Even if you don’t love to ‘shop till you drop,’ shopping trips can feel magical when you spend them somewhere special. Mississauga is renowned for its spectacular shopping options, from boutiques, to markets to malls. During the winter months, they’re decked out in decorations – while offering some of the best deals of the year, so you can enjoy beautiful historic streetscapes or urban settings while you check off your list. Whether you’re collecting gifts for loved ones or simply looking for a fun day out, add these spots to your list.
If you’re looking for a picturesque stroll while you shop, look no further then downtown Port Credit. Filled to the brim with unique small businesses, you’re sure to find a one-of-a-kind gift here. With beautiful streetscapes to enjoy while you browse, delicious restaurants and bakeries, and a short walk to the waterfront with its striking lighthouse, this is the ideal spot to kick off a shopping getaway.
Indulge in a charming shopping spree in Streetsville! Nestled with quaint, locally-owned shops, the village is perfect for discovering hidden gems and finding that perfect something for that special someone. Plus, during the holiday season the village comes alive with holiday cheer, with festive decorations in the storefronts and square.
Mix your shopping day with some fun! With over 330 stores, Square One is perfect for anyone looking for the biggest brands. From fashion to tech, you’ll find everything you’re looking for under one roof, along with lots of restaurants and activities when you’re ready for a break. Square One also offers a variety of convenient amenities, including stroller rentals and family washrooms. For a VIP experience, valet parking is available.

For a quicker indoor shopping trip, Erin Mills is a perfect option.

Bonus: there are always tons of mall events happening, from sales and contests to seasonal markets and entertainment.
