Discover all that's merry and bright this December

'Twas the lead up to Christmas, when all through Victoria, all the creatures were stirring, amidst festive cheer. The decorations were hung, the event planners were hectic, in hopes that Christmas and New Year's would go off with a bang...

Melbourne and Victoria are aglow with festive cheer in December. The city ramps up the fun, as decorations and installations take over Federation Square, Docklands and the Yarra River, and a range of events pop up around town. Take the kids along to the Christmas Eve Circus at Town Square, check out the festive-themed maze in the Docklands, or book in for lunch on December 25, and indulge with a mouth-watering spread of all your Christmas favourites at Melbourne's best restaurants and pubs. 

Don't forget your Christmas shopping. Wander aisles of fresh produce, arts and crafts at seasonal markets, or shop 'til you drop along the Paris end of Collins Street, or at Chadstone Shopping Centre in the 'burbs. 

As December draws to a close, pump up the energy and ring in the New Year with bubbles in hand. Bid farewell to the year in style and dance from dusk 'til dawn as the final countdown for the year ends with a bang. 

The fun is never ending in Melbourne and Victoria this festive season.
