? Make your way around our local cafes and share a cup of hot chocolate, and pick your favourites! Not a hot chocolate fan? Try a different holiday drink like The Palm Cafe’s eggnog lattes or Old Hand’s gingerbread lattes. End off your day of sweet sipping at one of our local ice rinks like ARC or MRC!
