Here are our top suggestions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Holiday Shopping<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the holidays, we prioritise buying local! There are so many wonderful discoveries to be made: crafts, delicacies, decorative items, jewellery, candles, and so much more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holiday shopping begins at Orford Music, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easterntownships.org\/events\/6352\/marche-falala-a-orford-musique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">March\u00e9 Falala<\/a>, a fabulous gathering of Quebec artisans offering beautiful local products. Stop by on November 29 and 30 to take care of all your Christmas shopping in one go (and don&#8217;t forget to treat yourself too!).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to explore the region on a beautiful sunny day? Take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chemindescantons.qc.ca\/en\/routes\/route-des-marches-de-noel.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christmas Market route<\/a>, which will lead you to various festive locations where you can do your Christmas shopping, including Granby, Bromont, Sutton, Magog, and Sherbrooke, among other stops. Check the map before you go to choose the perfect weekend for your roadtrip!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marce-falala-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"March\u00e9 Falala, Orford Musique\" class=\"wp-image-1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marce-falala-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marce-falala-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marce-falala-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marce-falala-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marce-falala-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marce-falala-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/marce-falala.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9Orford Musique<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Cultural Immersion<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing like a Christmas-themed cultural outing to get you in the festive spirit. That, and tuning into a commercial radio station that plays Christmas songs on repeat, of course!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the eighth year running, the Centre culturel de l&#8217;Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke is hosting the show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easterntownships.org\/events\/6300\/noel-une-tradition-en-chanson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>No\u00ebl, une tradition en chanson<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em> It&#8217;s the perfect event to get you in the holiday spirit! This show, with its star-studded cast including Emily B\u00e9gin, Johanne Blouin, Paul Dara\u00eeche, David Latulippe, Jo\u00ebl Legendre, Rita Tabbakh and Steve Veilleux, focuses on the nostalgia of Christmases past. A must-see!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you&#8217;re in Sherbrooke, stop by the History Museum to discover the brand new temporary exhibition <a href=\"https:\/\/mhist.org\/en\/exhibitions\/christmas-peoples-hearts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>No\u00ebls au c\u0153ur des gens<\/em><\/a> (Christmas in People&#8217;s Hearts). You&#8217;ll learn about holiday traditions from here and elsewhere through a selection of artefacts and various visual elements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the weather turns cold, all you need is a nice hot drink to warm your hands and your heart. On November 28, head to the Maison Merry in Magog for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maisonmerry.ca\/en\/events\/christmas-at-the-merrys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christmas tea at the Merry\u2019s<\/a>. After a themed tour of the current exhibitions, tea and sweet treats will be served in a Victorian atmosphere.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"594\" src=\"https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/maison-merry-1024x594.jpg\" alt=\"Maison Merry de Magog\" class=\"wp-image-1066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/maison-merry-1024x594.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/maison-merry-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/maison-merry-768x446.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bistro4saisons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/maison-merry.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9TCE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Winter Sports Activities<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>December means the first big snowfall (hopefully!)
