7Quebec City, Canada – For European-Style Winter Magic

Quebec City, with its cobblestone streets and old-world charm, feels like a European Christmas village right in North America. In December, the city’s Old Town is decorated with holiday lights, wreaths, and festive garlands, turning it into a winter wonderland. The German Christmas Market in the square offers mulled wine, gingerbread, and artisanal goods. The surrounding area is perfect for snow activities like ice skating, sledding, and snowshoeing, and Montmorency Falls is a nearby attraction that takes on a magical, frozen look during winter.

Must-See: Wander through the Quartier Petit Champlain, a picturesque neighborhood with boutique shops, restaurants, and stunning decorations that capture the spirit of the holidays.
