Granite Belt Christmas Farm, Queensland’s very own magical Santa’s Village, keeps the yuletide cheer going year-round, but there are two times of the year in particular when the farm shines brighter than tinsel: Christmas, of course, but also Christmas in July.
We Down Under know that you don’t need snow or even cold weather to celebrate the silly season. Plus, having winter and Christmas be separate occasions means we get to go wild twice a year! And there’s nowhere better to do so than a place that looks straight out of a Christmas storybook.
Granite Belt Christmas Farm invites you to rejoice in the magic of the festive season early with a magnificent 2-course luncheon, especially curated to highligh comforting winter flavours and seasonal favourites, perfect for a mid-year indulgence.
You can choose from regular, gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan menus, and there’s a kids’ menu as well. Regardless of which one slays your sleigh you’ll enjoy a hearty main designed to warm the soul and satisfy every appetite, followed by a beautifully indulgent dessert to finish on a sweet, festive note.
Whether you’re catching up with friends, hosting a work lunch, treating the family, or simply embracing a little festive cheer, this two-course experience delivers all the joy of Christmas — minus the December rush!
With nearby Stanthorpe’s chilly winters reaching lows of -4°C, don’t forget to rug up in your warmest winter woollies as the venue’s café is alfresco dining. We also recommend keeping warm with one of the region’s lovely wines, as the farm is BYOB, or let the sugar rush of one of their decadent milkshakes heat you up.
