Photos with Santa

The holidays in Sun Peaks are truly magical. Our annual Holiday Kick-Off on December 10th is the perfect way to start the holiday season. The village is transformed into a dreamland of holiday cheer. Here is the perfect guide to experiencing Holiday Kick-Off.

Start Your Day

Ski Lessons

Start your morning off right with a delicious crepe and hot chocolate from Tod Mountain Cafe . Then, head out to the mountain for some fresh powdery goodness! If you've got little ones who are just starting out skiing or snowboarding, drop them off at Sports School for a morning lesson.  

Mid-Day

Vertical Cafe

Ski into the village for lunch at Vertical Cafe, which serves locally sourced, scratch cooking with vegan and gluten-free options. After lunch, make your way to the Clocktower Square to catch the arrival of Santa Claus and enjoy the holiday festivities.
