The holiday season is almost upon us. If you’ve been looking for gift options that make your loved ones happy and give back to an organization you’d love to support at the same time (ahem: Trans Canada Trail), we’ve got you covered!  

From cozy socks to tasty treats and epic adventures, here are our top holiday gift guide picks that spread cheer and support the Trail. 

Trail tales from across Canada: Tidewater Press 

Not the Same Road Out is a new short-story collection from BC-based Tidewater Press, featuring 13 tales – one from each province and territory across Canada – inspired by the one and only Trans Canada Trail. Until December 25, 2025, $5 from the sale of each book will be donated to Trans Canada Trail!

A little sweetness and a lot of good will: Peace by Chocolate 

Offering four delectable flavours of Trans Canada Trail-inspired chocolate, these Peace by Chocolate bars make thoughtful (and tasty) stocking stuffers – and they’re also great energy boosters to bring along on Trail outings. Bonus: $1 from each chocolate bar is donated to support Trans Canada Trail’s important work from coast to coast to coast.

The gift of great adventures: Great Canadian Trails

Great Canadian Trails offers guided or self-guided options for cycling, hiking and experiencing the best of Canada’s natural environment – and trails – from cycling the P’tit Train du Nord in Quebec to hiking through Newfoundland and much more! Planning is all taken care of; all you have to do is show up and enjoy! A $50 donation to Trans Canada Trail is made for each travel package booked that includes a section of the Trail.
