Captures the enchantment of Canada's maple syrup season!

When nights are still cold but daytime brings a thaw, the maple's sweet sap begins to flow. March and early April mark the typical time for maple syrup production across eastern and central Canada.

The experience is a true treat for the senses, whether it's thesweet scent of the boiling sap, the thrill of a horse-pulled sleigh ride, or the simple joy of watching syrup poured onto snow and twisted into maple taffy. It's folklore and tradition in an old-timeambiance, but it's also a festive—and tasty—way to bid farewell to another Canadian winter!
