From Mariah Carey declaring it's Christmas season to community campaigns, here's your guide to an epic holiday in Canada!

As the temperature drops and twinkling lights start to appear, there's a palpable buzz in the air! In Lethbridge, the Christmas Hope campaign is urging volunteers to spread holiday cheer to those in need. This wonderful initiative brings together various agencies, including the Lethbridge Food Bank and Interfaith Food Bank, to ensure every family can have the Christmas they dearly deserve. Giving back has never been more festive, and there's no better time to roll up your sleeves and lend a helping hand.

Meanwhile, the undeniably festive Mariah Carey has officially kicked off the countdown to Christmas! Known affectionately as the ‘Queen of Christmas,’ she teasingly declared “not yet” when asked if the season had started yet—before delightfully reminding us all that her iconic holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is the real magic that gets everyone into the spirit! This year, she even made her holiday transformation into Morticia Addams, turning Gomez into a delightful snowman. What a horrific yet festive combo!

For those looking to shop until they drop, Surrey is bringing the holiday spirit full throttle with Potters Christmas Store reopening its extravagant 28,000-square-foot space. Families are invited to immerse themselves in a yuletide wonderland filled with decorations, gifts, and festive activities—talk about a Christmas paradise! And if crafts are more your jam, the Whistlestop craft show promises a successful gathering of dedicated artisans showcasing unique gifts. It’s an annual tradition that has continued to grow over the past 20 years, echoing the passion and commitment of the community.

Don’t forget about the heartwarming initiatives happening across Canada, like registration for the Steinbach Community Christmas Hampers. These hampers ensure that no family goes hungry during the festive season. With personalized gifts becoming all the rage—ranging from custom baby rompers to unique kitchenware—this holiday season is all about spreading love, joy, and a little bit of glitz. Don’t be a Grinch; embrace the festivities!

Did you know that Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has become such a phenomenon that it consistently tops the Billboard charts every holiday season? Meanwhile, in the online world, Michael Bublé continues to charm us every holiday with hilarious Christmas memes that define the holiday spirit. Truly, Canadian Christmas is a mix of joy, laughter, and a sprinkle of wholesome chaos!
