I didn't do much shopping in Halifax but when my girlfriend and I were in Quebeck for Winter Carnaval last year we found a great Christmas shop in the upper part of town at "A Fantastic Village" on rue de Buade, a permanent Christmas village display utilizing, among its well presented displays, at least 275 porcelain buildings and 1,500 figurines. There's another Christmas shop nearby with wonderful Santas, a train display etc. The stores in the lower town had lots of Christmas things too.

In Halifax there are quite afew shops along the water front boardwalk that do sell Christmas things year round. We were down yesterday looking around and found some nice things.The information desk at the pier can give you directions to the shops which are within easy walking distance of the ship.
