‘Tis the season for all sorts of holiday excitement, from seeing old friends and relatives to catching classic holiday movie marathons. Of course, it’s also the season for gifts and we have some ideas for you.

Click here to skip to the HOW TO ENTER section of the article.

We’ve created an Advent Calendar at the Best Buy Warming Lounge at Union Station’s “Union Holiday” event in Toronto. We then stuffed it full of the top 24 gifts of the season, including exciting tech from top brands like Microsoft, Sony, Chromebook, and more.

But even if you can’t make it to the Warming Lounge itself, we’re taking the excitement of the Calendar nation-wide with a contest designed to give all of Canada a chance to win those gifts as they’re revealed each day. And we’re hosting that contest right here on our blog.

Read on to learn more about the Lounge itself and how to enter our contest.

Experience Holiday Excitement at the Best Buy Warming Lounge

Nestled in the heart of downtown Toronto, beside the iconic Union Station’s fantastic new skating rink, is a warm and cozy haven where anyone can come in out of the cold, relax, and explore a winter wonderland of tech: The Best Buy Warming Lounge.

Our knowledgeable and friendly staff will be there to greet you, inviting you in to make yourselves at home and explore all the wonderful activities and tech we’ve got lined up for you. Devices from leading brands will be featured at the Lounge, giving you a chance to go hands-on with some of the season’s top tech.

Our Personal Gift Advisors will help you find the perfect gift for someone special. Blue Shirt Advisors will take some time to understand the needs of the people on your gift list. Then, they’ll give you some knowledgeable advice on the best gifts to give.

Nothing perks up the day quite like a fun gaming session. It’s a good thing, then, that we’ll have gaming consoles in the lounge for you to enjoy. Take home a snapshot of your day at the lounge. Our staff will be bringing around Fujifilm INSTAX mini Link Smartphone Printers, giving you the opportunity to snaps some pictures with your phone, link up wirelessly, then print out your favourite moments from the lounge. The excitement extends to social media with Instagram contests and giveaways. Visit, post, and share the fun.

What’s a holiday lounge without Santa Claus? On special weekends, the Best Buy Warming Lounge will play host to Santa himself. And you can expect other great festive surprises too.

Our Advent Calendar Wall in the Warming Lounge captures the excited anticipation of the holidays by providing a fun countdown until December 24th. Inside the Advent Calendar are Best Buy’s Top 24 gifts of the season. Each day, one of the Top 24 gifts will be unveiled in person, then shared on social media, and here on the blog. (NOTE: These gifts are the contest prizes we will be giving away in this blog contest!)

  1. Wow….this is an awesome contest…..thank you so much for the chance Martin & Best Buy!.

    This certainly was not an easy decision to choose just “one” thing from the Best Buy website for what I would love to see under the tree. Obviously, yes….I would love to see a new electronic item and something fun like that….sure.

    HOWEVER…….I, personally, need to think more “practically” and what I actually “NEED” more than what I “want”……..and also what I would “DREAM” of having (even though I know I’ll never be able to afford or receive them as a gift either). And that would be replacing my aging and slowing dying Washer & Dryer set with a NEW set from Best Buy……….most likely one of those amazing “Front Loading” Washer & Dryers that are much more Energy Efficient as well. Will just be much more cost effective for me in the long run and just make life that much better and easier for me, too 🙂

    Good luck everyone….and have a wonderful Christmas <3

  4. Just picture my smile when I see that I got HP 15.6-inch touchscreen 2-in-1 laptop like no other. It has another blockstorage, removable. I do not have to use an external drive – When it’s full. I just replace it with a blockstorage. If it’s not possible, I’ll be happy with a simple HP 15.6-inch touchscreen 2-in-1 laptop and they are the ones who believe in sheer luck.

  9. I’ll be completely honest… I would kill to see an 8K samsung TV under my tree but in a more realistic sense, I would love to see the BenQ 4K UHD Home Theatre Projector (HT3550)

  13. I would love to receive a Vitamix. My daughter is mouving out and she will bring her Vitamix!.., I cook a lot and this is almost an essentiel and every kitchen!

  29. I need that first cup of coffee and to have it ready for me right before I’m ready to head out the door would be ideal! The
    Breville Grind Control 12-Cup Coffee Maker looks and sounds amazing! Thanks for the chance at this awesome giveaway. Santa, I’ve been a really good girl!!!!!

  30. I would love to have the 16 cup Breville Sous Chef Food Processor. It would make things so much easier in the kitchen.

  32. For a long, long time already I wish for a KitchenAid Artisan Design Tilt-Head Stand Mixer – 5Qt – 325-Watt – Azure Blue. The hand kneading of the cookie dough is so exhausting!

  39. I’d love a LG 30″ 22.1 Cu. Ft. Bottom Freezer Refrigerator with LED Lighting – Stainless Steel under my tree – or I guess, it would have to be beside my tree with a bow and my name on it.

  40. A CANON PIXMA PRO100 PHOTO PRINTER & INK!!!! We have two beautiful kiddos at home and some older family that lives abroad who do not use computers. I would love to have a printer at home that prints great quality photos we could mail to our family. I would also use it for my kids scrapbooks. Merry Christmas!

  41. Under the Christmas tree I would really love to find a Vitamix. My daughter is moving out and she bring her faboulus Vitamix with her!!! This is a very helpfull thing to have. I cook a lot and my dughter Vitamix is almost an essentiel thing to have in my kitchen.

  48. My ideal headphones are the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. That would be an awesome prize. Thanks for the contest.
