HOLIDAY CHEER

Classic Christmas
Though originally written as
a parable about poverty and
social injustice in Victorian
England, Charles Dickens’
A Christmas Carol endures
today. It inspires and reminds us of the power of
generosity and compassion,
and life’s simple pleasures
like a warm hearth or a
family meal. The Fort la
Reine Museum captures
this spirit during its Dickens
Christmas Celebration,
which decks the heritage
village in old-time holiday
cheer. Costumed storytellers, sleigh rides, treats
and more add to the seasonal delight.

Little Wonders
More than 300 small-scale
pieces of Winnipeg heritage
are once again on whimsical
display at The Children’s
Museum. Delighting young
viewers and stirring fond
memories in the young-atheart, the lovingly restored
Eaton’s Fairytale Vignettes
depict 15 well-known
fables and nursery rhymes,
including Cinderella,
Humpty Dumpty and Little
Red Riding Hood, with
detailed figurines, miniature
furniture and more. Though
their original location—

The Forks’
contemporary
food hall

Eaton’s Fairytale Vignettes

the Eaton’s department
store on Portage Avenue—
is no more, these unique
storybook dioramas remain
a holiday-season favourite
for many Manitobans.

Food Renewed
One of Winnipeg’s most

popular gathering spaces
is now more welcoming
than ever. A $2.5-million
renovation to The Forks
Market—the structure’s
largest change since its
opening in 1989—has
added a variety of modern
touches to the venue’s
central food hall. Beneath
chic new chandeliers,
an 80-seat harvest table
lends a communal vibe
as guests sample and
savour the wares of new
and longtime-favourite
vendors. One popular
stop is The Common,
which features a professionally curated selection
of craft brews and
international wines.
