Come for the Festive Season
Whether you're shopping for a Christmas feast, planning drinks with friends or gathering loved ones around the table, Big Top Shopping Centre has everything you need to celebrate the season. From festive essentials to memorable dining experiences, refreshing drinks and entertainment, it's the perfect place to eat, drink and enjoy Christmas your way.
Ham, turkey and all the trimmings
Some Christmas traditions deserve to stay exactly where they are: right in the middle of the table.
Visit Woolworths for your Christmas ham and poultry - whole, rolled or ready to roast. Ask the experts for the right size for your gathering and for all the trimmings.
The classic glazed ham gets a fresh twist this year with cherries. Sweet, sticky and glossy, our version is piled with fresh cherries and herbs for a centrepiece that looks every bit as good as it tastes.

Summer sides
When the main event is rich, keep the sides fresh.
Fill your basket at Woolworths with summer’s best, cherries, figs, stone fruit, leafy greens, beetroot, pomegranate and armfuls of fresh herbs.
Colour is leading the table this Christmas, with deep berry tones, ruby reds and fresh greens making sides feel as special as the main event. Our Roasted Beetroot, Red Onion & Pomegranate Salad brings all three together and works beautifully with ham, turkey or seafood.

Party food, sorted
Christmas isn’t just one lunch. It’s the drinks after work, the neighbours dropping in, the family catch-up and the last-minute come over, we’ll put something out.
Something festive to drink
Christmas calls for something cold in hand. Bubbles for the toast, a cold beer straight from the fridge, favourite wines on ice and something fun and fizzy for the kids.
Alongside the classics, festive drinks are getting fresher too. Think cherries, citrus, elderflower, fresh herbs and plenty of ice - flavours made for a long Australian summer afternoon.
Head to BWS for bubbles, beer, wine, sparkling water, mixers and something special for the kids, then pick up fresh cherries, limes and rosemary from Woolworths for the finishing touches.
Our Cherry, Lime & Elderflower Christmas Mocktail is fresh, festive and just the right shade of blush. Make individual glasses as guests arrive or mix a big jug for everyone to help themselves.

Save room for dessert
Pavlova, mince pies, Christmas cake and shortbread. Dessert is where Christmas tradition really gets to have its moment.
Stop by Sweet Bloom Cafe for small classic treats ready to put straight on the table, or make the pav yourself. This year’s desserts are leaning into rich berry tones, fresh summer fruit and a little nostalgia.
Our Blackberry Pavlova with Mascarpone Cream, Figs & Blackberries takes the Australian classic somewhere a little more dramatic, with purple meringue, fresh figs, blackberries and clouds of mascarpone cream.

And for a little Christmas nostalgia, the chocolate crackle is back. Head to Woolworths for the ingredients, add white chocolate and festive decorations and try to stop at one.

Stay for the celebration
Once the food is sorted, stay for everything that makes the festive season special.
Gather your favourite people and settle in for a long lunch at Viet Haus, enjoy burgers at Hello Harry, share vibrant flavours at JUNK or raise a glass at The Architect, Pulse Bar or Post Office Bar & Restaurant.
Mix and match your celebrations. Start with drinks, stay for dinner and make a night of it. Catch up with friends, toast the year that's been and create the kinds of memories that make the festive season so special.
Because the best Christmas celebrations aren't necessarily the perfectly styled ones. They're the ones everyone lingers at long after the food is gone.
Come for the feast. Stay for the celebration.
