Holiday home tours returns

The Homes for the Holidays tour is returning after a year-long break, bringing the spirit of the season to life with six decorated homes in Kelowna and West Kelowna.

The self-guided tour on Nov. 16, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., will showcase unique holiday décor.

This year’s event, which benefits the Central Okanagan Hospice Association, offers a glimpse into six private homes transformed into holiday wonderlands, each with its own distinct theme:

• A rustic-meets-modern home featuring lush greenery and creative personal touches
• A dazzling, glamorous display that radiates holiday magic
• A classic Christmas-inspired home wrapped in ribbons, boughs, and timeless charm
• A serene sanctuary in soft whites, creams, and delicate pink and blue hues
• A festive extravaganza with countless twinkling trees and a resident elf spreading cheer
• A home that reimagines holiday traditions with a vibrant Mexican twist

“This is such a special time of year, and there’s no better way to get into the holiday spirit than by attending this year’s Homes for the Holidays,” said Natasha Girard, executive director of the Central Okanagan Hospice Association.

“We’re so grateful to the homeowners and designers who have made this event possible. All proceeds will support COHA’s palliative care and grief services, helping us continue our work in the community.”

In addition to the decorated homes, visitors will be able to enjoy live music and the opportunity to shop for holiday gifts from local artisans and artists.

For over 42 years, the Central Okanagan Hospice Association (COHA) has been providing compassionate support to individuals facing life-limiting illnesses and their families.

COHA’s services focus on enhancing the quality of life for patients while supporting their loved ones through grief and healing. For tickets and more information, click here.
