We may not get to enjoy a white Christmas like our friends in the Northern Hemisphere, but what Melbourne lacks in snow, we make up for with barbecues, seafood, lunch lunches and festive lights. There's no shortage of things to do across the festive season, so get ready to fill up your December calendar.

We've also scoped the best spots where you can buy a real Christmas tree, find one-of-a-kind Christmas presents and enjoy a meal with your friends and family. 

Looking for things to do for the new year? Here are the best New Year's events in Melbourne.
