We’ve been keeping a secret…

PEI’s capital city, Charlottetown, typically known for its beauty and charm during the summer months is in fact even MORE charming during the holiday season. We’re talking a real-life backdrop straight out of a Hallmark Christmas movie.

With its downtown streets dressed in their festive best, open-air Christmas markets, horse and sleigh rides, and enchantment at every turn, it sets the scene for a holiday love story. For couples looking for a romantic getaway or for those who simply want a memorable location where they can fall in love all over again, Charlottetown offers the perfect setting to do just that.

As in any Hallmark Christmas movie, the heartwarming plot revolves around two characters coming together to reconnect, rediscover what they’ve lost, and embrace the magic of the holiday season. During the Charlottetown Christmas Festival, November 22nd – January 2nd, 2025, downtown Charlottetown, with its inviting warmth and breathtaking festive scenery, offers a magical winter wonderland that sets the scene for holiday romance.

Imagine: A light dusting of snow falls on the quaint streets of downtown Charlottetown, which are decked out in twinkling holiday lights with the scent of pine trees filling the crisp air. Throughout the city are ample opportunities to immerse yourselves in the magic of the season, with yuletide walking tours, horse & wagon rides, ice sculpting, firepits & cozy outdoor seating, live music and carollers.

It’s the kind of place where every corner feels like it’s pulled from a holiday postcard, and there’s no better place to reconnect with the one you love.

The Charlottetown waterfront, with its serene views of the harbour, is ideal for romantic strolls with gently falling snowflakes. Victoria Park, just minutes from the downtown core, offers a tranquil escape with its quiet trails, perfect for a peaceful winter walk by the water. Then a romantic dinner for two at one of Charlottetown’s cozy restaurants, or perhaps a visit to the Confederation Centre of the Arts to watch a Christmas performance to add a touch of culture to the movie’s romance.

Then it’s back to your chic downtown suite, designed for play and connection in the heart of the city, to toast an incredible memory-making experience with a nightcap, rediscovering what truly matters this time of year — togetherness, love, and the magic of the holiday season.

Now that the secret is out, it’s the perfect time to star in your own Hallmark Christmas movie set in Charlottetown, PEI, creating a timeless holiday romance to enjoy for years to come.
