HERE ARE THE QUEER AND QUEER-ISH BARS OPEN ON CHRISTMAS DAY 2025 IN TORONTO

December 23, 2025

Vee Willard

Queer and queer-ish bars are havens for many on XMAS day, so we’ve listed the ones who will be open to welcome y’all

Whether you want to get your mind off of things, or you’re tapped out after a visit with family, or you simply have nothing to do, these businesses have you covered Christmas Day! A little turkey and some stuffing, a little trip to the bathhouse and some stuffing, maybe some drag  . . . let’s add stuffing to that too (fill your pockets and take it with you if you have to) – what more does a holiday need?

We hope whatever you get up on on December 25th, you feel loved and know that we love you and want to see you in 2026.
