Snow ball fights with friends; building snowmen in the park; hot chocolate after skiing, tobogganing or riding snowmobiles; ice skating at City Hall or Harbourfront; good skiing/snowboarding just 30 minutes outside Toronto, outdoor bread baking at Dufferin Grove Park, Japanese pancakes ('Okonomiyaki') downtown. Christmas is not nearly as charming in Vancouver where there's no snow - come to Toronto. You can even go on a horse drawn sleigh nearby.
Toronto's winters are relatively mild compared to Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary. And when it's cold outside, you can always walk in the Underground City, comprised of miles of tunnels for underground strolling and shopping. Have you ever seen a big city after a blank of pure white snow has fallen on it? It's very beautiful and very peaceful. Catch snowflakes on your tongue. Watch professional hockey games or, even more fun, visit a community ice hockey rink -- that's so Canadian and so much fun -- and it's free. And the best time to view nearby Niagara Falls is in winter when the sides freeze into spectacular ice crystals.
