For a holiday celebration on the water, Christmas carol cruises embark Sundays at 6 p.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. during the entire month of December. A traditional Christmas-dinner buffet lets passengers get their fill of roast turkey, honey-glazed ham, stuffing, and a bounty of vegetables and other sides, culminating with a slice of triple-chocolate cake. After dinner, holiday music and a Christmas sing-along get passengers in a festive spirit before dazzling their eyes with the sights of the Carol Ships Parade of Lights, along with colourfully lit buildings along Vancouver Harbour, Granville Island, and False Creek. Accent Cruises is located directly below the Public Market in a blue-and-yellow floating office next to the ferry dock ramp.

Accent Cruises

As the sun sinks below the English Bay, the lights of downtown Vancouver flicker on. Accent Cruises’ fleet of yachts provide panoramic views of this crepuscular splendour as they glide past Burrard Inlet, Point Atkinson, and Whytecliff Park during private and public charters. The event planners at Accent Cruises strive to match the opulent backdrop of international ocean freighters and coastal mansions with equally lavish cruises. A resident chef prepares B.C. salmon and roasted chicken during the dinner cruise, and 200 party guests can carouse on the M.V. Burrard Queen's deck for private charters. Vessels come with stereo systems, fully stocked bars, and at least one passenger who used to be a class clown, further enlivening cruises.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: Impromptu Holiday Games

With holiday season in full swing, there's no shortage of dinner parties to attend. If your host doesn't own any board games, save the evening by suggesting a game that can be played without gaming equipment:

Bang, Bang, Hear, Hear: Have one person grab a fork, spoon, and knife. After everyone else closes their eyes, the person holding the utensils will start banging one of the three against the dinner table. The first person to correctly guess what the banger is banging wins and gets to leave the game.

Noise Town: Break off into groups of two. Each pair builds a unique city by creating a soundscape using the sounds that come out of their mouths. The team that builds the loudest town gets the grand prize—getting to wait outside until the other teams stop.

My Country, Your Country: One person starts the game by approaching another person and saying "My country." The person has to respond, as quickly as possible, "Your country?" The first person then must say "My country" again, this time faster than the second person said "Your country?" This keeps going until everyone feels compelled to simultaneously shout "The holidays: are these not the finest times of our years?" Then everyone gets to leave.

Should December be called Game-cember?
