Winter in Canada Vacation! Our Family Trip to a Cottage in Kawartha Lakes!

Join us for winter in Canada vacation as we highlight our week-long cottage family trip to the Kawartha Lakes. As an annual traditional Audrey's family has been renting a cabin during the heart of winter usually around Christmas and New Years to enjoy some winter activities, great food and family time. We give you a full tour of the winter cottage in Canada along with some behind the scenes action in the kitchen as we prepare meals. Togo, the German Shepperd, makes many appearances in the snow and inside of the cabin as he enjoys the vacation more than anyone. Some of the fun outdoor activities during a Canadian include going for snow walks, snowshoeing, tobogganing, ice fishing and playing ice hockey. If you're visiting Canada during the winter months we'd strongly recommend a family cottage vacation.

Winter in Canada Vacation! Our Family Trip to a Cottage in Kawartha Lakes! Travel Video Transcript:
Happy Holidays! We hope you guys had a wonderful festive season. Sam and I are currently in the Kawartha Lakes. We had a little family getaway. And spent a week here.
A beautiful cottage by the lake. So nice. This is kind of turned into an annual event. We've been having a lot of fun. Honestly, we've just been filming a few clips here and there because half of the time we forget to bring out the camera because we're just like playing in the snow or like eating with family. Or sleeping around the fireplace.
We've been capturing little moments here and there and we thought it would be nice to share it with you guys so you can see what winter is like in Canada.
So in Canada you basically have three options you can embrace winter which is what we're doing. Trying to get the most out of it. You can endure it which is to get annoyed by it. Get annoyed by the cold all of the snow and all of the hassles of winter. Or you can escape and a lot of Canadians end up going to places like Florida and Cuba to warm up for the winter.
But we've been really enjoying embracing it. For a long time, I used to want to escape it. Honestly, I'm getting into it like going tobogganing and snowshoeing and walking through the forest. Lighting a fire. Preparing really nice meals like we made turkey dinner here we had Milanesa. We drank so much wine. We were stuffing ourselves with sweets all week long. And yeah just getting the fireplace going and kind of all huddling around in the common space is just really good quality family time. Great for bonding, great for just enjoying nature as well. It has just been fantastic overall.
So now we're going to roll the footage here is what we got up to this week.
We've had some incredible meals. Lots of bacon. We've had turkey, we've had Milanesa. We've had lots of desserts and drinking lots of wine.
I feel like the waistline has been ever expanding this week but I'm okay with that. Sam is going to give us the condensed cottage tour. The cottage tour because guys it is three levels.
There is some nice decorations. Very Canadian. There is a moose. On to the main part of the house. Yes.
This is my favorite part of the house by far. Huge open living room. Big leather comfy couches. We have a fireplace that we're going to light up. The fireplace has been incredible and if you're going to rent a cabin in Canada you've got to have a fireplace.
So that is it for our weekend here in the Kawartha Lakes. We hope you guys enjoyed our little video. We had a lot of fun and hopefully, we can come back next year. That would be awesome. Third year in a row. We'll see you guys in the next video. Bye.
This is part of our Travel in Canada video series showcasing Canadian food, Canadian culture and Canadian cuisine.
