A Taste of a European Christmas: What to Eat at the Vancouver Christmas Market - West Coast Food

The Vancouver Christmas Market is back at Jack Poole Plaza on the waterfront for its 15th magical year. An authentic  European Christmas market right in the heart of downtown Vancouver, there will be over 110 artisan huts this year to eat, drink and be merry throughout. Here’s just a teaser of all the wonderful flavours gifted to us November 13 to December 24.
