'Twas the Night Before Christmas

The Ultimate Canadian Holiday Adventure – With a Side of Poutine!

Get ready for a Christmas adventure like no other! ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas in Canada takes the classic holiday tale and adds a generous helping of Canadian charm, humour, and a dash of poutine. This heartwarming story follows Santa as he zooms across Canada—from the frozen Northwest Territories to the coastal delights of Newfoundland—spreading Christmas cheer with his trusty team of reindeer (and a couple of moose and caribou who stepped in at the last minute, no big deal!).

As snow falls across the Canadian landscape, Santa dons his red and white, packs up his toque, and gears up for his favourite night of the year—Canada style. He’ll travel over the Rockies, swoop past Niagara Falls, and make a stop in Quebec for some much-needed smoked meat and poutine (because even Santa gets hungry on Christmas Eve!). Along the way, he encounters a few hiccups—like a hole in his sack after getting too close to the CN Tower’s antenna—but nothing’s going to stop this jolly fellow from spreading joy!

Join Santa as he:

• Delivers presents from the Yukon to Nunavut (with a few polar bear sightings along the way, of course)

• Skips the Vancouver rink for the Rockies, but not before eyeing the beautiful Lake Louise

• Puts his reindeer through their paces and gives the moose and caribou a crash course in flying

• Catches a tailwind to Banff Springs National Park (and probably tells the same story about basketball, hockey, and zippered jackets for the 100th time)

• Nibbles lobster in Newfoundland and admires the lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove—because who doesn’t love a good maritime sunset?

Packed with beautiful illustrations and plenty of Canadian pride, this large story board book brings the spirit of Christmas (and a little humour) to every page. Taffy Tales has added their signature twist to the holiday classic, making it the perfect book for your Canadian Christmas—whether you're from the coast or the prairies, or maybe just a fan of sweet berry pie.

This delightful holiday adventure is sure to leave everyone laughing, singing, and craving more poutine by the end of the night!

Merry Christmas, Canada!
