10 things to do on Christmas Day in Toronto

Things to do on Christmas Day in Toronto include a mix of dining experiences like high tea and brunch, and outdoor activities to really get into the spirit. 

For anyone looking for a cozy way to spend the day, check out high tea at W Toronto, or invite family and friends out to brunch hosted at either TONO by Akira Back or Omni King Edward Hotel

And those who like a bit of outdoor fun to get into the seasonal spirit, they're free to skate at Harbourfront Centre during the Skate by the Lake event, enjoy light installations and more skating at Nathan Phillips Square, or simply walk through the Junction and see the window decor put up by over 25 local artists from the city. 

There's all this and other things to do on Christmas Day in Toronto, so be sure to make the best of your day to mark the occasion!
