No to jinx it or anything but the weather in YEG has been better than usual this December. While I personally hide from the cold and instantly become a home body bordering on hermit as soon as it gets cold, this December I got out to explore Edmonton. We compiled a list of events for everyone and all kinds of different budgets, because we know saving money is important. Here are some cool events you should check out this month - great for dates, families and sometimes just hanging on your own.
Servus Food Bank
Fridays at Snow Valley Ski Club – Edmonton
What a great way
to get out your skis or snowboard, save some money and make a difference for Edmonton
Food Bank. Servus Credit Union and the Snow Valley Ski Club are offering discount
ski nights every Friday this winter season between November 30, 2018 through
March 22, 2019. Bring a donation for Edmonton's Food Bank and patrons can
purchase a lift ticket for $10. Bring a second item for the Food Bank and
receive your rentals for $15.
If you love
pretty lights and hayrides than take a journey through Magic of Lights on a
hayride pulled by trucks, courtesy of our friends at Driving Force. If you
would like to experience the show on your own, you can drive in the comfort of our
own vehicle as well.
A Christmas Carol – Citadel
A Christmas Carol – Citadel
From now until Dec 23, 2018 you can catch the FINAL season of
this adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
The show is magnificent (I personally have seen it like 4 times) -Three Ghosts
of Christmas show Scrooge the value of giving. A heart-warming family classic
to put you in the holiday spirit. A Christmas Carol, now in its 19th (and
final) season, is universally beloved for its dynamic themes and uplifting
message.
Candy Cane Lane
Candy Cane Lane
Pretty lights,
amazing decorations, and a great way to spend a little time outside exploring YEG
and what it has to offer. This wonderful event is run by volunteers and
residents there's a special kind of magic that brings YEG Candy Cane Lane to
life year after year. Nestled within
the canopied trees of the Crestwood community lies the wholly committed
neighbourhood that decorates the exterior of their homes in celebration of
the holiday season. There are sleigh rides ($17) and they are also accepting donations for the Food Bank!
Ice Castles

Ice Castles – its exactly what it means – it is an awe-inspiring, must-see winter castle built with hundreds of thousands of icicles that brings fairy tales to life. With slides, fire pits and a throne (because what would a castle be with no icicle throne?). Dress warm and get exploring. There are 6 locations FYI.
