TORONTO, Nov. 3, 2017 /CNW/ - Hudson's Bay and Saks Fifth Avenue unveiled their much-anticipated, annual holiday windows to Toronto on Thursday, November 2.

HUDSON'S BAY SHAKE UP YOUR HOLIDAYS
Hudson's Bay's Shake Up Your Holidays windows are designed to take bystanders on a whimsical journey as seen through the lens of enchanted snow globes. Each of the five animated windows boasts a unique scene, bringing viewers from the North Pole Arctic Adventures and Santa's Magic workshop to Christmas in the City set in Toronto, with a few magical stops in-between.
This year's snow globe theme windows feature:
- Santa's Magic: A modern-day Santa looks into his globe
- Arctic Adventures: Two polar bears meet for a celebratory high-five in an arctic scene
- Winter Woodlands: A rabbit ventures toward a magical tree with woodland creatures
- Holiday Circus: A vintage-style circus is conducted by the master of ceremonies
- Christmas in the City: Starry holiday scene is set against Toronto landmarks
"Year after year, Hudson's Bay's windows bring joy to the city of Toronto and we are incredibly excited to unveil our new theme "Shake Up Your Holidays," said Alison Coville, President of Hudson's Bay. "Toronto is a special place to be during the holidays and experiencing our windows - whether for the first time or as part of a longstanding tradition – brings the magic of the season to life."
SAKS' ONCE UPON A HOLIDAY
Saks, in collaboration with Disney, transformed its Queen Street windows into an enchanted forest in celebration of the 80th Anniversary of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Each window showcases unique holiday fashions to inspire passers-by. The Yonge Street windows include five interpretations of Snow White's iconic dress, all conceived by Costume Designer Michael Southgate and set against the ethereal forest backdrop.
