Join us for an on-campus winter wonderland — there’s “snow” place like it! ❄️
Will there be snow? Not sure. Will there be festive, seasonal fun? Definitely. The Holiday Market offers something for everyone, whether you celebrate holidays at this time of year or not. Let’s treat ourselves to some festive fun with student-submitted menu items at La Piazza, support local and student-owned businesses in cozy cabins, enjoy international student performances, learn more about end-of-term academic and self-care support and more.
Plus, enter for a chance to win Dinner in the Dome for you and three of your friends. Open to McMaster students only. Contest closes, November at 12:00 p.m. ET.
The Holiday Market is brought to you in partnership by the Student Success Centre, McMaster Students Union (MSU), MSU Campus Events, Alumni Association and McMaster Hospitality Services.

Taste of Home: Only for a limited time
November 27 to December 1 (La Piazza)There’s no denying that food has the ability to make us feel at home, no matter where we are. And we recognize that not everyone can travel home for the winter break.
As voted by students, Taste of Home highlights four dishes submitted by international student and McMaster alumni community, that remind them of home and will be featured at La Piazza, all week long.
- Bánh mì (Country of origin: Vietnam)
- Sour and spicy potato (Country of origin: China)
- Crêpes (Country of origin: France)
- Cabbage rolls (Country of origin: Russia)
Together, let’s bring a piece of home to McMaster for the holidays!
Taste of Home is brought to you in partnership by McMaster Hospitality Services and the Student Success Centre.
