‘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!)

  2. On Black Friday my husband gave me an early Christmas gift, an Acer C24-865.-EBI Unfortunately the sound stopped working within a week so he took it back on the 4th or 5th of December. They had to order a new one . I hope I still get it for Christmas

  9. I would love to have a Samsung 82″ 4K UHD HDR LED Tizen Smart TV for Christmas but don’t think it would fit under the tree.

  22. Ooh, a new laptop would be A-MAZING! I’ve been borrowing my son’s and his is terribly slow and clunky. (He’s not too thrilled about Mom borrowing his stuff, either!)

  27. First time TV Buyer and believe it or not we found the best selection and price at Best Buy at the new market location.

    Staff very helpful; great experience. all my electronic will now be bought from there.

    and anyone that ask I will also send him there.

    Thank you Guys and thank you Best Buy.

    Carlo De Pinto.

  28. Hard to limit it to just one thing, but I’d say a new samsung tablet to replace my wife’s since the screen got cracked – and no, I didn’t break it 🙂

  34. WOW!!! Such spirit! Such cheer! THANKS, BEST BUY!! 🙂
    Really ANY (or all) of the prizes are amazing! Off the top of my head, a new laptop or a ‘smarter’ TV sure would help make our home more enjoyable (family viewing time)! 🙂 More smart lights or security cameras could help keep up as safe as possible… lots to ask Santa for this year! 😉

    Merry Christmas to one and all!

  35. A new laptop for my wife as the one she is using now is an ideapad and has no memory and very slow!!! Being seniors it would be nice as a gift to her. Thanks.

  36. Would love to see a new Laptop or 10 inch tablet under the Christmas Tree with my name on it. Thank you.

  42. xbox x or s? minecraft console setup 🙂 my daughters have figured out minecraft and I haven’t had use of my iPad ever since lol #MerryChirstmas
