The sentiment inspiring Christmas in Rundle Mall this year, home is where the heart is, has never been more fitting after the year that was.
With the unveiling of the Mall’s magical display of 10 individually themed windows marking the start of the festive season, this year’s Rundle Mall Christmas Windows bring to life the traditions of the season and reflect the gratitude of a community united by a common cause.
The state’s premier retail and lifestyle destination has teamed up with SA creatives and businesses who have drawn inspiration from the year gone by, to create what is a truly stunning collection of themed windows, each telling a story of cheer, gratitude, hope and love that will be shared by families visiting the mall across the festive season.

Mates Matter
The gift of mateship and South Australians looking after one another is the message underpinning the display of gifts artfully placed to resemble a Christmas tree. In a year when our mental health has never been more important, Rundle Mall has partnered with mental health awareness charity LIVIN and Bendigo Bank to support LIVIN’s mental health education programs in South Australian schools. The programs show teens ‘it ain’t weak to speak’ and aim to smash the stigma surrounding mental health. Visitors can support LIVIN’s work in South Australia by making a donation using the tap and go facilities at this window.

The Nutcracker
A stunning Paolo Sebastian gown evocative of the vintage toy carousel given as a gift in the infamous Nutcracker ballet production comes to life on a theatre stage specially created by the Adelaide Festival Centre, in tribute to the arts community which has been hard hit, and much-missed, throughout the year.

Hallelujah
A beautiful display of trumpets, trombones, bugles and French horns sets the backdrop for Christmas carols that will be played throughout the day and evening for visitors to enjoy as they pass by. The carols have been selected and performed by choirs from around South Australia, specifically for Rundle Mall.
