here’s something magical about the moment December hits. Suddenly, everything smells sweeter, looks sparklier and feels a little more joyful. This year, I’ve leaned all the way into the festive season, and these are the top five things that are getting me properly into the Christmas spirit…
1. Starting the day with Sundae Body’s Candy Cane Foaming Body Wash
If Christmas had an official scent, it would be this. The Candy Cane Foaming Body Wash from Sundae Body turns an everyday shower into a peppermint-scented wonderland. It’s sweet, minty, bubbly and instantly transforms me from “half asleep’’ to “festive fairy.’’ A December essential.
RRP: $20

2. Donating a gift to the Kmart Wishing Tree
Nothing says Christmas quite like spreading a little kindness. I love choosing a gift and placing it under the Kmart Wishing Tree each year. It’s simple, meaningful and reminds me that the best part of the season isn’t the presents we get, it’s the ones we give. Instant Christmas spirit, guaranteed.
3. Cracking open a Bundaberg Spiced Ginger Beer
Summer Christmas calls for the perfect festive drink, and this is it. Bundaberg Spiced Ginger Beer tastes like gingerbread and holiday cheer had a delicious fizzy baby. It’s warm, spicy, refreshing and ideal for BBQs, picnics or sipping while wrapping gifts you swore you’d organise earlier.
4. Lighting a Glasshouse Christmas Candle – Night Before Christmas
This candle is Christmas in a jar. The Night Before Christmas fragrance from Glasshouse fills the whole home with notes of plum pudding, brandy sauce and sugar-dusted magic. One spark of the wick and suddenly it feels like Santa is genuinely on his way.
RRP: $59.95
5. Playing Christmas music way too early
Let’s be honest — the second the calendar flips to December (or slightly before…), the Christmas playlist comes out. Classics, pop remixes, crooners, carols — it all counts. Whether it’s background music while cooking or a full-blown lounge-room concert, nothing fast-tracks the festive vibe like a good Christmas soundtrack.
