Already burning the Yule log at both ends? Chill out in Parksville Qualicum Beach and keep the season’s stress at bay. Make a great escape here at the peak of the festivitie­s to enjoy the smalltown charms of this laid-back destinatio­n. Browse over a dozen craft fairs for hundreds of artisanal gift ideas. Across the region, hundreds of artisans, craftspeop­le, musicians and hall organizers are working away, preparing for the deluge of craft fairs, markets and events that transform this area into Vancouver Island’s ‘Christmas Place.’

Imagine a Christmas and/or New Year’s Day where somebody else does the hard work. Let our culinary pros roast the turkey and fix the trimmings. Indulge with a spa treatment. Allow yourself to be pampered royally by our jolly innkeepers and B&B operators. Toast 2016 and ring in 2017 as the New Year’s first high tide laps at your feet.
