    Don’t Worry About the Weather… Québec City Heats Things Up

    While embracing the cold is part of the fun, Québec City knows how to heat things up so you can get the most out of New Year’s. Nestled in the middle of historical buildings that give the city its unique charm, the Toboggan event spreads a contagious warmth, even under the snow! Sit around outdoor fireplaces and take advantage of heated terraces (and a few cocktails!). Of course, the party itself will heat things up rather nicely as well.
