Christmas on the hill held in Ottawa is a highly esteemed annual event that brings together Canadians, their political representatives, and visitors from around the world. This grand celebration is dedicated to embracing the traditions and goodwill of the Christmas season, fostering an environment of inclusivity and friendship. It serves as a remarkable platform for people from diverse backgrounds to unite and revel in the festive atmosphere. The event is testament to the values of unity and joy that the Christmas season represents.

Christmas on the hill was inaugurated in 2013, by Tim Iqbal, marking the beginning of a cherished tradition. Hon. Jason Kenny graciously hosted the first event at the parliament hill, where approximately 125 individuals gathered, despite the short notice, to partake in the festive celebrations. The overwhelming enthusiasm and encouragement of those who attended played a pivotal role in the decision to establish Christmas on the Hill as an annual affair. Since that memorable first gathering, the event has been eagerly anticipated and has continued to thrive, becoming a staple of early December festivities.
