Fresh New Energy, Same Heart: What’s New for the Deluxe Tour!
As the Joy Home Tour steps into an exciting new chapter under the leadership of tour founder Karen Kamphuis, we are bringing fresh energy, incredible value, and even more holiday cheer to our Deluxe Experience!
We listened to your feedback and tweaked the schedule to make your day completely seamless, taking you through the five homes on this year’s tour. This year, we’re shifting away from the evening post-tour soirée to offer a revamped Daytime Deluxe Ticket at a reduced ticket price.
Happening Saturday, November 21st.
here is how we are elevating your day
Pick Your Bus Theme & Dress the Part: We’re taking our bus themes to a whole new level! Choose your ride when you book - will you board the Candy Cane, Snowflakes, Gingerbread, or Grinch Bus? We'd love to see you channel your bus theme in your outfit for the day (costumes and themed accessories welcome, but never mandatory!). Thank you to Guelph Today, we’ll have a red carpet ready to capture your special day before you head off on the tour.
The Deluxe VIP Bus Experience:
No lines, no parking, just pure holiday fun! Enjoy a complimentary drink while you check in and get ready for departure (plan to come early!), then relax in comfort alongside fantastic hosts, interactive games, draws, and festive giveaways between stops. Stay tuned for details about the Mystery Door, which returns this year. Thank you to our sponsor, Andria Suderman Real Estate
A Delicious Festive Lunch: No need to wait for the evening to celebrate. Kevin and the team at Platters Catering are crafting a signature festive lunch to keep you fueled, refreshed, and feeling spoiled during the tour.
Upgraded The Joy Luxe Gift Bag: We’ve officially retired the vendor promo flyers! Thanks to our new gift bag sponsor, Anthony Homes, you’ll walk away with a premium Joy Luxe Gift Bag with actual holiday giftware, gorgeous jewelry, and delicious treats.
Broader Impact Across Guelph: You are still supporting the beloved Hope House Guelph, alongside two other vital local charities this year: Guelph Wellington Women in Crisis and Always With Love.
Experiencing the magic of the Joy Home Tour has never been easier, more festive, or more impactful. Gather your crew, pick your bus theme, and snag your Deluxe tickets before they sell out!
