Christmas lands in summer here, so the sunscreen goes in with the Santa hat. The Salvation Army's Carols in the Domain gets the city singing under the stars, and Santa turns up at Darling Harbour on a jet ski. Sydney Fish Market even runs a 36-hour seafood marathon for Christmas. Got a carols night or a market we should know about? Send it in, as we keep this list current through the 2026 season.
