Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat, and nowhere knows it better than Scotland’s capital city. As last year was slightly lacking in festive spirit, this time around we’re really going to have to make up for it, with more seasonal events than you can shake a candy cane at. From beautiful winter trails in a zoo to a screening of Miracle On 34th Street with bubbles, here are the best Christmas events in Edinburgh.
