November is bringing plenty of reasons to get out and about in Toronto and Niagara. From over-the-top Christmas pop-ups and local holiday shopping to wreath-making with wine, late-night dining and a gala that gives back, this month’s lineup has something for every kind of outing. Here’s what’s happening this November.
Miracle Toronto
Miracle Toronto spreads joy with two festive destinations this holiday season! Get ready to deck the halls, raise a glass and get seriously merry – Toronto’s original Christmas pop-up Miracle Toronto is returning with two joy-inducing destinations – Miracle on Bloor (875 Bloor St. W.) and Miracle on Harbourfront (235 Queens Quay W.), both opening on Friday, November 20, With floor-to-ceiling Christmas décor, picture-worthy cocktails, a new snack menu from Fat Rice, expanded brunch offerings, Santa appearances, pet photo opps, drag events, live DJ sets, late night happy hour promos, a festive patio and interactive photo booths, Miracle Toronto is bringing back the joyful traditions guests love while introducing new ways to celebrate throughout the season. Both locations will also accept and mail out Letters to Santa, in partnership with Canada Post.
Brought to life by the team behind Civil Liberties and Civil Works, Miracle Toronto has been spreading unapologetic and excessive holiday cheer in the city since 2019. Since its inception, the ultra-festive pop-up has become a beloved ritual for those looking to embrace the fun, nostalgia and spirit of Christmas, preferably with a cocktail in hand. Miracle Toronto will once again support Nellie’s, donating $1 from every drink sold at both locations to the Toronto-based organization that provides shelter, education and advocacy for women and children.
