Santa loves South Australia

This year, Santa’s Wonderland has partnered with beloved South Australian brands to bring a unique touch of local flavours and holiday cheer to the event, making the experience even more magical. Each partner has added something special, enhancing the wonderland with delicious treats, hands-on activities, and cherished keepsakes. Together, they’ve crafted an immersive, family-centred experience that warms the heart and engages all the senses.

Kick off your journey with Goodstart Early Learning’s Bauble Zone, where children can colour their own Christmas baubles featuring an all-new design this year. This Christmas craft station encourages creativity and lets little artists personalise their baubles to hang on the family tree for years to come. It’s a delightful way to take home a cherished keepsake and a lasting memory of Santa’s Wonderland.

For those with a sweet tooth, head over to the new FruChocs’ ‘Spin to Win’ station at Stop 5. Little believers can try their luck, spinning the wheel for a chance to win either a FruChocs snack pack or a cuddly WonderBuddy. This playful experience adds a dose of fun and carnival excitement, with FruChocs’ iconic chocolates providing a local taste that parents and children alike will enjoy.

No Christmas would be complete without leaving a treat for Santa’s reindeer and Pick A Local! Pick SA! has this covered. At Stop 6, families can pick up fresh, crunchy Nicol carrots to leave out for Santa’s reindeer on Christmas Eve. The kids can also gather magical reindeer food, ensuring Santa’s team is fueled and ready to fly through the night on Christmas Eve.

As you make your way through, don’t miss out on collecting your mini milk treat in the heart of the white Christmas scene thanks to the Fleurieu Milk Company. A nod to Santa’s favourite treat, this station brings a taste of a traditional white Christmas to life right in South Australia.

Silent night…

SACARE has added a thoughtful touch with a quiet zone for those who may need a break from the festivities.

It’s a wonderful space for children who may be sensitive to sensory stimulation, ensuring everyone can enjoy Santa’s Wonderland at their own pace.
