Creating Cozy Outdoor Spaces: Fireplaces & Kitchens for Holiday Gatherings

November 5, 2025

As the holiday season approaches in London, Ontario and surrounding areas, many homeowners are turning their attention to making their homes inviting and festive for family and friends. While cozying up indoors has its appeal, more and more people are discovering the magic of transforming their outdoor spaces into welcoming retreats—no matter the temperature. At Mammoth Property Services, we believe your backyard can become the perfect backdrop for unforgettable holiday gatherings with the right combination of expertly installed fireplaces and outdoor kitchens.


Why Choose Outdoor Fireplaces and Kitchens for the Holidays?


Outdoor living spaces have quickly become one of the most desirable home upgrades, especially in Ontario where homeowners value both versatility and year-round enjoyment. During the winter and holiday season, a beautifully designed outdoor fireplace or a fully equipped kitchen can turn a chilly evening into a warm and memorable celebration. Imagine sipping hot cocoa by a roaring fire, roasting marshmallows with loved ones, or preparing a festive meal under the stars—all without ever leaving the comfort and privacy of your own backyard.


Benefits of Outdoor Fireplaces: Warmth, Ambiance, and Gathering Points


A well-designed outdoor fireplace is so much more than a source of warmth. It instantly adds ambiance, creating a cozy focal point for gatherings. Whether you choose a traditional wood-burning fireplace for that classic crackling sound and aroma, a modern gas model for easy use, or an energy-efficient pellet stove, these installations extend the use of your patio throughout the winter. For holiday events, an outdoor fireplace becomes the heart of your get-together, encouraging conversation and creating lasting memories. Plus, it adds value to your property and enhances your home’s curb appeal.


Holiday Entertaining Made Easy: The Outdoor Kitchen Advantage


Cooking is at the center of every holiday celebration, and an outdoor kitchen can elevate your culinary experiences. With custom outdoor kitchens from Mammoth Property Services, you can seamlessly prepare and serve meals without the need to shuttle back and forth between your indoor kitchen and outdoor seating. Our kitchens feature weather-resistant materials, high-quality appliances like grills, smokers, and pizza ovens, plus all the storage and prep space you need.


For holiday entertaining, this means more time with your guests and less stress. Prepare festive treats, roasted meats, or even holiday cocktails in your customized space, creating an immersive and interactive event for everyone. Plus, by using durable materials and innovative designs, we make sure your kitchen withstands the harsh Ontario winters and delivers exceptional performance season after season.


Design Tips for a Cozy, Festive Outdoor Space


  • Plan for Comfort and Accessibility: Arrange seating around your fireplace for optimal warmth and intimacy. Include weather-resistant cushions, blankets, and throws for added comfort.
  • Integrate Lighting: Warm outdoor lighting or string lights create a magical holiday atmosphere and ensure your space is safe and functional, even after sunset.
  • Add Holiday Decor: Bring seasonal cheer with festive wreaths, garlands, lanterns, or themed table settings to tie your outdoor space into your holiday celebrations.
  • Shelter from the Elements: Consider pergolas, gazebos, or retractable awnings to protect your space from wind, snow, or rain, ensuring you can enjoy your outdoor retreat regardless of the weather.
  • Eco-Friendly Heating Options: Ask about environmentally friendly fireplace solutions and energy-efficient appliances to keep your holiday gatherings sustainable.
