Quebec: Do you enjoy sleeping in a nice cold room? For those of you that prefer chilly temperatures indoors, a great hotel for you to stay at in Quebec is the Hotel de Glace (Ice Hotel, in English.) Although it is a bit pricey, the packages include a night at another hotel for your luggage and shower needs, as well as dinner and drink perks. You also get a distinct experience in the igloo-like room as you cozy up in your Nordic sleeping bag.

PEI: This is the only time you can really get away with wearing lame Christmas sweaters and Santa hats. You can run, walk, or cycle as many as 2, 4, 6 or 8 kilometres. There's a voluntary donation of a toonie or a food item for the Montague Food Bank at the starting point, so break out that sweater and join a good cause.
Newfoundland and Labrador: Last, but definitely not least, is a ziplining adventure in Newfoundland. Marble Zip Tours offers ziplining, as well as snowmobiling and a beginner/intermediate/advanced level spider challenge, which is an awesome obstacle course for you to conquer.
