Shorter days and cooler weather can only mean one thing: winter is coming.
While Ontario is chock-full of wintry events and cheery holiday markets, it’s easy to long for the warmth of the summer.
Thanks to travel companies like Transat, Sunwing, and Air Canada, it’s easy to book an all-inclusive vacation package straight out of Toronto Pearson International Airport. We’ve curated five unbeatable deals for a quick southern holiday, and don’t worry — none of our recs have anything less than a four-star rating.
