Celebrating the Holiday Season with the 2025 Joy Home Tour in Guelph

Welcoming the Holiday Season: The 2025 Joy Home Tour in Guelph

The holiday season in Guelph begins with a cherished tradition: the Joy Home Tour, taking place this year on November 21–22, 2025. This annual event invites guests to explore a selection of beautifully decorated homes throughout the city, each thoughtfully styled to capture the spirit of the season.

From elegant trees to inspired holiday décor, the Joy Home Tour offers a unique opportunity to gather ideas, enjoy a festive atmosphere, and appreciate the creativity of local designers and homeowners.
A Celebration With Purpose
While the tour is a highlight of the holiday calendar, it also carries profound significance within the community. The Joy Home Tour is one of the largest fundraisers for Hope House Guelph, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families experiencing food insecurity and vulnerability.

Funds raised through this event help provide essential programs and resources to more than 7,200 community members each year. Every ticket, donation, and contribution plays a meaningful role in extending hope and dignity to those who need it most.

We’re proud to support this meaningful event as a Tree Sponsor.

Guelph Comes Together to Grant a Wish 💙 It was a night to remember at the Sleeman Centre. On October 24th, the Guelph Storm took the ice — and so did our community’s generosity. As proud sponsors of the game, Coldwell Banker Neumann Real Estate helped bring together local fans, businesses, and families for a cause that means so much more than hockey. From 50/50 draws to Leafs ticket giveaways and even 25% of sales donated by Our Sock Shoppe, every cheer in the arena echoed with purpose — all in support of the Guelph Wish Fund for Children. Turning Wishes Into Reality — Together For over 40 years, the Guelph Wish Fund for Children has been making dreams come true for local kids facing life-altering illnesses, serious medical challenges, or disabilities. Whether it’s a trip of a lifetime, a dream celebration, or essential medical equipment, each wish brings comfort, joy, and strength to children and their families when they need it most. That’s why this game mattered — because every dollar raised helps make those moments possible. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we’re proud to share that this event raised $10,258.29 in total for the Guelph Wish Fund for Children — surpassing our $10,000 goal , funding the cost of one full wish, and then some! Contributions came from ticket sponsorships, 50/50 draws, Leafs ticket sales, and Our Sock Shoppe’s proceeds , each playing a part in reaching this milestone. For us at Coldwell Banker Neumann Real Estate, this partnership was about more than fundraising — it was about community, compassion, and connection. Seeing fans rally behind such an important cause reminded us of what makes Guelph truly special: our heart. To everyone who came out, donated, or helped spread the word — thank you. Together, we didn’t just cheer for a great game — we granted a wish. 💙
