What’s Open and Closed on Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s in Canada
Toronto and GTA attractions and stores mostly close on Christmas Day, with key sites like CN Tower and Ripley’s Aquarium open, and many malls reopening with extended hours on Boxing Day.
- On Dec. 24, Toronto attractions and stores publish holiday hours, with most locations closed on Dec. 25 and reopening on Dec. 26 for Boxing Day, per venue notices.
- Because Christmas Day is a statutory holiday, most shops and government offices close nationwide, while Boxing Day observance varies by province and Ontario retail workers get 1.5 times pay.
- Notably, several major attractions including the CN Tower, Ripley’s Aquarium, Casa Loma and the Toronto Zoo remain open daily, with the CN Tower open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Dec. 25 and 26, while Pacific Mall and many movie theatres also operate on Christmas Day.
- Shoppers should note many places shut for Christmas, so finish last-minute purchases early, while Boxing Day sales at major malls and outlet centres offer discounts up to 50 per cent.
- Before you go, GO Transit and the TTC run holiday schedules on Dec. 25 and 26; check local transportation providers and venue websites, and Global Affairs Canada offers 24/7 emergency consular service.
