When festive lights go up, the spirit of the season comes alive and the magic of the holidays warms Vancouver, Canada unlike any other time of year but unless you’re here, it’s hard to put in words the joyous feeling around the city.

Luckily for us, this time lapse video does a fabulous job of capturing the energy of being in Vancouver, BC during Christmas. Created by a local action sports video production company, watch as the video takes us on a journey to the beautiful lights around town.

The short video was filmed at some of the great spots in Vancouver to see holiday lights including Stanley Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Robson Square, English Bay and other locales. I hope you like it!
