PEI Festive Getaway (Charlottetown Christmas Festival and the Hot Chocolate Trail) (3 days)
Get in the holiday spirit and experience the magic of the season with a weekend jaunt to Prince Edward Island. Enjoy the sights, sounds and shopping at the Charlottetown Christmas Festival. There are wagon rides, live ice sculpting, local music, the open-air Victoria Christmas and Mistletoe Markets and much more. Also, this weekend, Charlottetown usually holds both their Tree Lighting and Christmas Parade, events you won’t want to miss! All of these activities are just a short walk away from your hotel, the historic Rodd Charlottetown, located in the heart of downtown. Let’s not forget the Hot Chocolate Trail, where Island vendors feature specialty hot chocolate, all while you have a chance to pick up a Christmas gift or two. On the way back to Nova Scotia, stop in Moncton for some additional shopping time.
