✦ Experience an Aussie Winter Wonderland with Port AdVenture Cruises this July!
Christmas in Australia is hot, hot hot! Which is a strange image to conjure up when the very word 'Christmas' calls up the sounds of a crackling fireplace, the drifting snow outside the windows, and a cup of hot cocoa in your hands.
When Santa Claus visits Australia, he's clearly not packing his traditional white fur trimmed red suit! However, Australians have found a way not to miss out on a snowy Christmas by celebrating it in July as well!
How it started
It is said to have started in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales in the 80s. A group of Irish tourists who were travelling there were delighted to see snow on their summer trip, and they convinced a local hotel owner to hold a "Yulefest" party. This got other businesses interested and they started creating their own Christmas-themed events. Soon it spread across the country and has since become a well-loved tradition.
Double the fun
Australians love to have fun, so they're up for having two Christmases in a year! July is wintertime in Australia, so celebrating Christmas then means they can snuggle up in thick blankets, tuck into a hot hearty roast and drink mulled wine! Let's face it, winter may be romantic but it can also be a rather dreary time with the cold and dark! Having a Christmas celebration helps to bring some festive cheer to the winter blues.
And when Christmas comes by in December, Australians hit the beach for a lovely barbecue and a bit of surfing after that!
How to enjoy Christmas in July
There are lots to do during this festival! Places like the Snowy Mountains are great for people who love skiing and snowboarding. Check out Yulefest in the Blue Mountains here. Restaurants typically serve traditional Christmas fare such as roast turkey, glazed ham, Christmas pudding. Towns and cities also host special events from markets to concerts. It's a great opportunity to support local businesses and talents.
And watch out for Santa! You may spot him on a surfboard out at sea, making appearances at events in bright cheerful shorts and sunnies!
