Homes for the Holidays

What is it? Back for its 21st anniversary in 2026, don't miss this unique opportunity to experience one of the city's most iconic festive fundraisers. Transforming a grand hilltop heritage house at UBC into a stylish Christmastime manor with the help of leading interior designers, florists and decor experts, you'll be wowed (and perhaps inspired) by the sparkling seasonal displays in each room. Adding to the fun, you'll also find live music, a mini-forest of decorated trees, a silent auction, a wine bar, a 50-50 draw and a Boutique Boulevard of artisanal ornaments. Keep in mind that your timed ticket is for a two-hour window and all tickets must be booked online in advance. This sparkling two-day-only extravaganza isn't just about having a great time alongside thousands of other attendees, though. It's also a fantastic and much-loved fundraiser for YWCA BC's Housing Action Fund, which connects single mothers and their children with safe, affordable homes.
