Christmas in Adelaide brims with holiday joy and happiness, and there is a wide range of things one can do here during the festive season. Here are 5 festive activities that you simply shouldn't miss in Adelaide in December.
To say that the Giant Christmas Tree in Adelaide is an icon would be an understatement; it towers 25m into the air and is impossible to miss. The Christmas tree in Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga will have approximately 13,600 individually programmed LED lights illuminating it, and the lighting loops will run for around 10 minutes each. The fountains beneath will also be turned on so that the children will have a way to cool themselves during the warm summer evenings. It's well advised to find hotels in Adelaide city for accommodation that is centrally located in order to participate in all the festive activities. You can also enjoy the Christmas celebrations and spirit at hotels like Avani Adelaide Residences too.
Moonlight Cinemas consistently delivers when it comes to feel-good Christmas films leading all the way up to the big day. They usually will play host to a number of our favourite holiday movies, including "The Grinch Stole Christmas", "Elf", The Holiday", "Love Actually", and "Home Alone". Check out the schedule for all of the movies that will be playing in December online.
At this special event, you are invited to go on a gastronomic journey unlike any other. For the 'Dining in the Dark' Christmas Edition, all the lights will be turned out, and participants will be required to wear blindfolds. The goal is to pay attention to several sensations, such as taste, scent, texture, and sound while eating a meal with a festive flavour. The evening will provide you with a drink along with a two-course dinner that will transport you back in time to 1601.
The Christmas Wonderland Festival is held in Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga in the centre of the city during December. Come evening, the square will be transformed into a mystical location full of vibrant colours, live music, food vendors, and merry-making acts that are sure to put a grin on anyone's face who isn't offended by a little bit of Christmas shenanigans.
Adelaide does have another surprise for you during Christmas. There will be a number of colourful and intriguing-looking boxes dispersed about Adelaide. These boxes make use of a free app, which allows you to embark on a digital journey. If you are participating in the Christmas Cracker Trail, you will have the opportunity to enter a raffle for a chance to win 1 of the 1,000 crackers, each of which contains a unique assortment of enticing treats as a prize.
