Homes for the Holidays returns to Cecil Green Park House at UBC for its 20th anniversary, running Friday, November 20 through Sunday, November 22. All proceeds go to YWCA BC's Housing Action Fund, which supports stable housing for single mothers and their children in Metro Vancouver.

The 2025 event raised over $134,000 for the fund from more than 1,025 attendees, according to the event website.

Five Vancouver designers transform the rooms of the historic mansion with festive decor: Jamie Banfield of Banfield Design Co., Phyllis Lui, Stephanie Brown of Stephanie Brown Inc., Dexter Dolores and Dave Demers. The event also includes a Terrace of Trees, a Boutique Boulevard of vendors, a silent auction and live music.

Friday evening's Designer Happy Hour is for VVIP and VIP ticket holders. Saturday and Sunday include a Breakfast by Design session from 10 to 11 am for VVIP and VIP holders, with general admission following. The main event runs both days.
