What: This beloved Vancouver Christmas event is back for 2023! One of Canada's largest one-day toy drives, thousands of locals will roll into the Pan Pacific Hotel for this brilliant early morning Christmas party, a bonhomie-packed Yuletide tradition stretching back three decades. Donating a new, unwrapped toy––recent years have seen giant piles of more than 22 tonnes of gifts each time––gets you in the door for a buffet breakfast and an event that's dripping with seasonal goodwill. Stick around for the carol choirs, Christmas performers and live TV broadcasts and remember that your donations help kids and families in need at this time of year throughout the Lower Mainland.
