Andrea Soueidan, a Lebanese Canadian entrepreneur, had a vision when she started Sip N’ Shop MTL a few years ago in Montreal. Little did she know that it would blossom into a vibrant holiday bazaar that has become a must-visit destination in the city. The event boasts a diverse lineup of vendors, mirroring the rich tapestry of Montreal itself.
Soueidan’s mission is clear – to showcase the talents of local and international businesses that may not have a physical storefront. The entry fee for this heartwarming event? A shoebox filled with $50 worth of essentials for women in shelters, symbolizing the spirit of giving during the holiday season.
One of the participants, Carolina Safi, a tablescape artist and etiquette coach, highlights the transformative power of Sip N’ Shop in bringing people together and fostering connections over shared experiences.
Attendees like Tuti Do rave about the event, citing the array of fantastic Montreal vendors and delicious treats from beloved local companies like Patisserie Marouse and Montabello.
Soueidan sums up the essence of Sip N’ Shop as a platform that not only showcases businesses but also unites the community in a festive atmosphere of giving and celebration, with over 700 attendees coming together to sip, shop, and give back.
