The 2025 edition of the Vankleek Hill Christmas Home Tour returns on Saturday, November 8, 2025!
Six heritage homes are in this year’s line-up.
For the first time, 2926 Cassburn Road will be part of the Christmas Home Tour, and a cute home at 107 Higginson Street is also making a debut appearance on the tour. This expansive stone home is a landmark and the new owners have transformed it into a gorgeous living space. Visitors will enjoy the main floor, second floor and third-storey primary suite. The proportions in this home make it a stand-out, not to mention the interior stone wall accents which highlight heritage throughout the home. The decorator team says they are up to the challenge!
We will be featuring a brick heritage home on High Street which has undergone a transformation to a multi-generational home, as well as a beautiful large addition. This home was built on a grand scale and so are the improvements done by the homeowners. This one is like a two-for-one, and may give you ideas if you happen to live in a large home.
At the end of own, 140 High Street will be open to visitors, with its large main floor, solarium addition, four-bedroom second storey and upstairs recreation area complete with pool table.
Also on High Street, homeowners known for getting into the spirit of every holiday will be decking out their home with their incredible array of holiday decorations, inside and out, upstairs and the main floor, with an emphasis on all things vintage!
Home tour organizers invited the homeowners at 29 Stanley Street into showcasing their home, which also features so many vintage items! This home is a real treat and has the feeling of yesteryear, enhanced by the homeowners’ love of hand-made things, many of which are the handiwork of the lady of the house. Look for old-fashioned pretty things and a cozy, welcoming theme throughout this home!
One or two specialty vendors will be set up at each home. This year’s focus is deliciousness! That means there will be at least one vendor at each home offering something tasty to eat or drink.
Church luncheons, bake sales, shuttle buses, the Vankleek Hill Farmers’ Market, a craft show at Ecole St-Gregoire at 50 Home Avenue and more activities are in the works and will be posted on the Vankleek Hill Christmas Home Tour website shortly.
The Christmas Home Tour returned in 2024 after a pandemic hiatus. A priority for this year’s event is to ensure that line-ups move quickly.
“There were a few hiccups where the lines grew long and weren’t moving. This year, we are having a war-room meeting ahead of time with our front-door volunteers and our supervisors to ensure that we are on top of our game,” said Sproule.
“Ensuring that everyone enjoys their day and has time to visit the homes, have lunch and take in the activities they want is all-important,” said Sproule.
This year’s event is being officially presented by Louise Sproule and Amelou Holdings, which is once again sharing the proceeds of the event with six community organizations.
Applications from local not-for-profit organizations are being accepted until August 30, 2025. To apply, send the names of six volunteers available to accept a four-hour duty shift on tour day, and be sure to include volunteer contact information. The names of the selected community organizations will be announced on September 15, 2025. To apply, or to find out more, email: [email protected].
