The snow-dusted streets, twinkling lights, and cozy corners beckon you to slow down, savor the moment, and create cherished memories. Whether you’re here for the festivities, quality family time, or a tranquil retreat, Quebec City in winter has something for everyone. And with our exclusive winter offer, there’s no better time to visit.

Here’s how to make the most of your winter getaway.

Imagine wandering through charming wooden stalls, the scent of mulled wine (my personal favorite!) mingling with roasted chestnuts, and festive melodies filling the air. The German Christmas Market in Quebec City is a holiday treasure trove with five locations to explore. 

Open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from late November through Christmas, it’s perfect for:

• Family Fun: Shows and entertainment for kids.
• Shopping Enthusiasts: Unique gifts and handcrafted goodies.
• Foodies: A delectable selection of seasonal treats.

Whether you’re sipping warm mulled wine or picking out artisanal holiday gifts, the market is a heartwarming way to immerse yourself in the season.

Winter is all about warmth and comfort, and what better way to enjoy it than by creating a meal in our fully equipped studios? At Studio Cohen, we’ve tested the perfect recipe for a cozy night in: creamy tomato pasta. Simple to make, yet rich and delicious, it’s a surefire way to warm your soul after a day of exploring.

For your ingredients, don’t miss La Réserve, a charming gourmet store on 3rd Avenue you can’t miss with its bright red signboard. Owned by the talented chef Claire, La Réserve offers an array of international products perfect for whipping up a quick yet satisfying meal. From premium pasta to rich tomato sauces, fresh Parmesan, and artisanal cheeses, you’ll find everything you need for your culinary adventure. Claire herself is always happy to share tips and recommendations for a delicious home-cooked meal.
