They say December 25th and 26th are considered holidays but not December 24th.
Hydro One suggests putting your holiday lights on a timer so they only run during off-peak hours and to ensure they are turned off before you go to bed.
They also recommend keeping the thermostat at a lower temperature.
If you are preparing Christmas dinner in the kitchen.
Officials say when cooking on your stove, the pan should match the size of the heating element, so heat doesn’t escape.

Here are the hours you should be aware of:
On-Peak is 7am-11am and 5pm-7pm
