MITK Guide to Christmas Lights

The snow has started to fall and the city is finally fully dressed for Christmas.  Colourful lights shine bright, evergreens drape on the fresh fallen snow and neighborhoods are transformed.  It’s Christmas in the city.   

Bundle up the kids, grab some sweet Christmas treats and a mug of hot chocolate.  There’s nothing like a family drive to see the lights and the Ottawa area has some of the best displays.
