Union Station Holiday Market -12 Great Days of Christmas Shopping

On December 5, 2016, we attended Toronto Market Company’s 3rd Annual Union Station Holiday Market 2016 (USHM). Located in the heart of Union Station, Main Floor West of Great Hall, USHM offers commuters and visitors a chance to get their holiday shopping and that perfect gift on the go. The market is meant to be a convenient way to shop and embrace the holiday spirit while enjoying a stress-free experience. To top it off we got to watch musical performances by Frost and Ivy with a selection of Toronto’s best treats and sweets.
