The holidays are just a couple of weeks away, and in the meantime, there are some very exciting Edmonton food events.
This month has some of the city’s favorite seasonal food events like holiday markets, Christmas buffets, and of course, Ikea’s super popular annual feast. There were many food spots that opened up last month as well, so checking those out should also be on the to-do list.
Here are the best Edmonton food events to check out this week in December.

Our favorite build-it-yourself giant furniture is once again hosting its Swedish-style Christmas feasts this year, otherwise known as Julbord.

VIP Buffet & Beer
The Canadian Icehouse is the hot new spot in the Ice District, and this event is the chance to experience it VIP style.
