Santa loves South Australia
Santa’s Wonderland has once again partnered with beloved South Australian brands to bring a unique touch of local flavour and holiday cheer to the event, making the experience even more magical. Each partner adds something special – delicious treats, hands-on activities, and cherished keepsakes creating an immersive, family-centred celebration that warms the heart and delights the senses.
Kick off your journey at Goodstart Early Learning’s Bauble Zone, where children can colour their own Christmas baubles featuring an all-new design for 2025. This creative craft station lets little artists personalise their baubles to hang on the family tree for years to come – a delightful keepsake and a lasting memory of Santa’s Wonderland.
For those with a sweet tooth, stop by Menz’s Spin to Win at Stop 5. Little believers can spin the wheel for a chance to win a FruChocs or Polly Waffle snack pack – or even a cuddly WonderBuddy! This playful experience adds a dose of carnival excitement, with Menz’s iconic South Australian treats sure to please both kids and parents.
No Christmas is complete without a treat for Santa’s reindeer, and Pick a Local, Pick SA! has this covered. At Stop 6, families can pick up fresh Nicol carrots to leave out for Santa’s reindeer on Christmas Eve, along with a sprinkle of magical reindeer food, ensuring Santa’s team is fuelled and ready to fly through the night.
Be sure to collect your mini milk treat in the heart of the White Christmas scene, thanks to Fleurieu Milk Company. A nod to Santa’s favourite drink, this station brings a taste of a traditional white Christmas to life right here in South Australia.
