Fairmont Winnipeg Holiday Guide

Enchanting Fairmont Moments

Unforgettable Moments. Timeless Traditions.
Celebrate the festive season at Fairmont Winnipeg, where we have something planned for everyone throughout the holiday season. Bring the kids for a visit with Santa, embrace the festive spirit with a cocktail at The Jolly Gnome, relax with a cup of exquisite tea at our annual Nutcracker Tea service, or ring in the New Year with a celebratory fondue experience. Your enchanting Fairmont Moments begin here. 

Santa Suite
Capture your holiday photos with us this year and create unforgettable memories all while supporting The Dream Factory. Once you book your time with Santa, you’ll be taken to the 20th floor by our elf-avator where you will be welcomed into Santa's very own suite. Each visit includes a 15 minutes session with Santa, one printed 6x8 photo and 3-5 digital photos, and access to Santa’s village (located in the main lobby) to enjoy other festive activities.
