Christmastime is Canada's time to shine. We've got blankets of snow, mountain peaks that look like they're from Whoville, and quaint towns to live out your Hallmark holiday dreams.
This small town in Alberta has all of the above, which is how it earned the title of one of the most magical Christmas destinations in the country.
Nestled in the picturesque setting of the Canadian Rockies, within Banff National Park, sits Lake Louise. It's famed for its glacier-fed lake, snow-capped peaks and luxurious accommodations, and it becomes even more beautiful during the holiday season.
The CasinoDays ranking put together the list of magical Canadian spots by looking at expert lists, social media, and reviews to create a score out of 10. Lake Louise earned a 9.51 on the scoring system, coming in second place behind Niagara Falls, which got a 9.52.
Nature's beauty is on full display here, and while cozying up by the fire with the mountain view from the window seems alluring, holidays here are asking to be spent outdoors. The frozen lake will tempt you into the frosty air so you can skate, gliding along the mirror-like surface. Then there are the ski resorts closeby, Christmas markets, and winter hikes.
Around every turn is a view more beautiful than the last, making you feel like you've stepped into a holiday postcard.
Lake Louise is just 40 minutes from the renowned town of Banff, which offers its own small-town charm and snowy paradise setting.
Staying in the area means experiencing the best of both, especially at Christmas. There's a hot chocolate trail to follow in town, the Banff Christmas Market, and the 'In Search of Christmas Spirit Event' – an immersive outdoor Christmas story with glowing lights.
You can also hop on a horse-drawn sleigh ride around Lake Louise to really cement the story-book-like vibe of the trip.
For the full Canadian experience, you can visit the Sugar Shack at Fairmont Banff Springs, where you can warm up by a fire and eat some maple taffy. Top it off by staying at the luxurious Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, which looked like a castle perched alongside the lake enclosed by mountains.
From the landscape to the Christmassy events, this place brings festivity to the fullest.
