An Aussie Christmas: Native Florals, Summer Table & Decorations
Australian Christmas Decorations & Summer Table Ideas
Native florals, gum leaves, parrots, kangaroos and a table set for lunch in the sun. Christmas, the way we actually do it.
Most Christmas decorations were designed for a northern winter. Here it's 30 degrees, lunch is on the deck and the kids are in the pool by 2pm. An Aussie Christmas leans into that: native florals and gum leaves instead of snow, parrots and kangaroos instead of polar bears, and a table that can handle the sun.
Every product below is in stock online now. For the tree, the lights and the rest of the house, start with our 8 step Christmas decorating guide, then use this one to give it a native twist.
Heads up: the native gift bags and the big inflatables are the first to go every year. If you want them, grab them now.
Your Aussie Christmas checklist
Six easy swaps that make the whole house feel like an Australian summer Christmas.
Wrap it in native florals
Swap the snowmen for gum leaves and native blooms. These gift bags are the fastest way to make every present under the tree look Australian, and at a few dollars each you can do the whole family. Grab a bottle bag for the host and an XL for the big gifts. Browse all Christmas gift bags.
Give the tree a native twist
You don't need a whole new theme, just a few hero pieces. Hang the parrot and eucalyptus baubles at eye level where the light catches them, tuck mini eucalyptus wreaths through the branches, and send native Christmas cards to the rellies. For the rest of the tree, see our Christmas baubles.
Native floral and Aussie animal gift bags in every size, from $1. Wrap the whole family's presents for less than a takeaway coffee each.
Shop Christmas gift bagsSet a summer table
Christmas lunch here usually means sun, seafood and a pav, so set a table that can go outside. This eucalyptus range matches from the tablecloth down to the cake stand, and melamine won't shatter on the deck. More ideas in Christmas tableware.
Sorted for the backyard
For the Christmas Eve barbie or the cricket on Boxing Day, nobody wants to wash up. These Aussie native designs match the rest of the table, so the paper plates still look the part. Shop all Christmas partyware.
Inflatable kangaroos and koalas, wattle wreaths and garden stakes. The house the whole street walks past to see.
Shop outdoor decorationsOut the front, Aussie style
Skip the reindeer and let a kangaroo and a koala welcome the neighbours. A wattle wreath on the door, a garden stake by the path and an inflatable on the lawn turn the whole front yard Aussie. See more outdoor Christmas decorations.

Aussie Christmas FAQs
What is an Aussie Christmas theme?
It swaps the snow and pine for things that feel like an Australian summer: native florals and gum leaves, wattle, parrots, kangaroos and koalas, and a table set for lunch outside. Mix a few native hero pieces in with your usual decorations rather than starting from scratch.
How do I set a summer Christmas table?
Start with a light tablecloth, add shatterproof melamine chargers and a cake stand that can go outside, and keep the centre low so people can talk across it. Gum leaves down the middle cost nothing and look great.
Are melamine plates good for outdoor Christmas lunch?
Yes. Melamine is light and won't shatter if it gets knocked off the table on the deck or by the pool, which is why it suits a summer Christmas.
