For a real local neighborhood feel, this Rosemount market dishes up delicious traditional Christmas food, handmade wood, leather and woolen items, plenty of games and workshops for the kids, and a complete Christmas village. It usually only takes place on a single day or weekend, but it's not to be missed if you happen to be in town.
The most authentic of German Christmas markets in Montreal, the Weinachtsmarkt at St. John's Lutheran Church is where to get your fill of gluhwein, spekulatius, and some traditional church services and events. The church is located on Rue Jeanne-Mance on the way from McGill University to Park Mont-Royal, not far from the shops around the Plateau and Downtown.
The beloved Christmas Village at Atwater Market takes place every weekend throughout the festive period. Here, you can taste seasonal delights from some of Montreal's best chefs at the pop-up food stalls and sugar shacks, or attend a gourmet evening cooking event. Kids can get their faces painted by Santa's elves, listen to an afternoon story reading, or visit Santa in his workshop.

Organised by Montreal's premier ballet company, the famous Nutcracker Market takes over Place des Arts every year with an impressive array of artisan craftspeople, offering everything from handmade dinnerware to natural body-care products, local food items to outdoor décor items and, of course, plenty of fabulous handmade toy. It's also near the Latin Quarter, where you'll fin trendy boutiques wedged between fashionable eateries.
While not strictly a shopping area but rather a stand-alone event, this annual craft fair has been part and parcel of the Christmas season for many Montrealers since 1955. From trinkets and decorations to stylish kitchen items and the latest in sustainable fashion, over 400 artisans display their diverse wares for sale at Place Bonaventure.

Sprawling out beneath four office blocks in Downtown, this underground holiday shopping mecca boasts over 80 high-end fashion boutiques and artisan stores. It's the place to go for stylish, ready-to-wear gifts while in town.
