Whether you’re after office Christmas party ideas or are looking for fun holiday activities to enjoy with friends and family, there are plenty of unique things to do in Sydney this festive season that you may have never considered!
When we’re getting ready to end the year and start the Christmas holidays, it can feel like a stressful time, especially if you’re trying to finish up projects at work while juggling the Christmas shopping and trying to find the best Christmas gifts for her or him. If you’re having family around for Christmas lunch and unsure where to even begin, feel rest assured that you can complete all of your tasks with ease.
Christmas in Sydney is all about spending quality time together with your loved ones.

Start new holiday traditions and organise fun art classes, hands-on workshops or cooking classes with your friends and family for a silly season like no other.
The best part? These hands-on experiences can help ease stress and allow your mind to switch off, which is even more vital during the month of December. Guests at your Sydney Christmas party will appreciate the opportunity to take some time out to relax, a much different pace to the rest of the lead-up to Christmas.

Make DIY Christmas baubles
And lastly, make new Christmas traditions and build new Christmas decorations with your family. A DIY Christmas bauble class is a fantastic opportunity to add new memories to your growing collection of Christmas decorations. Kids will love getting involved and feeling part of the making process, taught by a local artist. Design your own unique Christmas bauble you can hang proudly on your tree in the coming years which will help you look back fondly on the special memories you made with your family.
Melt and pour custom-scented soy candles
If you're looking for a creative and unique Christmas activity, consider joining a candle making class. Candle making is not only a great way to unwind, but it also provides you with personalised, handmade gifts that you can give to your loved ones. These classes are often available both in person and online, making it convenient for everyone to participate.
During a candle making class, you'll learn the art of crafting candles, from choosing scents and colours to mastering various techniques. You can make scented candles that capture the essence of the holiday season or create customised coloured candles that match your party's theme. These candles will not only serve as beautiful decorations but also make thoughtful, handcrafted gifts for your guests.
Pottery painting classes for personalised Christmas decor
If you're seeking a hands-on Christmas activity that combines art and creativity, consider organising a fun pottery painting Sydney class! This is an excellent way to engage your guests in a relaxing and enjoyable artistic experience. You can choose pottery pieces such as mugs, ornaments or plates, and then let your creativity flow as you paint and decorate them.
Pottery painting classes are suitable for all ages, making them a perfect family-friendly activity. Participants can create personalised Christmas decorations or gifts that they can cherish for years to come.
