You don't get many Christmas carollers on your doorstep these days, but there is still a lot to sing about during the holiday season.

For those who can't get enough of Christmas music, this chorale carol showdown on the city streets is a must-experience event this December.
Called Yule Duel, this fun, festive, free event takes place outside in Gastown, and finds dozens of local choirs and singing groups going head to head in an exciting sing-off fundraiser.

Participating groups raise funds to get into the Yule Duel, with those bringing in at least $1000 heading to the mainstage. Fans can cheer on their favourites, while a panel of judges cast their votes for their picks.
All of the funds raised from Yule Duel go to May's Place hospice.
