We all know someone who loves Christmas a sprinkle more than the masses, going out of their way to spread cheer and make the season brighter. They’re the Cindy Lou Who’s and Buddy the Elf’s who add that extra little sparkle with each step, and this year we’re following in their footsteps. As November tiptoes in, the Christmas feeling starts to sweep over us. It’s a season bursting with wonder and celebration, where the true joy-bringers emerge, grinning from ear to ear.
Preparing for the big day looks different for every family. For some, it’s heading to Kmart to pick out a tall new tree and tonnes of fresh tinsel. For others, it’s picking up those last-minute stocking stuffers from EB Games or swinging past BWS for a bottle of festive cheer before the cooking begins.
Come December, make sure you’re prepared with all the essentials you need to bring joy to those nearest and dearest. After all, we can’t leave all the hard work to Santa! Together, let’s make this the merriest season yet.
The moment you step into a family home at Christmas, you can feel it in the air—it’s without doubt the most wonderful time of the year. Whether you’re surrounded by relatives or friends who feel like family, there’s a special magic when everyone comes together to celebrate.
With the scent of cinnamon candles from Kmart wafting through the rooms and holly hanging from the ceiling, even the grinch would be jolly! Creating a stunning Christmas table is effortless with elegant crockery from Nextra and Kmart. Add a dash of seasonal charm with red ribbon bows, sparkling fairy lights, and delightful holiday décor from Kmart, bringing everyone into the spirit of the season.
But the festive fun doesn’t have to stay at home!

Christmas cooking
Come Christmas morning, after the gifts have been unwrapped, it’s time to head to the kitchen and start cooking your festive feast. For those who love a traditional baked lunch, the toughest decision is which roast from The Butcher Block will steal the spotlight—crispy pork belly or tender turkey. And of course, it wouldn’t be an Aussie Christmas without fresh seafood from Lakes Seafood, featuring a herby crusted salmon fillet that’s bound to dazzle.
Once the mains are enjoyed and savoured, there’s always room to bring more joy with your fave desserts. Dive into Grandma’s favourite mince pies from Aldi or start on Santa cookies baked with love using ingredients from Coles and Woolworths. For those still hungry by dinner, nothing says Christmas like a relaxed baked brie, paired perfectly with refreshing cocktails made from ingredients at Liquor Land.
