Here are Canada's most festive places

Canada is a big country with many attractions and some places are really fun!

Here are some of them.

Cranberry Junction, BC

It's no coincidence that BC is paying tribute to the beloved cranberry by naming a community Cranberry Junction. Canada is one of the world's largest producers of this holiday staple – and most of its farms are located in BC and Quebec.

Christmas Island, Nova Scotia

Located on Cape Breton Island, Christmas Island has a population of about 1,700 people. But this time of year, the small community is very busy! Each holiday, their post office sends around 14,000 packages from all over the world to be sent to their final destination with the hand-stamped Christmas Island postmark.

Snowflake, Manitoba

Snowflake is another small community – and the name is apt because the province it is located in, Manitoba, is a snowy place! Take Winnipeg, for example. This city has an average of 1 cm of snow on 132 days a year.

Reindeer station, NWT

And what about Reindeer Station, NWT? Unfortunately, there are no people or reindeer here. It was established in 1932 to house thousands of reindeer purchased by the Canadian government to provide an additional food source for the Inuvialuit. The project was abandoned in 1969 and the animals were sold off when the population in the area declined.
