Christmas in Melbourne

Melbourne

 

Melbourne is an unpredictable city when it comes to weather, and you never leave the house in summer without an umbrella, jacket or hat. What more could you want on Christmas day than the unknown of what season it will be. Melbourne over December is lit up with lights, and Christmas trees and decked in absolute Christmas luxury when it comes to the famous Myer windows. People flock to see Santa in the city and line up to see the windows on the most well-known street in Victoria. 

From Lego Christmas trees and Santa on with a surfboard to huge displays that consume the city these festivities are of no expense spared and the beautiful city beams Christmas spirit. Everywhere you walk is joyous and alive making this season the most exciting time of the year.

There are so many ways to enjoy Christmas time in Melbourne, let’s see what there is to do.

  2. Walk the city at night and enjoy the city of lights – Melbourne’s display of lights is truly spectacular, with a 16-meter light-up tree, the massive light-up Christmas bauble and many other huge decorations you will not be disappointed.
  3. Visit Santa - at the Christmas square or the heart of Christmas in Melbourne for your kids to tell Santa they have been extra nice this year.
  4. Christmas Projections – The city not only lights up in December but truly skilled people project scenes, lights and motion over the city centre. Find your guide to Melbourne projections each year by visiting the information centres. 
  5. The Gingerbread Village – Located at Collins Lane some truly imaginative and creative bakers create the city’s most iconic landmarks all made from gingerbread.
