CHRISTMAS
3 WAYS
There’s nothing merrier than waking up on Christmas morning to a warm summer’s day! The sun is shining, the kids are opening their presents and all that is left to do is set up before your guests arrive. First things first, you need to decide which way you want to entertain your family and friends for the most wonderful time of the year.
CRACKING CASUAL
CHRISTMAS
The first thing to think about is the food and drinks you’re going to serve. For a casual setting, it’s hard to go past cold beer and wine, some prawns on the BBQ, a roast lamb and of course a big Christmas ham!
STUFFED SOURDOUGH
PICNIC PULLAPART
If you’re looking for something a bit less traditional for your Christmas lunch, try our stuffed Sourdough picnic pull-apart.
CHRISTMAS TREE COB
Top it off with a show-stopping final event, our Christmas Tree Cob for dessert. It’s guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser (and keep the kids entertained)!
There doesn’t need to be anything fancy about your table set up. All you need is an outdoor table big enough for your platters and plates and to minimise washing up, we’re opting for recyclable disposable plates this year! Your guests will be more than happy to sit around with their full plates and chat the day away.
To make sure everyone is entertained throughout the day, outdoor games are a must! It wouldn’t be a summer Christmas without the whole family playing a game of backyard cricket. To add some more games into the mix, table tennis, pool games and giant Jenga are fun activities to try.
KANGAROO HATS
If the backyard games have finished for the day and the littlies are still running circles around you, our printable kangaroo hats are guaranteed to keep them occupied (at least for 20 minutes)!
A FORMAL FESTIVE
CHRISTMAS
The perfect way to start the day is with fresh oysters and cooked prawns with cocktail sauce paired with a refreshing welcome drink like our Summer Spritz. Next up is an oven-roasted turkey featuring our stuffing, maple glazed ham and a marinated salmon side.
LOOKING FOR A DESSERT TO DELIGHT?
Our Fruit Mince Tarts will get those taste buds tingling and have your guests coming back for more, or enjoy our Traditional Christmas Cakes packed with fruit.
Almost as important as the food, the dining table and decorations deserve time and consideration. While your fine China is sure to get a workout, it’s time to get creative with some of our DIY pieces. Our stovetop potpourri is the perfect place setting gift that’s sure to leave each guest with a lovely memory of the day. If you really want to make your guests feel special, our painted pinecone name placements are a fun and easy way to add a personal touch.
A SMALL AND SIMPLE
CELEBRATION
While food and drink choices may seem more challenging outside your home, there are still plenty of options. An esky full of ice and your favourite drinks solves that problem. When it comes to food, you can’t go wrong with sliced ham and turkey alongside our Panzanella Salad which is perfect when you’re on-the-go.
To finish off with something sweet to complete your Christmas picnic, look no further than our famous Lemon Tarts. Not only are these a must-have item, they are also an easy dessert that travels well… winner!
DIY LEMON
BUG REPELLENT
One thing to expect at a summer picnic is plenty of insects but our DIY lemon bug repellent will keep those pesky bugs away. Just pop some cloves in a halved lemon and say buzz off to unwanted picnic guests!
DIY BON BONS
If you’re feeling creative, our homemade colourful bon bons will definitely get everyone into the Christmas spirit. Or if games are more your style, our printable Christmas charades are certain to get everyone on their feet.
