25 of our favourite things during the holidays

By Visit Kingston

We’ll say it. Winter is the most wonderful time of the year, especially with a list as hot as this! This year, we asked you to share your favourite things to do during the holiday season. From brunching at your favourite restaurants to hiking snowy trails, Kingston will keep you busy all winter long.

The Tourism Kingston staff and partner organizations also picked their favourites for the holidays. You can get in touch with us here.
