This holiday season, elevate your backyard into a stunning oasis of festive fun and relaxation. Christmas in Australia means warm weather and outdoor living, so why not take advantage of your pool and create a tropical holiday paradise? Whether you're hosting family and friends or enjoying a quiet evening swim, your pool can be the heart of the celebration. With the right mix of Christmas decor, mood lighting, and entertainment, you can turn your poolside into the ultimate festive escape.
1. Festive Decorations
Start by adding a touch of Christmas spirit to your backyard with vibrant decorations. Hang string lights around trees, fences, or pergolas to create a warm, twinkling glow as the evening falls. Add inflatable Santas, reindeer, and colourful baubles around the pool area to amplify the festive vibe. You can even place a Christmas tree near your pool for a striking focal point. To keep it weatherproof, use outdoor-safe ornaments and lights.
2. Christmas Poolside Dining
Poolside dining is a must for a festive celebration. Set up a holiday table with seasonal colours—reds, greens, and golds—to match the spirit of the occasion. Serve summer-inspired Christmas dishes, like grilled prawns, fresh seafood, and tropical salads, to complement the warm Australian weather. You can also set up a bar area serving festive cocktails or mocktails with a Christmas twist, like cranberry margaritas or sparkling punch.
3. Pool Games and Activities
Keep the fun going with poolside games and activities for the whole family. Organise a Christmas-themed treasure hunt, floating ring toss, or a friendly game of pool volleyball. You can even host a festive swim contest where guests can wear Santa hats and holiday-themed swimsuits.
4. Festive Pool Lighting
As evening falls, the right lighting can transform your pool into a magical holiday oasis. Consider installing LED lights in your pool that can change colours, creating a dazzling visual display. Accent the area with floating candles or lanterns, and use pathway lights to guide guests around your backyard. For a more dramatic effect, you can also add underwater lights that glow in reds, greens, and golds to mimic the Christmas colour palette.
5. Holiday Music and Entertainment
Set the mood with a festive holiday playlist filled with Christmas classics and summery tunes to keep the energy high. You could also consider hiring a live band or setting up a karaoke station for some fun entertainment by the pool.
