Christmas in the Bay is happening TODAY and NEXT SATURDAY 🎄🎅🏼

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Christmas in the Bay 2025 is happening in TWO PARTS! 🎅🎄

With rain in the forecast for this Saturday November 22, Christmas in the Bay organizers have decided to break the annual free community event into two parts.

On Saturday November 22 from 2pm-5pm, the scheduled indoor activities will take place in the Red Roof Building at the corner of St. Margaret’s Bay Road and Sonny’s Road (on the Tantallon Village Farmers Market site). Kids can enjoy face painting, a kids’ craft, and a visit with Santa, as well as juice and a cookie. Two choirs will bring live festive music. Kids can also pick up their All-Ages Colouring Contest colouring sheet to take home.

On Saturday November 29 from 10am-5pm, the Christmas in the Bay outdoor activities will take place, with ATV hayrides from 10am to 4:30pm, hot chocolate, popcorn, hot dogs, apple cider, and coffee, and a tree lighting at 5pm. Details on a dance and choir performance are pending.

Organizers look forward to kicking off the festive season with you during the next TWO Saturdays!

Regular chiropractic is not designed for only short term pain relief. The long term goal is to have a well functioning spine and nervous system that is capable of adapting effectively to stress, preventing issues from occurring in the first place!

How about PIES this holiday season 🥧?!

Two great local businesses run by local families are teaming up to give back this Holiday season. You can order 4 different types of pies from White Sails Bakery & Deli and $4.50 from each purchase is going towards The Ken Gordon Society.

See details below on how to order ⬇️

🍂 MCSOD GIVES BACK 🍂

We are collaborating with White Sails Bakery and selling pies!! 🥧

This year, $4.50 from every pie sold will be donated to The Ken Gordon Society, founded by local Matthew Gordon. Since losing his dad in 2017, Matthew has dedicated his time to helping homeless men in recovery, hitting the streets of Halifax every few months with sleeping bags, toiletries, gift cards, and essentials — all in partnership with CN Rail. 💛

This year’s project is extra special — we’re not only helping those in need, but also supporting another amazing local business, White Sails Bakery, who has been severely impacted by the ongoing construction on Peggy’s Cove Road.

When you buy a pie, you’re helping give back twice — to our community and to a small business that gives so much back every day. 🥧✨

Orders can be placed through MCSOD between November 17–December 1 via email to mcsodgivesback@gmail.com 📧

Pickup will be December 10th at the studio.

Pies are $18 and can be fresh or frozen
•Apple
•Blueberry
•Strawberry Rhubarb
•Cherry
Let’s spread warmth, kindness, and good food — one pie at a time. 🧡

🔹Consume your last bottle around 30 minutes, or an hour before bed, and start your unwind time!

🔹Extra sleep may be needed; or beneficial to the body’s recovery. Additional water is highly recommended (adding a teaspoon of salt is extra nourishing)

What to maybe expect with a 3 day cleanse:

▪️Day 1 you can feel hungry, if you aren’t used to fasting it can feel like a lot to not eat, energy may be low, feels like you p*e alot.
▪️Day 2 you may get a headache so it’s good to keep this on a day that doesn’t require too much of you, possible low energy.
▪️Day 3 you feel awesome, you’re used to not eating as much and you’ll think you can probably keep it up for even longer.
