A New Holiday Event at the Met

Debuting in December 2025, the Holiday Hive Market adds an exciting outdoor element to BC’s largest mall’s already busy Christmas season.

In 2025 the market happens on the Saturday and Sunday of December 6th and 7th. It offers visitors a chance to explore handcrafted goods, unique gifts, festive treats, and seasonal décor.

The Holiday Hive Market is put on by the people who run the Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market in the summer (and similar markets in Brentwood and West Vancouver too).

Location: South Plaza by the Dolphin Pond

The Holiday Hive Market sets up just outside the mall in the South Plaza, a spacious outdoor area near the well-known Dolphin Pond. This convenient location lets shoppers easily browse the market before or after exploring Metrotown’s 300+ stores, restaurants, and entertainment options.

Part of Metrotown’s Holiday Celebrations

The Holiday Hive Market complements Metrotown’s larger seasonal programming, which includes live music, festive displays, visits with Santa, and charity initiatives. On Saturday, December 6th, the mall hosts a special Dance Party and Toy Drive supporting the Burnaby Christmas Bureau. Shoppers who donate $20 or more (cash) are rewarded with a chance to win a prize. Also, the first 100 donors receive a free $10 Metrotown gift card.
