WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?

A DIGITAL CHRISTMAS IN NORTHERN BC

A Northern Heritage Christmas came about because of the COVID-19/Coronavirus Pandemic. The first winter found many of the ways that Christmas is celebrated to be different.

As our regular lives changed because of what happened across the planet, we came up with a new safer ways to celebrate and curate our existing traditions.

A Northern Heritage Christmas was our contribution to this change! Our goal is to bring our readers a new and unique hub for everything Christmas in Northern BC.
