Things to do at Christmas in Sydney What to do in Sydney over Christmas

What to do at Christmas in Sydney?

Merry Sydney Christmas

First of all get the shopping done. Give yourself a break and give them something they will enjoy:

Christmas Gifts and Gift Vouchers

Or just buy them the Sydney100 Travel EGuide

You'll find information and links to Sydney's top attractions and tours as well as local tips and advice.

Please bookmark before you start clicking in case you lose us.

Now enjoy yourself

Now that’s got that out of the way what are we going to do? If you’re anything like me you’ll be spending a lot of time eating and drinking, a visit to beach or pool (whilst eating and drinking) and spending time with friends and family (whilst eating and drinking of course).

Alternatively you might be heading off to partake in a traffic jam somewhere to be followed by eating and drinking…

If you are staying at home for Christmas you should check your local council as there may be community events of interest.

No doubt there will be numerous charities on the look out for Christmas Helpers if you'd like to lend a hand. In these uncertain times what else is there to do in Sydney over Christmas?

 

Christmas Dinner on Sydney Harbour

Christmas Eve DinnerChristmas Dinner on Sydney Harbour

Gorgeous Sydney Harbour - its a cracker

Treasure your special Sydney Harbour memories with this special Christmas cruise. Not only will you be able to feast upon all the sights and fun of a Sydney Harbour Christmas but you can also enjoy a Christmas Carvery and Seafood buffet, followed by scrumptious Xmas Pudding. This is a great way to escape the the worst of the Christmas feeding frenzy and enjoy your meal and Sydney Harbour at the same time. Relax on the alfresco decks and windows for a picturesque Xmas Evening and who knows? If you're good you may even get a surprise visit from Santa!

Sorry - Sold Out!

 

Sunburnt Christmas - 25th December, 12pm - 8pm

A Sunburnt Christmas may make you consider dumping your family and heading straight off to Bondi Beach but don't! have breakfast first. Bondi Pavilion will be the focus for thousands of Christmas happy backpackers and international travellers and, no doubt, a few absconds from family celebrations throughout Sydney. Just don't forget the sunscreen..

Christmas Windows - ends Christmas Eve

If you are in town it's worth checking out the David Jones store in Elizabeth Street for it's Christmas display and then buy something presumably(?) Alternatively, you can just watch the 'movie' and buy something online :)

On-line Gifts

Give a Gift They'll Never Forget! Imagine watching the sun rise from a hot air balloon, learning to sail or feeling the adrenalin rush of a V8 race car! With these and over 2500 unique experiences, RedBalloon offers you the chance to give someone something they've always wanted to do!

 

Things to do on Christmas Day in Sydney

A good place to be in Sydney on Christmas Day, or any day for that matter, is Sydney Harbour. The traditional thing to do on Christmas Day is (of course) to have a big lunch. Guess what, you can do both and it does away with having to cook! Seats are limited (they can't make the boat any bigger) and this will probably sell out like last year.

Sorry - Sold Out!

 

City of Sydney Christmas Smurf

Sydney Christmas

What the Lord Mayor would really like to do is go around Sydney handing out small Christmas presents and don't-forget-to-vote-for-me Christmas Cards. Sadly for her, this would be viewed quite poorly by the people that view these things, so you we get this lot instead:

Children's Christmas Concert and Tree Lighting - Martin Place - 6:00pm - 8:30pm, Thursday, 24th November

"Martin Place Christmas celebration gets brighter and better each year, with more entertainment than ever before. Hosted by Rhys Muldoon with performances by special celebrity guest Guy Sebastian [and] The Smurf Christmas Show" headline.

 

Christmas on the Green - Hyde Park - 6:00pm - 8:30pm - Thursday, 24th November

"For a more relaxed environment, bring a picnic rug and the family and join in the festive celebrations at Christmas on the Green in Hyde Park North."

Village Christmas Concerts (all 6:30pm - 8:30pm)

"City of Sydney is delighted to host a series of free, fabulous Christmas Village Concerts. This is a great way to celebrate the festive season with your children, friends, family and the local community." The council has changed the dates due to the wet weather. They will now take place on:

  • Alexandria Park, Alexandria - Saturday, 3rd December
  • Ward Park, Surry Hills - Sunday, 4th December
  • Rushcutters Bay Park, Rushcutters Bay - Sunday, 11th December
  • Turruwul Park, Rosebery - Saturday, 10th December
