Nothing says Christmas on the Gold Coast like being outdoors by the water enjoying all the classic festive traditions…with a side of high-end shopping and dining of course! Ticking all the boxes, Sanctuary Cove is transforming into an Aussie Christmas wonderland, and this local icon sure knows how to leave a fa-la-la-la-lasting impression.
All December long you can enjoy a range of celebratory events and interactive displays, enchanting kids and big kids alike. Strike a pose with the huge Christmas tree or the gigantic Christmas present, and snap ‘elfies to your heart’s content! Take your mini-me and their letter to Santa and watch their face light up as they place it in the North Pole mailbox. Plus, mark the following in your calendar because trust us, these festive activities are the best thing since sliced (ginger) bread!
