WinterFest debuts at Canada's Wonderland November 22

Vaughan, Nov. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canada's Wonderland is transforming the park into a magical winter wonderland for its new immersive, holiday event. WinterFest opens Nov. 22 and takes place on select dates until Dec. 31, where guests will experience enchanting themed areas adorned with more than five million holiday lights, festive décor and three 15-metre-high Christmas trees.

"This is Canada's Wonderland like you've never seen it before," said Norm Pirtovshek, General Manager. "WinterFest will be one of the country's most spectacular winter events where friends and families can create memories and new traditions during the holiday season." 

WinterFest activities include ice skating on Snow Flake Lake in front of the iconic Wonder Mountain, a nightly tree-lighting ceremony, live holiday shows, strolling performers, select family rides, and interactive attractions like cookie decorating with Mrs. Claus, writing letters to Santa at the North Pole Post Office and creating take-home keepsakes at Sally's Christmas Crafts.  

The park will feature eight whimsical WinterFest worlds, including Tinsel Town, the North Pole, Elf Village, Charlie Brown's Christmas Town, Candy Cane Lane, International Street, Season of Lights and the Christmas Market – where shoppers can find unique, artisan gifts and festive foods. 

In all, WinterFest will feature more than 30 holiday attractions. Some of the live entertainment includes:

• Tinker's Toy Factory: This upbeat musical tells the story of Tinker the elf, who has to deal with some sudden changes in Santa's Workshop that put his beloved old-fashioned toy-making in jeopardy.
