Expedia has released its 2018 roundup of the "55 Coziest Cities in Canada," and a couple of B.C. cities made the top ten.
What's more, a Metro Vancouver city made the top three. Located in the Fraser Valley, Langley was listed in the third slot for coziest city in the country.
So, what exactly makes a cozy city?
"It’s a place with attractions that provide warmth, relaxation, and community. It’s a city with a welcoming hotel at the end of the night. It’s a town that says, “You’re family here," reads Expedia.
The travel company looked at its hotel reviews with at least 100 reviews, with a comfort score of 3.5 stars and higher.

Coziest City in BC
"With berry fields and an old-fashioned movie theatre, the quaint town of Langley is a cozy place to visit just outside of bustling Vancouver," said Expedia of the Fraser Valley gem. In addition, they remarked that no visit is complete without a stop at the Twilight Drive-in, which is the city's throwback drive-in movie theatre. They serve hot dogs, candy, and offer a nostalgic vibe that's hard to beat.
They also mention that "agritourism is a hallmark of this town." Specifically, visitors may enjoy waltzing through endless berry fields and merrily trotting down lanes on horseback. They may also go on a "self-guided Circle Farm Tour to sample fruit wines and local cheese" before visiting the ultra-adorable alpaca farm.
West Kelowna nabbed sixth spot on the cozy collection, and Burnaby, North Vancouver, Richmond, and Chilliwack were also included in the roundup.
