Whether you’re treating yourself, shopping for gifts, or just want to get into the Christmas spirit, Urban List has you covered.
Here are the best Christmas markets in Sydney in 2025 for shopping, eating, and spending time with family and friends.
Double Bay Christmas Festival
Steyne Park, Double Bay | Sunday 23 November
What's better than a waterfront Christmas festival packed with artisan goods, festive homewares and fashion, gourmet food and Christmas treats?
One that also delivers a full stage program with live music and entertainment, and a carol service run by some Aussie hard-hitters: Sheppard, Dami Im, Hugh Sheridan and more. BRB, we've got to warm up our vocal chords.
