I'm from Mexico, and my first Christmas and new year in Vancouver was very exciting and totally different. Now I want to tell you about my experience and I want to share some tips with you..
First tip. If you want to pass the Christmas in Vancouver, you really need an umbrella, maybe this is the tip that all people can tell you (doesn't matter the season), and now I know why...., really!!! you need an umbrella and you need to carry it with you all the time (I'm not kidding). The rain is not strong, but it is really uncomfortable and annoying. it rains mildly, but all the day. Remember also to carry with some clothes for the snow and if you want to do sky or snowboarding, you'll need boots and a strong jacket. it is rare to see snow in Downtown (Center of Vancouver).
Second tip. That you need to know. The 25 of December and 1 of January all... and really all of the stores and the attractions are closed (expect the parks), so you need to make plans for these days because if you don't have a plan, you can pass a bad time.
Third tip. If you can pass this season in Vancouver I recommend that you not spend much money on shopping until Black Friday or Boxing Day. In either days, the stores have good discounts, the only problem is that you need a lot of patience and energy, because all the malls are crowded.
Fourth tip. The best attraction of this season is sport on the snow, so you need all the equipment. But if you don't have all, you can rent for one day, the average is $145 in total with pass to enter to the mountain. Or the other option you can pay $400 for one pass for all the season. With this pass you can go wherever you want and include all the equipment. The best place to do this sport is Grouse Mountain and Whistler.
