Canada’s Walk of Fame is turning up the holiday cheer with the return of the 2nd annual Rock the Halls at Toronto’s legendary El Mocambo on Saturday, December 20, 2025. This one-night-only benefit includes exciting live performances and festive fun in support of Daily Bread Food Bank.

Headlining the night is global pop star Priyanka along with YASSiN & Sean Terrio, alumni of the Canada’s Walk of Fame RBC Emerging Musician Program, in collaboration with Stingray. They’ll be joined by additional Emerging Musician Program alumni, including: Annabel Oreste (2025 Grand Prize Winner), Jennarie (2025 2nd Prize Winner), and Maya Malkin (2020 alumna), celebrating the season with music, joy and community spirit.

Attendees can also enjoy a silent auction, holiday photo activation, and participate in an on-site food drive collecting non-perishable donations for Daily Bread Food Bank. All proceeds from ticket sales and the auction will go directly toward helping families in need this holiday season.

When: Saturday, December 20, 2025
Time: Doors 6:30 PM | Show 7:30 PM
Ticket Link: Purchase Tickets Here
Ticket Price: $25 Advance | $30 Door
All proceeds benefit Daily Bread Food Bank.

“The Emerging Musician Program has always been about more than performance; it’s about building community through music. Rock the Halls captures that spirit perfectly,” said Griffin Sokal, Director of Marketing at Canada’s Walk of Fame. “With the continued support of RBC and Stingray, and the commitment of program alumni YASSiN & Sean Terrio, we’ve turned what started as a small idea into something that makes a real difference for families across our city through Daily Bread Food Bank.”

Since 1983, Daily Bread Food Bank has been working to meet emergency food needs across Toronto while advocating for long-term solutions to end poverty. Operating through more than 200 programs and distributing food via a 108,000 sq ft distribution hub in Etobicoke, the organization embodies the idea that “food is a human right.”

Earlier this fall, members of the Rock the Halls lineup and the Canada’s Walk of Fame team volunteered at Daily Bread’s Etobicoke facility — preparing meals, learning about the organization’s impact, and seeing first-hand how community support transforms lives.

About Rock The Halls

Originally conceived by co-presenters YASSiN & Sean Terrio as a small independent holiday show, Rock the Halls has grown into a full-scale benefit concert — bringing artists, partners, and audiences together through music.

Presented by Canada’s Walk of Fame, RBC, and Stingray, with support from Live Nation Canada as Community Partner and Anthem Music Group as Supporting Partner, Rock the Halls 2025 continues to unite artists, audiences, and organizations in the spirit of generosity and music.

Audible, a leading provider of spoken word entertainment, has announced Reset Your Health with Jamie Oliver, launching globally on Thursday, January 8th, 2026. The brand-new Audible Original podcast, created and hosted by chef, author, and child health campaigner, Jamie Oliver, takes listeners on a journey to better understand their health and wellbeing.

Each episode of the six-part series sees Jamie tackle a new health topic with the help of a leading expert, cutting through the noise of confusing wellness advice. From uncovering the mysteries of the gut with Dr Emily Leeming and the impact that chewing soft foods versus crunchy foods has on our health with Sarah Berry, to exploring why bacon sandwiches are so irresistible with geneticist Professor Giles Yeo and learning how to protect your memory as you age with Professor Rose Anne Kenny – this insightful series is packed with practical hacks and science-backed insights to help listeners live healthier, happier lives.

Jamie and his expert guests show that improving your health only takes curiosity, small steps and willingness to try new things. Through relatable stories, from sneaking more vegetables into family meals to mastering better sleep routines, they make lasting change feel achievable for everyone.

Jamie Oliver said: “Our health is the most precious thing we have, but right now, the food environment around us has never been unhealthier. Where we live and where we work, everywhere we go, we’re surrounded by a majority of unhealthy choices. It’s hard to know what to do, which is why I wanted to make this podcast, joined by experts in their field, to unpack what we can all do to make some positive changes. We don’t have to get it right all the time but making good food choices, getting more sleep, knowing more about our gut, trying some hacks, all of this has the potential to really transform our lives and happiness.”

Aurelie de Troyer, Head of Regional Content, Europe at Audible added: “Jamie has this incredible knack for making complex topics feel like a conversation with your friend. This isn’t your typical wellness podcast – it’s Jamie being genuinely interested about the science behind why our bodies do what they do, and that curiosity is absolutely infectious. Timed perfectly for the new year, we’re excited for our listeners to join Jamie on this journey.”

Reset Your Health with Jamie Oliver is Jamie’s latest venture in his journey with nutrition. 10 years ago, he studied at St. Mary’s Twickenham University under Professor Ann Kennedy and Gill Horgan for a Royal Society of Public Health Level 4 Award in Nutrition in order to immerse himself in a deeper understanding of our bodies’ relationship with food, how what we eat affects us, and the impact it can have.

Blending expert advice, storytelling, and Jamie’s trademark warmth, insight and humour, Reset Your Health with Jamie Oliver joins Audible’s extensive roster of critically acclaimed wellness podcasts, including Sleep Sound with Sienna Miller (“Calming”: The Guardian), Hack your Body and Heal your Mind (“This eight-part podcast series may be your next best step”: The Independent) and Derren Brown’s Boot Camp for the Brain (“Highly enjoyable!”: The Observer)

Reset Your Health with Jamie Oliver, an Audible Original podcast, will be exclusively available from January 8th, 2026 at audible.ca. Available to pre-order now. Membership may be required.

MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, is proud to announce that the latest film from US auteur Kelly Reichardt (First Cow, Showing Up), The Mastermind, will be available to stream exclusively on MUBI from December 12, 2025.

In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney sets out on his first heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks. Rich in textured detail, this sly depiction of an era subverts long-held illusions and confronts disillusionment.

The Mastermind stars Josh O’Connor (Challengers, La Chimera), Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza), John Magaro (Past Lives, First Cow), Gaby Hoffmann (Transparent, Girls), Bill Camp (12 Years a Slave, Joker) and Hope Davis (American Splendor, Synecdoche, New York). The film made its debut in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and Reichardt has since earned a Best Director nomination and Josh O’Connor for Outstanding Lead Performance at the Gotham Film Awards.

Additionally, releasing in January 2026, The Mastermind from MUBI Editions is a beautifully designed box set comprising four booklets that document the making of Reichardt’s 2025 film. Through personal reflections, photographs, and fragments of memory and ephemera, Reichardt and her collaborators offer an intimate look into the craft, camaraderie, and attention to detail that shaped the project.

The collection features:

A critical essay by Lucy Sante

An exploration of artist Arthur Dove by Alec MacKaye of the Phillips Collection

Exclusive production photography

Striking reproductions of Dove’s work

Together, the materials build a richly textured portrait of the film’s world and its meticulous period design.

The Mastermind is the inaugural title in the MUBI Editions “Lights!” series, dedicated to MUBI’s own productions and releases. It follows Read Frame Type Film, the first book in the “Projections” series, published in 2025.

Souvankham Thammavongsa has been named the winner of the 2025 Giller Prize for her novel, Pick a Colour, published by Knopf Canada, taking home $100,000.

The announcement was made at an award ceremony hosted by the incomparable Rick Mercer. The ceremony was broadcast on CBC, CBC Radio, CBC Listen, and streamed on CBC Gem and the CBC’s YouTube channel.

The remaining finalists, listed below, will each receive $10,000:

● Mona Awad for her novel We Love You, Bunny, published by Scribner Canada

● Eddy Boudel Tan for his novel The Tiger and the Cosmonaut, published by Viking Canada

● Emma Donoghue for her novel The Paris Express, published by HarperCollins Canada

● Emma Knight for her novel The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus, published by Viking Canada

The longlisted and shortlisted authors, as well as the winner of the 2025 Giller Prize were selected by an esteemed jury panel: Dionne Irving (jury chair), Loghan Paylor, and Deepa Rajagopalan. On September 15, the jury narrowed down over 100 submitted works to a long list of 14 titles. The shortlist of five was selected on October 6, and just this morning, the jury met to select tonight’s winner.

Of the winning book, the jury wrote:

In Pick a Colour, a former boxer-turned-manicurist spends an ostensibly ordinary summer day at her salon, quietly navigating the tension between her outward anonymity and her sharp, deeply intelligent, inner life. In this exquisite novel, intelligence isn’t inherited through education, status, or privilege–it’s earned. With an inimitable style that decentralizes the English language, crackling wit, and profound confidence, author Souvankham Thammavongsa challenges our biases and insists that we never look at a nail salon, or its workers, the same way again. A master of form and restraint, Thammavongsa once again affirms her place as one of the most vital literary voices of our time.

Souvankham Thammavongsa is the author of four poetry books and the short story collection, How to Pronounce Knife, winner of the 2020 Giller Prize and 2021 Trillium Book Award. Her stories have won an O. Henry Prize and appeared in The New Yorker, Harper’s Magazine, The Atlantic, The Paris Review, and Granta. Pick a Colour is her first novel.

Relive the winning moment by visiting GillerPrize.ca, CBCBooks.ca, or CBC Gem to stream the ceremony on demand.

Images from tonight’s ceremony will be available on the media resources page.

As part of the Giller Prize’s ongoing #BookTalk series, Toronto’s Union Hotel will host a ticketed event on November 18, featuring Souvankham Thammavongsa in conversation with author and journalist, Noah Richler.

For the seventh year in a row, the winner of the Giller Prize will be honoured at the San Miguel Writers’ Conference & Literary Festival in Mexico. Founded in 2006, the San Miguel Writers’ Conference is a premier international literary event set in the vibrant cultural heart of Mexico.

The event will take place on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 4 to 5 p.m. local time.
