Christmas Lane, Morpeth
While Sydney is currently gearing up for the holiday season with its annual roster of dazzling light displays, festive markets where you can fill your bags with everything from seasonal treats, handcrafted gifts and twinkling decorations, pop-up events perfect for the whole family and neighbourhood lights, there’s one dedicated Christmas wonderland that is well worth the drive out over a weekend this December. Providing a less crowded alternative to the city’s seasonal rush, Christmas Lane operates as a dedicated walk-through space for holiday decor. The entire interior is utilised for display, filled from floor-to-ceiling with themed collections, lighting features, and ornaments. The shop features various sections for your holiday needs ranging from traditional snowscapes and classic colours to nativity scenes and more.
Located in Morpeth in the Hunter Valley, this is an easily accessible day trip for Sydneysiders. Consider pairing your visit with a pitstop at the spectacular Hunter Valley Gardens, home to the largest Christmas lights display in the Southern Hemisphere.
