The Ultimate Joy Bringers

Big Top Shopping Centre is on a mission to make joy bringers out of all of us. We’re here to help you take joy to the limit this season.

This year we're celebrating the veteran joy bringers, those who hold years of Christmas wisdom - the perfected recipes, the art of wrapping, the OTT decorations. Their mission? To bring on the Joy. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and that’s precisely the point – to pass on these joyful traditions to those they love, each and every year.

 

Christmas Prawns Nanna and Granddaughter with Christmas Ham Christmas Desserts

How do I set the perfect Christmas feast?

Mission: Unforgettable festive feast

The Christmas table is the heart of the home, and the mission is to make it truly unforgettable. From the centrepiece ham to platters that cater for every guest — and, of course, the must-have fresh prawns — this is the food that brings everyone together. Finish with timeless favourites like moreish mince pies and a shimmering trifle to end the meal on a sweet note.

Stock up on festive produce and gourmet treats from Woolworths, and raise a glass with celebratory drinks from BWS. The joy isn’t just in the making — it’s in watching friends and family share every bite.

Mission: Christmas capsule wardrobe + feel-good festive look

Whether it’s the office Christmas party, the big Christmas Day lunch, or the sparkle of New Year’s Eve, the season is packed with moments that call for something special. This mission is all about creating a Christmas capsule wardrobe — and a complete feel-good festive look — that takes the stress out of getting ready and ensures every event feels effortless.

Start with versatile pieces from Cotton On, Fame Fashion, Retro Superstar, and Native Threads to build your base. Add a touch of shimmer with accessories for the office party, switch to a chic headscarf and suede wedges for a relaxed yet stylish Christmas Day, and turn up the energy with bold accessories and statement shoes to welcome the New Year in style.

But the festive magic doesn’t stop at fashion. Complete your look with a glowing manicure or pedicure at Vinnie Nails and Beauty, a fresh holiday haircut at Hair 10 Quick Cut, and flawless finishing touches from Beauty Hub to perfect your Christmas glow.

With this combination of fashion, nails, hair, and beauty, you’ll not only look the part — you’ll feel the full Christmas spirit from head to toe.

What are the best Christmas decorations to bring the joy?

Mission: Deck the halls

Decking the halls is more than just decoration — it’s the backdrop to all your Christmas memories. Think fairy lights strung across the patio, a wreath to welcome guests at the door, and maybe even a giant blow-up Santa on the front lawn. This mission is all about creating a space that feels inviting, festive, and full of warmth.
