3)  Australia

Australia and South Africa’s Christmas Traditions are pretty much alike:  Celebrating the summer holiday with lazy days at the beach.  Fairy lights, Christmas markets, and Carols by Candle Light events as well as schools having nativity play form as early as the end of October and November. The traditional trifle is a favorite for after Christmas lunch, which usually includes some or all of the following:  Ham / Gammon, Turkey, Leg of Lamb, salads, cherries, prawns, and much, much more.

South Africans love to braai with friends and family on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve is usually spent opening gifts around the Christmas tree.  The Australian Barbeque is also a huge favorite this time of the year.

Cape Town is the place to be!

Watching the sunsets from the beach, enjoying sundowners in Campsbay, loving a braai at someone’s home or just spending a lazy evening with a beautiful views:  Christmas is a fun time here.

4)  Hawaii

Christmas trees decorated with tropical flowers, Santa Clause in shorts and with his surfboard, festive lights at night and warm summer days, are what you can expect Christmas in Hawaii to be like.  Shhhhh………It is said that Santa Clause “comes to Hawaii to warm up before Christmas starts at the North Pole”.  Each year Hawaii plans special events in different towns to celebrate a Summer Christmas, like no other.
