Hoops, Narnia & Bollywood: Toronto's Chilly Charms on Dec 28

Welcome to Things to Do in Toronto, listeners! I'm Ollie Bennet, your globe-trotting sports nut turned city explorer, buzzing with energy for Toronto's wild winter vibes on this crisp Sunday, December 28th. Picture snowy streets sparkling under holiday lights, a chilly bite in the air around 0°C with flurries dancing—perfect for cozy indoor adventures and that electric end-of-year buzz as we wrap up 2025.

Kick off your day with hoops action: the **Toronto Raptors** tip off at 3:30 PM at Scotiabank Arena against a fierce rival—grab tickets on StubHub for slam-dunk family fun[11]. Families, dive into Soulpepper Theatre's "Bad Hats’ Narnia," running through today at the theatre, a magical musical twist on C.S. Lewis with puppets and wonder that ends December 28th—pure kid-approved escapism from Family Fun Canada[2]. Culture lovers, catch the **Candlelight Tribute to A.R. Rahman** at 8:45 PM at Metropolitan Community Church, where strings glow under flickering lights for an intimate Bollywood-inspired serenade, tickets from $27 via Concerts50[1]. Night owls, rebel at **DJ Borhan & DJ Taba** at Rebel nightclub starting evening hours, Persian beats pumping for a high-energy dance frenzy that spills into Monday, per Eventbrite[9]. And don't miss a **guided walking tour in Rouge National Urban Park**, wrapping up today with tales of nature and Indigenous stories, listed on the City of Toronto's events calendar[12].

Local buzz: Harbourfront Centre's art exhibitions are free and open daily, fueling that creative spark[4]. No big transit hiccups reported, but bundle up for TTC rides amid the snow.

Must-dos today? Storm Scotiabank for Raptors fever—I'm obsessed with their quirky plays—then hidden gem: wander Bloor-Yorkville's lingering Holiday Magic lights for festive photo ops[2]. Seasonal thrill: chase indoor warmth at a Nutcracker afterglow if you're near the National Ballet spots.

Local tip: Toronto's "TTC locals" swear by the Streetcar 501 Queen for dodging traffic like pros—hop on for waterfront views without the freeze.

Tomorrow? More holiday holdovers like Champions of Magic at TO Live[10]. Tune in for the scoop!
