From November 14 to December 24, 2026, Promenades St-Bruno will transform into a festive destination with its Santa’s Kingdom experience—a spectacular 36-foot indoor Christmas tree and a gift-wrapping kiosk supporting local food bank Moisson Rive-Sud.
The big new attraction this year?
A 10-foot-tall Advent calendar, custom-made in Québec from maple wood, which will reveal a new surprise every day from December 1 to 24.
Meet Santa in his Christmas kingdom
Starting November 14, Santa Claus will welcome visitors to his own festive kingdom, where children can share their Christmas wishes and pose for keepsake photos.
He’ll be joined by Mrs. Claus and his elves, while his traditional period-style costume adds a nostalgic touch to the experience.
Visits will primarily be available by appointment, with bookings made online through the Santa Claus by Appointment service. Check out the link here.
Subscribers to the Promenades St-Bruno newsletter will get priority access, while a limited number of walk-in spots will be available, subject to availability.
A 36-foot Christmas tree takes centre stage
No holiday shopping trip is complete without a festive photo op. This year, visitors can admire a towering 36-foot indoor Christmas tree, decked out in sparkling lights and set to become the centrepiece of the shopping centre’s holiday decorations.
Discover daily surprises with a giant Advent calendar
The newest addition to the holiday lineup is a 10-foot-tall Advent calendar, custom-made in Québec from maple wood. From December 1 to 24, visitors can discover a different surprise each day, including special offers and promotions from the shopping centre’s retailers.
Think of it as an extra reason to stop by while ticking gifts off your Christmas shopping list.
Give back while getting your gifts wrapped
There’s also a charitable element to the festivities. Promenades St-Bruno is partnering with Moisson Rive-Sud to offer a gift-wrapping kiosk, where visitors can have their holiday purchases wrapped while supporting the local food bank and its community work.
The holiday programming runs November 14 to December 24, 2026, making it a festive stop for families and holiday shoppers on Montréal’s South Shore.
