The Season of Father Christmas in Mahone Bay

The Season of Father Christmas welcomes you to Mahone Bay from November 28 – December 24, 2025 with sprinklings of the season’s magic.

Breathe in the scent of balsam fir permeating the air as you stroll through town taking in the twinkling lights and boughs of holly (maybe even the occasional Christmas gnome!). Fill your stockings with unique treasures and your belly with festive flavours. Pick up a Wish List and cross your fingers for a chance to win your heart desires. Fill your belly with a wonderful meal at a local eatery before snuggling up in a cozy local B&B, Inn or nearby resort as you rest up to continue exploring the Christmas festivities happening throughout Mahone Bay.

A seaside Christmas sure to fill your holiday spirit!
