Like a dreamy winter snow globe, the enchanting 1829 McArthur Estate radiates a special magic wrapped in holiday decor. Guests will be offered a glass of Peller Estates bubbly as they wander through fairy tale rooms, bathed in the ambience of the festive season. Santa, the Grinch, and friends will be waiting en route as live music provides the perfect accompaniment. 
 
Finally, with hot apple cider in hand, guests will be invited to stroll down Victorian pathways, past snow-topped statuary and ice-capped ponds, to cozy up around crackling fires and savour the beauty of this magical event.

There are many surprises in store for the children attending as well, including a Candy Room and treats.

This event has been made possible by the incredible generosity of the McArthur family. They embody the spirit of Christmas, community, and compassion throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does the day tour work? Where do we start? This is a self-guided tour. You can start at any of the six main houses to get your stamp and your printed booklet with the map of sites. Once you have your stamp, you can view the sites in any order you wish. Many of the properties are close together and easily walkable if you are fully mobile, however, some distances will require a vehicle. There is plenty of parking in town and in the area but individual homes will have limited street parking so plan your route accordingly. Please see our parking suggestions. There will be a link to download a pdf of the booklet with the map on the website, so you have a starting point.
 
Where do we go for 'A Merry & Bright Christmas at the McArthur Estate'? Please go directly to 210 John Street East at the specific time and date on your ticket, and park along John Street. Parking is free.
 
What if I have limited mobility?  Please email us at notl.hht@gmail.com for individualized instructions.
 
Can I buy tickets at the event? Tickets are available ONLINE ONLY. 
 
Is my General Day ticket valid for both days? YES, you can use your General Day ticket for both days between 9:30 am and 4:30 pm. A Merry & Bright Christmas is separate and only for a specific date and time.
 
Can I get into houses at 4:30 pm? The houses will close at 4:30 pm, so you are advised to be at your last house of the day at least an hour prior. Sometimes line-ups can be long, so it is better to get there early.
 
What's the refund policy? Your donation benefits local and international projects. View our Projects section on this website to see the organizations we support.
 
Are there line-ups? Please allow 30-40 minutes at some of the houses. Sometimes changing the order of the homes from the listed order can help. We will have hourly line-up notifications via email to provide options for shorter line-ups.
 
Can I bring my pet? Sorry but there are no pets allowed in any of the homes.
 
What shoes should I wear? All houses have a 'shoes off' policy, so it is advisable to wear shoes that slip on and off easily. Also, you will be standing for long periods so something comfortable and warm is advised.
 
Can I take photos inside or outside the homes?Photography inside the homes is not allowed except for individuals who have received prior permission for marketing or news purposes. You may take photographs of the homes’ exteriors. 
 
Enjoy the 26th Annual Holiday House Tour!!
