If you're new to Australia and wondering what Christmas looks like Down Under, we've got you covered! You'll find that Aussie Christmas is all about giving.
Australians enjoy celebrating, and Christmas is no exception. Families frequently gather for large meals along with all the fixings in addition to exchanging gifts. Barbecues and outdoor games like cricket are popular throughout the summer. Many Aussies can also be seen at pools or on the beach.
If you want to wow your guests with an impressive Christmas dinner, look no further than these stunning Christmas roasts. With all your Christmas side dishes, this kind of entrée presents many options: whether you go for pork roast, beef tenderloin, roast turkey, or ham. They're pretty enough to be the centerpiece of your holiday table and large enough to feed a crowd.
Seafood platters are famous all year round in Australia, especially at Christmas. Compared to a traditional roast, seafood takes virtually no preparation and barely any cooking. It's perfect for sharing and catering to all tastes, therefore simply add whichever seafood you like for an ideal Australian Christmas meal. How about combining fresh king prawns with scallops, lobster, and barramundi, and smothering it in a mouthwatering lemon garlic sauce?
Many Australians spend Christmas with good friends and family. One dish that many of us like to eat is beef rib roast with trimmings. It’s simmered for hours until it’s truly tender and juicy. But, if you think that's amazing, you should try a Yorkshire pudding.
This fresh seafood platter is filled with prawns and scallops, lightly breaded, and prepared in our lemon garlic sauce. Served on a bed of arugula topped with a drizzle of olive oil, it’s the perfect light meal for a warm summer evening.
In Australia, the pavlova is a symbol of the Christmas season. The Pavlova dessert was named after the famous Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova. The dish is made with a fluffy meringue topped with homemade whipped cream, and fresh fruits, like mangoes and passion fruit.
For many, Christmas Day simply wouldn't be the same without Smoked oysters. It is an inexpensive, yet luxurious dish, with succulent oysters on a bed of bacon and Worcestershire sauce. If you're after a show-stopper this Christmas, why not attempt to cook some Oysters topped with Worcestershire sauce and crispy bacon they are positively scrumptious.
Eggnog is about getting together with family and friends for a celebration. There’s something about that sparkling spice, and the alcohol, that makes it taste so special compared to run-of-the-mill blended drinks. Nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice: we all associate these festive flavors with eggnog, but now you can create your own versions using some tasty alternatives.
Over the holiday period, fruit mince pies are a standard in many Australian homes. They're made from dried mixed fruit, Granny Smith apples, and almonds. It's always fun to cut out cookie-cutter shapes for the top of the tart shell dough. They make gorgeous gifts wrapped up in their own crust, complete with a ribbon to finish.
Gingerbread cookies are without a doubt one of our favorite Christmas treats. We love the smell of freshly baked gingerbread in our homes as it reminds us of Christmas baking traditions.
After you've baked these, try decorating them with licorice and other candies before the icing dries.
Chocolate Ripple Log Cake is an all-time favorite Australian dessert made using Arnott’s famous Choc Ripple biscuits, covered in copious amounts of whipped cream, and decorated with more chocolate bars and fresh berries.
It’s the ideal solution for when you realize on Christmas Eve that you haven’t prepared a dessert yet, and want to ensure you get a good night’s sleep to be able to deliver the presents come morning!
