Newmarket’s Frozen Friday turns a December evening downtown into a winter festival with outdoor skating, live music, fire performers, stilt walkers and LED tree shows.
Little ones can ride the Tim Hortons Express Train when the weather cooperates, and free hot chocolate is handed out while supplies last, so it makes an easy after-dinner outing.
Parent tip: Bring skates and a non-perishable item for the Newmarket Food Pantry tent, and head to the train early because the line builds after 7 pm.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
