🎄✨ Experience a European-style Christmas without the transatlantic flight! ❄️🏰

If you are dreaming of cobblestone streets dusted with snow, twinkling holiday lights, and the scent of warm mulled w**e, Québec City is your ultimate winter wonderland!

The crown jewel of the season is the famous Québec City German Christmas Market, running from November 19 to December 23, 2026.

Situated in the heart of Old Québec, this free-admission market features over 90 beautifully decorated wooden chalets. You can sip hot glühwein (mulled w**e), indulge in authentic gingerbread and bratwurst, listen to live choirs, and hunt for unique, handcrafted treasures from local and international artisans.

From experience, the absolute best place to stay is the award-winning Hôtel du Vieux-Québec.

📍 Unbeatable Location: Located directly inside the historic 18th-century fortified walls, you are just steps away from the main holiday market sites, the iconic Château Frontenac, and the stunningly decorated streets of Petit-Champlain.
🪵 Cozy Historic Charm: The 45 newly renovated rooms beautifully blend modern luxury with authentic, exposed historic stone walls.
☕ The Ultimate Winter Hangout: After a day of exploring in the crisp winter air, you can warm up next to a roaring fireplace in the guest lounge while enjoying the 24/7 complimentary espresso and hot chocolate bar.
🍃 Eco-Luxury: It proudly holds the title of the only officially recognized carbon-neutral hotel in the province of Québec—and has been rated the #1 hotel in the city on Tripadvisor for 12 consecutive years!

Spaces for the holiday season fill up incredibly fast, so let's get booking!

I think I've put this out to this group before, but I was just reminded how helpful it is. When staying at a hotel, if you have a water bottle, you can go to the hotel gym and use the bottle filler to get water. No need to ask for bottles at the desk or buy them.

I know I've talked before about Flytographer, which I have used and LOVE! Now is a great time to book a session if you are heading to a fabulous destination. During the month of October you can get $50 off your first photo shoot! Check it out: https://flytog.co/LACTRAVELS

I added a few of our photos from London and Hawaii. Both of our Flytographer experiences have been great! The photographers are local, you get to look through their profiles and choose the one that you want, and they know great spots and hidden gems for photos.

Yes!! I'm looking forward this! I plan to be either on my 3rd drink or 20th time around 🤣 However, some of the slides around the water park do look pretty epic (and we will be on the Epic). K Thweatt Alferio, that's our spot 😄

The month of October offers fun specials - $50 off your first shoot with Flytographer. Using my link: https://flytog.co/LACTRAVELS you can get $50 off. Search for all different locations and research your favorite photographer. Pick the day, pick the time, and the location. We used Flytographer in London and Hawaii. Both were great! I really appreciated that the photographers are already vetted and you get to see their work before selecting them. We've been super happy with both. They have a range of times (30 minutes and up) that accommodate both small and large groups. For London, we walked around to several different places to get different vantage points around the City. For Hawaii, we chose a sunrise photo shoot at the beach and it was perfect.

If you are going somewhere special in the month of October and want to capture the moment, check it out.

One of my favorite things from NCL is the CruiseFirst credits. Starting today and only for a limited time, it's $250 for $500. This can be used as your cruise deposit and you have saved $250 from the start. I snagged one for our Hawaii cruise deposit.
