We’re kicking off the Advent Calendar in the best possible way… in Gaspésie! Folies Boréales is the kind of place where the magic hits you the moment you arrive: heated transparent bubbles nestled among the trees, warm and friendly service, aerial courses, and that little something that makes you feel transported, even if you didn’t travel far.
Sleeping in a bubble in the heart of the forest is a moment suspended in time. You fall asleep under the stars, surrounded by nature, and sometimes even wake up to a moose wandering by as you sip your morning coffee. It’s the kind of memory that stays with your family forever.

For the second day of our Advent Calendar, we’re featuring a business filled with creativity and gentleness: Créations doigts de fées, founded in 2020 by Dinaly Laframboise in Sherbrooke.
What makes her creations so special?
Dinaly knits, crochets, and sews every single piece herself. Nothing is mass-produced — each item is one-of-a-kind and never recreated twice. You’ll find children’s clothing, scarves for dogs and cats, and everyday essentials crafted with care.
Once a month, she opens her custom-order schedule, allowing people to imagine a garment or accessory that truly reflects them. Clients love being part of the process and watching their ideas come to life in her hands.
Soft colours, carefully chosen fabrics, comfort, delicacy… Créations doigts de fées pieces make the perfect gifts, especially for Christmas.
🎁 Today’s Giveaway
A $50 credit toward a custom order is up for grabs!
All details are available on our social media.

Today, we’re bringing you to a place that never fails to amaze children: BFLY. It’s the kind of activity you end up doing year after year, simply because the magic never wears off. You step into a setting that feels straight out of a storybook, with soft colors, butterflies flying all around you, and a short introductory film that immediately captures the children’s attention. Then, you wander through the butterfly aviary, get lost in the mirror maze, and enjoy the different games depending on the center you visit. Each location has its own personality, which makes every visit feel a little different.
In Brossard, you’ll find a three-floor play structure, an indoor treetop course, and a butterfly aviary where hundreds of butterflies fly freely. The Québec City center adds a glowing mini-golf course and a luminous maze that always gets the kids laughing. And in Laval, summertime often means an outdoor aviary and inflatable games that children of all ages love.
And here’s the big news: in December 2025, a brand-new indoor BFLY center will open in Laval. It will be the largest magical amusement center in Québec, with over 22,000 sq. ft. of immersive experiences: a four-storey play structure, a butterfly-filled aviary, an immersive jungle-themed mini-golf course, the biggest BFLY mirror maze yet, party rooms, and even a dining area. It’s sure to become a new favorite for families.
Contest of the Day
BFLY is giving away a family pass (2 adults + 2 children) so you can experience the magic together.
You can enter until December 4, at noon.
For Day 4 of the Faventure Advent Calendar, we’re taking you to a place that delights both kids and grown-ups. FAB Expo, located inside Montréal’s Centre Eaton, is an immersive three-storey experience filled with colors, textures, lights, and fantastical rooms that transport you into a world of creativity.
As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere shifts. With over twenty themed rooms spread across multiple levels, each space feels like a different universe. One moment you’re surrounded by glowing neon lights, the next you’re stepping into a soft pastel environment, and then into a space that sparks instant curiosity. FAB is a sensory adventure where every corner tells a story.
FAB is the flagship project of Madame Bombance, a Montréal company specializing in immersive scenography. Their goal is to create fabulous, bold, poetic experiences—and that’s exactly what you feel as you explore rooms that seem straight out of a waking dream. Kids get to watch their imaginations come to life, while adults rediscover their inner child.
For the holiday season, FAB Expo is introducing something new: the FABulous Days. This December event features a family-friendly program including two live magic shows on December 14 with Roger the Magician. To make the most of your visit, plan to arrive an hour early to enjoy the immersive parcours before the show.
FAB also offers a family package at 85 dollars for two adults and two children—an excellent outing idea for winter weekends, holiday break or simply a colourful, joyful moment together.
Today’s giveaway includes two family passes to experience FAB Expo. A magical way to celebrate the holidays with the people you love.

I discovered Les Toits du Monde over two years ago, and it was love at first sight. Marjorie and Sylvain are passionate, gentle, and incredibly creative people. I had the chance to stay in the treehouse last March with my best friend, and we had the most amazing time. The cabin had everything we needed, we happily explored the treetop course, and we hiked up to the Captain’s Rock, which offers a breathtaking view of the forest. Back then, the pirate ship was still under construction, but I already knew it would be something extraordinary. You can feel their attention to detail in every single accommodation, each one spaced far enough from the others to ensure total privacy. It’s a place where you truly reconnect with your inner child, whether you visit with family or friends, and there’s something for every taste. A magical destination that stays in your heart long after you leave.

To launch the Faventure Advent Calendar, I wanted to begin with something that truly brings comfort — and that’s exactly what Karine Leclair offers. Karine is a doula, NLP practitioner, and the creator behind the Douces Naissances and Renaissance hypnosis audio collections. Her work was born from her own transformation: after a difficult first pregnancy and years marked by anxiety and self-doubt, Karine rebuilt her calm, confidence, and inner strength through powerful mental and emotional tools. This profound shift completely changed her life… and now she guides other women through their own journeys. I had the chance to try Karine’s hypnosis myself. I’ll be honest — I was a little skeptical at first, but open to trying something different… and I was pleasantly surprised. I feel calmer, more grounded, and more confident throughout my busy days. My stress feels easier to manage, and hypnosis has helped me slow down and reconnect with myself. I sincerely believe every woman could benefit from a moment of guided calm like this.
