For a rental car, check that you can drive it into Canada. I don’t know if you’ll be able to get a one way rental to another country. Or it could at least be very expensive. If that doesn’t work out, consider returning a car in Seattle or Bellingham, then taking the train. There is service but it may only be once per day.

On Christmas, most restaurants and all tourist attractions will be closed. You’ll likely have more options in a bigger city like Seattle. Or plan to be somewhere remote like a National Park where you’ll be eating where you’re staying anyways.

You can drive an american rental car into Canada temporarily as long as you are not a canadian citizen.

Definitely check the language in the rental contract. I have seen ones that won’t even let you drive out of state.

I worked for a car rental agency in the PNW for 13 years and during 9/11. The rental agency will generally be very careful about one way rentals but if you are not a Canadian citizen and/or returning the car back to the US you’ll be fine.
