Join in the tradition in our annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in support of Children's Wish Foundation's Trees of Joy event. Featuring a visit from Santa, holiday treats, a special musical performance and, of course, our 20-foot tall Christmas Tree!

Beginning at 9:30AM, we invite you to ring in the holidays with a visit to Santa's home-away-from home - Fairmont Royal York's Specialty Santa Suite, located on our Lobby level across from EPIC Restaurant. Explore the warmth of his homey abode, leave him a letter, and take a photo with our guest of honour. Upload your Santa selfies to social media using the #RYHFestive hashtag for a chance to win a 2-night luxury getaway.

Also on Friday, November 24, join us for the reveal of our Festive Front Street Windows. The windows, designed by Frank Rea, Forget-me-not Flowers, will be animated until the end of the year.

We hope you will join us in supporting the Children's Wish Foundation. Your donation will help lift the spirits of families and young children in need this holiday season. Each one of our corporate sponsors has generously donated to help grant twelve children's wishes varying from trips to Disney World, LEGO land, and even Japan!
