As you’ve probably noticed if you’ve been outside at all this week, the weather is getting colder, and winter is approaching. That means, in addition to temperatures dropping, and the days getting shorter, the holidays are also fast approaching.
Many places around the GTA, including the Eaton Centre, have already held their ceremonial Christmas tree lighting.
There are also holiday-themed activities popping up across the GTA.
These are the 5 best Christmas Markets near Mississauga.
