Here’s a glimpse of what you can look forward to in Canada during this time:
Witness the Stunning Fall Foliage (September to October)
Canada is famous for its breathtaking fall foliage. The changing colors of the leaves create a beautiful scene with shades of red, orange, and yellow everywhere.
This is the perfect season for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and wildlife watching in Canada’s many nature parks. Enjoy the fresh autumn air before winter arrives. Popular spots to experience fall are Algonquin Park in Ontario, Mont-Tremblant in Quebec, and Stanley Park in British Columbia.
Celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving (October)
Canadian Thanksgiving is different from the one in the U.S. It’s celebrated on the second Monday of October with family get-togethers, great food, and a focus on being thankful for the past year. It’s a great opportunity to try traditional Canadian dishes and visit lively farmers’ markets that are packed with fresh produce for the season.
Get Ready for Sports (October)
If you’re a fan of sports, the festive season in Canada is perfect for catching a live hockey game, the country’s most popular sport! Hockey season starts during these months, and you can also experience the excitement of the Canadian Football League (CFL) leading up to the Grey Cup in late November.
Experience the First Snowfall (November)
Have you ever dreamed of watching snow fall for the first time? You’ll get to experience that as winter begins in November. This is a must-see if you’re coming from India. The snowfall brings a lot of exciting activities, like skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating. It also marks the beginning of holiday shopping and festive markets.

December is a time of joy in Canada with Christmas and other holiday celebrations filling the streets with lights and happiness.
