Festive Season Is On!
What is the festive season all about if it is not about spending quality time with family and friends? With such a tough 2020 it is sad to see some of our regular go to’s postponed, but also great to see so many events getting creative and going virtual or still hosting an event with safety measures in place.
Here are some of the Hood’s ways to soak up the festive atmosphere with the family this Christmas;
Carols in the Domain, Channel 7
Whilst many councils are cancelling Christmas carols this year, some places are doing things a little differently. Thank you to Channel 7 and Woolworths for bringing some of Australia’s most popular performers together for a special 2020 COVID-safe event. This year Aussie families can sing and dance to performances from the Wiggles. Enjoy guest appearances from Mickey and Minnie and the big man himself – Santa Claus! All in the comfort of their own home – what better way to get in to the festive spirit!
