Brrr! It’s getting cold outside and that means the Holiday season has arrived. Before you start stuffing your stalking, why not take a peek around Bradford and brave the elements to have some fun. We’ve gathered up seven unique things for you and yours to do during this winter season:

Make the Trek to the Holland Marsh Farmer’s Market

While it may seem remote (and we’re already remote) – the farmer’s market at Holland Marsh is absolutely worth it. With the best produce and jams in the area (heck, the province), Holland will win you over with its selection and quality. The solitude of its location makes it stand out as an experience well above the regular grocery run.

Take in the Match at Don Cherry’s

With the cold weather, the outdoors might not always be the best option but if you can ride or make your to Don Cherry’s for the match you’re in for a treat. It feels like Olive Garden married a sports bar; with its Italian menu flourishes, Don Cherry’s stands out as the best place to sit back and take it in.

Run Your Children Silly at Kidergy

Those of us with children know that a child’s energy level can be properly draining after a long day of work. Kidergy provides the perfect ‘drainer’ of jungle gyms and ball pits that’s sure to entertain your child and bring them home tuckered out. There’s even a coffee stand with inside that’ll wake you up just long enough to see your kid to bed. Good for December birthdays too!

Unwind Some More at The Village Inn

While we’ve already suggested a bar once, The Village Inn has a rustic, almost European appeal. It sits calmly on a central corner in town and offers a big-city variety in its seating and options. An uncommon spot in an uncommon place.

Warm Yourself Right At the Exhale Spa

With the cold settling in we inevitably do anything we can to get warm and cozy. Why not brave the cold for a moment to reach a maximum level of cozy and comfort at Exhale Spa? With a great and accommodating staff, you’ll feel validated the moment you take a step in. Trust us.

Mix It Up at La Mexicanada Restaurant

A perfect mix of Mexican and Canadian dish, this unorthodox eatery will challenge you and win you over at the same time. We hadn’t even dreamed of this fusion until we came across it but we luckily came away with our taste buds satiated and our tummies thankful.

Just Take It In

Sometimes the best recipe is a little peace. You don’t need more in Bradford – you’ve got wilderness and newly lit fire to keep you satisfied. This Holiday, find something to do at home with those you care about and maybe take a peek out the window to feel just that much warmer.

These are just some of the options in Bradford’s community. Don’t be afraid to explore and take advantage of everything this beautiful area has to offer!
