The Ultimate Joy Bringers

This year we're celebrating the veteran joy bringers, those who hold years of Christmas wisdom - the perfected recipes, the art of wrapping, the OTT decorations. Their mission? To bring on the Joy. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and that’s precisely the point – to pass on these joyful traditions to those they love, each and every year.

How do I set the perfect Christmas feast?

Mission: Unforgettable festive feast

The Christmas table is the heart of the home, and the mission is making it unforgettable. From the centrepiece ham to platters for all types of eaters, to the fresh prawns, this is the food that brings everyone together. Finish with the classics that never fail: morish mince pies and a shimmering trifle for dessert.

Stock up on festive produce, gourmet treats, and celebratory drinks from Aldi, Coles, or your local deli, Woolworths. The joy isn’t just in the making, but in watching friends and family share every bite.

Mission: Christmas capsule wardrobe

Whether it’s the office Christmas party, the big Christmas Day lunch, or the sparkle of New Year’s Eve, the season is packed with moments that call for something special. This mission is about building a Christmas capsule wardrobe that takes the stress out of dressing and ensures every event feels effortless.

Start with a versatile denim dress as your base. Then let the details do the work: pair it with a sparkly bag and metallic kitten heels for the office party; switch to a headscarf (that doubles as a belt) and suede wedges to keep Christmas Day stylish yet relaxed; then turn up the energy with cowboy boots and bold accessories to welcome in the New Year.

With the latest looks from Seed Heritage, Uniqlo, and H&M, plus accessories that transform the same piece into three distinct moods, you’ll have a wardrobe that works harder (and brings joy) across every festive occasion.

What are the best Christmas decorations to bring the joy?

Mission: Deck the halls

Decking the halls is more than decoration, it’s the backdrop to all the memories. Fairy lights strung across the patio, wreaths on the door, a giant blow up Santa on the front lawn. This mission is about creating a space that feels inviting, festive, and full of warmth. Explore Habitania, Myer or Adairs for ornaments, styling pieces, and finishing touches that make home the true stage for the season.

Wrapping Up the Mission

Christmas legends aren’t born, they’re made, one festive mission at a time. From food to fashion to those small... or not so small home details, the joy bringers are the ones who make it all happen. With every list ticked off at Pacific Werribee, you’re not just shopping, you’re building the season’s best memories.
