‘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. Love to see Peace on Earth, but barring that a new laptop for my wife would be nice. Her current one does not support the latest updates!

  2. I would love to see a pair of Apple AirPods under the tree to use when I work out or sitting by the lake in the summer ‍♀️‍♀️❤️

  3. I would love to find a microsoft surface pro under the tree. With wife just let go maybe she should share with me.

  4. I would love a new gaming chair for my son. He will be home for Christmas after a long road as university student.

  5. I would love to see a Dyson Airwrap Styler Complete Curling Iron under the tree. My hair needs loving care.

  6. I would absolutely appreciate and have immense gratitude for a new Surface Pro under my christmas tree. As a full-time student, academic achievement is something I strive to reach everyday with consistent hard work, both in and out of the classroom. Sure, I could use a regular pen and pencil for copying down notes, a phone to take pictures of the board to later then send to my laptop for reference then note down what the teacher said on a separate medium. However, not only is that inconvenient, but it is time consuming to the point where I often see myself asking other classmates (whom have already done all tasks mentioned above on their Ipad, Surface Pro, Tabelt etc.) for these notes and answers. A Surface Pro would greatly benefit me in my studies and pursuit to have the highest marks in any classroom I am placed in.

  7. I would like to have Mac book Pro under the tree this christmas with my name “Dharna” on it. As it will really help me in my studies.
    Colleges now a days have advanced ways of teaching so a laptop would be so beneficial for me. So I would like to have it this christmas as my semester is going to start from January 2020.

  8. I would love to get an OMEN gaming monitor for my child !

    HP OMEN 32″ WQHD LED LCD Monitor – 16:9 – Black – 2560 x 1440 – 16.7 Million Colors – FreeSync – 300 cd/m – 5 ms – HDMI – DisplayPort

    It would make His Christmas!

  9. I would love a new Samsung 4K Smart tv. Preferable 60in. My current plasma is starting to show pink lines especially watching hockey games.
