4 Places to Visit for a Sparkling Holiday Season

The holiday season, with its decorations and thousands of lights lining every street and adorning every home, is a true haven of joy during these shorter, less sunny days. Let the magic of Christmas work its wonders and spread some holiday cheer. Visit Laval’s most beautiful, sparkling spots.

Walking joyfully, staying warm

What do you do when it’s cold, the ground is covered in a layer that looks more like slush than snow, and you feel like going for a walk? You head to the CF Carrefour Laval, not only for its wide selection of stores, but also for its holiday decorations! Seriously, they don’t skimp on the lights or the grandeur. A simple stroll through this exceptional mall, coffee in hand, and our little daily walk is filled with joy and cheer.

Feel like you're in a Christmas village

Centropolis, easily accessible by car or public transit, is a popular destination for its restaurants, shops, and attractions, but people often forget that it feels like a small village where it’s pleasant to stroll both day and night. And during the holiday season, after sunset, the area dons its festive lights and shines beautifully. Walking through it, you feel like one of those figurines inside a snow globe. A wonderful way to experience Laval in a whole new light.

Enjoy a royal experience

Do you love castles, *Bridgerton*, and the glamour of chic soirées? The lobby of Sheraton Laval Hotel, especially during the holiday season, is the perfect place to immerse yourself in a regal setting, complete with lit-up trees and seasonal decorations. The kids will be dreaming about it long after their visit (and you probably will, too). Why not take the opportunity to grab your camera and grab a bite to eat at La Piazza?

Watching the lights come on in the greenhouses

In the summer, greenhouses are lush, green spaces where it’s lovely to take a stroll just for the sheer pleasure of it. In the winter, you can visit them too—either to admire their stunning Christmas decorations or in the hope of finding THE perfect decoration for your home. Either way, the Locas Nursery and Les Serres Sylvain Cléroux are two must-visit spots.

Psst! And speaking of "Laval's most decorated spots," we'd like to draw your attention to the Christmas at the Centre de la nature, an absolutely magnificent and sparkling attraction.
