Happy holidays Playback readers!

We’re taking a break for the holidays and will return to regular newsletter publishing on Jan. 4. We’d like to take the opportunity to thank you for subscribing to Playback (and for some of you, Media in Canada as well) and being a part of our community.

As you can see in the team photo below, taken on Dec. 22, the holiday weather has yet to arrive in Toronto (9 C!) but we hope you B.C. readers are enjoying the snow-filled slopes north of Vancouver and can take a good guess that you in Halifax are feeling just as not-sad as Torontonians about the delayed winter wrath.

For some light reading until then, check out our 10 most-clicked stories of the year or take a spin through our photo galleries. You can also check out back issues of the magazine or the latest news on Canadian films at international festivals.

From Playback and Media in Canada, we hope you have an amazing holiday break
