What is the most important festival in Canada?

For Canadians, Christmas is the most important holiday of the year. Christmas tree, bells, Christmas knots, holly and mistletoe are the most important decorations for Christmas. It is also an essential procedure for a family to sit around a table and have a big meal together.

Five unique Christmas customs in Canada:

1. Christmas tree angel

Canada often puts a special angel decoration on the top of the Christmas tree to represent the angel who leaned over to look after Jesus when he was born. On Christmas morning, we open our eyes to see the beautiful Christmas tree and make a wish to the Christmas angel.

2. Santa Claus Parade

Every Christmas Eve, major cities will hold a grand Santa Claus parade, and large shopping malls and brands in the city will send their own Christmas parade vehicles for publicity. Santa Claus plays the last role, attracting a large number of children and adults to visit in the snow.

3. Tim Horton's Christmas donuts

As the most popular and popular coffee shop brand in Canada, Tim Hortons can't even compare with Starbucks. Every year, one month before Christmas, Tim Hortons will start selling Christmas-style doughnuts and decorate coffee cups with red and white packages.

4. Christmas decoration competition

A few weeks before Christmas, every family will start to decorate their houses intensively, from colored lights and dolls to beautiful ice sculptures, and every family will hold the most beautiful decorations in their homes. Many streets will also hold decoration competitions in their own communities to stimulate people's participation and enthusiasm for Christmas and create opportunities for children. As soon as we entered the month of 65438+February, various communities already had a strong Christmas atmosphere.

5. Cross-dressing competition

In Nova Scotia and Newfoundland on the east coast, many people will take out all kinds of strange clothes and knock on people's doors at random in the community. They will ask the layman in a strange voice if he can come into the house and if there will be a pantomime at night. Then they sing and dance, and the host will entertain them with delicious Christmas cakes and hot drinks. The host must guess who the mime is in the crowd. If he can't get it right, he will join their team and ask questions at the next house. This activity starts from 26th and sometimes lasts until 65438+1October 6th.
