The Fairmont Vancouver Airport held a special festive edition of their afternoon tea, benefiting Make-A-Wish Foundation, with the man in red himself.
Attendees enjoyed a festive afternoon tea menu, a visit from Santa, live music, balloon artistry, and other special surprises.
Proceeds from every ticket went to Make-A-Wish Foundation, granting the wishes of children living with life-threatening conditions.
I attended the event with my older son, D, and here a few captures from the afternoon.
