Explore our Heritage Villages
Each Bedecked in their Christmas Finery
Instead of heading for the nearest city mall for holiday shopping this year, try spending a day (or two) exploring the towns and villages in the Hills of Headwaters. We think you’ll be very surprised by the outcome! Shopping in the Hills of Headwaters offers a stress-free, old fashioned solution to Christmas. You can take the pace a little slower and enjoy your surroundings. From home décor, to antiques, to contemporary clothing, musical instruments, chocolate and fine foods, lingerie, fine art, books and more, it’s all available right here.
Or, if you’re unsure of the exact gift to give, gift certificates are always a great option. In the Hills of Headwaters you will find some of Ontario’s best spas and these days everyone loves a little pampering. There are wonderful restaurants, theatres, inns, art studios and galleries, antique shops, ski hills, golf courses, bike shops and even planes and trains!; all of which can offer a gift certificate solution for an experience to be used at a later date.
Once the shopping is done and you are ready for the tree cutting, visit a local tree farm such as Wintersinger’s where you can not only pick out the type and size of tree you like, but also treat yourself to a horse or tractor drawn wagon ride and a cup of cocoa by the roaring campfire.
The merchants in the towns & villages of Headwaters look forward to your visit this season, many of them offering special downtown holiday events for you to enjoy!
