Step Inside the Magic: Christmas at the Castle 2025

As the holiday season returns to the Canadian Rockies, Fairmont Banff Springs once again becomes a breathtaking winter wonderland, shimmering with festive magic at every turn. Step inside and experience the Castle transformed for Christmas, where hallways, alcoves, and grand spaces glow with the spirit of the season. 

For 2025, the talented Cory Christopher and his team bring a fresh, inspired vision to our holiday décor. With their signature attention to detail, they have reimagined Christmas at the Castle with whimsical touches, immersive moments, and timeless elegance. Wander through beautifully adorned corridors, marvel at the handcrafted gingerbread house created by our pastry team, or step into the North Pole for a Northern Light inspired decor. 

New this year, the Spanish Walkway has been transformed into the Balsam Hill Forest, a stunning, tree-filled winter escape created in partnership with Balsam Hill Canada. It is a serene and snow-dusted pathway that perfectly captures the nostalgia and wonder of the season. 

At Fairmont Banff Springs, Christmas is more than a celebration. It is an experience layered with creativity, tradition, and heartfelt joy.
