Bring the Joy this Christmas

Everything you need to bring joy from Pacific Werribee

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 Target to pick out a tall new tree and tonnes of fresh tinsel. For others, it’s picking up those last-minute stocking stuffers from Kmart 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.

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 Pretty's Prime Cuts will steal the spotlight—crispy pork belly or tender turkey. And of course, it wouldn’t be an Aussie Christmas without fresh seafood from Fish Pier, 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 Ferguson Plarre Bakehouse or Coles start on Santa cookies baked with love using ingredients from Woolworths or Aldi. For those still hungry by dinner, nothing says Christmas like a relaxed baked brie, paired perfectly with refreshing cocktails made from ingredients at Liquorland

Present picking   

There’s no better feeling than reaching under the Christmas tree and handing over a gift that you’ve picked with care and consideration. Watching the unwrapping and seeing the joy on the receiver’s face is something special. Need some inspiration for your gift giving this year?    

For someone who seems to have it all, a store like TK Maxx is a treasure trove of fabulous ideas. You can also explore unique gadgets from Samsung and JB Hi-Fi gourmet food and drink sets from Habitania, or personalised keepsakes that can add a special touch from Mister Minit or Lightning Planet. Don’t forget about experiences too—a spa voucher from Luxe Therapy, a restaurant voucher from one of the Urban Diner restaurants or gold class tickets to Village Cinemas will create lasting memories.

There’s something out there to make everyone’s Christmas bright and memorable. For inspiration to cover the whole family (including the fur babies), visit our Christmas gift guide  

Don’t forget to stop past our gift-wrapping station outside Target or pick up your ribbon and wrapping from Reject Shop or Big W. If you’re wanting to involve the kids, get crafty and make a day of it, using stamps, stickers and colourful pens or tie some chocolates as a bow to add some extra sweetness to your gifts. Happy gifting!
