Your party. Your guide. Toronto at Christmas.
Toronto Story Tours invites you to discover Christmas in Toronto from the comfort of your own private luxury Cadillac SUV.
Your Christmas evening
We’ll collect you from your downtown Toronto hotel and take you through an expected selection of Toronto’s most beautiful Christmas settings.
Travel into historic Old Toronto, where Victorian industrial architecture, cobblestone streets and thousands of Christmas lights create one of the city’s most recognizable holiday settings. During the Christmas season, the Distillery District traditionally becomes home to the Distillery Winter Village, complete with festive displays and its spectacular Christmas tree.
See Toronto City Hall dressed for the holidays, the famous illuminated TORONTO sign and the city’s official Christmas tree. It’s one of those unmistakable Toronto-at-Christmas photographs.
Since 1967, Cavalcade of Lights has opened Toronto’s holiday season at Nathan Phillips Square — glowing light installations, fireworks, live entertainment and skating beneath the City Hall skyline. It is the city’s longest-running Christmas tradition. Dates for the 2026 season are to be announced.
Christmas with a touch of Toronto elegance. We’ll travel through one of the city’s most prestigious neighbourhoods as luxury hotels, boutiques, trees and streets sparkle for the holidays.
Leave the downtown towers behind as we travel through the tree-lined streets of Forest Hill. Stately homes and residential Christmas displays provide a beautiful contrast to the lights of downtown Toronto.
Routes and seasonal displays may change as Toronto’s 2026 Christmas programmes are confirmed. Every final arrangement will be reviewed with you in advance.
And then…
Casa Loma
Rising above Toronto is one of the city’s most extraordinary landmarks. At Christmas, Casa Loma becomes magical.
The castle traditionally undergoes a spectacular holiday transformation with magnificent Christmas trees, elaborate seasonal decorations, entertainment and thousands of lights illuminating the property.
Walk beneath the lights. Step inside Toronto’s castle. And enjoy a spectacular finale to your Christmas evening.
Complete details of our 2026 Casa Loma experience will be announced following confirmation of Casa Loma’s Christmas programming.
Who will love this experience?
Perhaps you’re visiting Toronto and want to experience Christmas without joining a large tour. Maybe it’s a special night for two, an anniversary, birthday or Christmas getaway.
Perhaps you’re entertaining parents or grandparents, or two couples simply want to enjoy a beautiful Christmas evening together — with someone else taking care of the driving.
Thinking of proposing?
Imagine spending the evening together exploring Toronto’s Christmas lights before your private Cadillac arrives at an illuminated castle. Tell us privately when you make your arrangements, and we’ll work with you to help make your evening as seamless and memorable as possible.
Special arrangements at Casa Loma are subject to availability and approval.
Private. Personal. Toronto.
