As the festive season fast approaches, Mirvac Retail’s A Wonder Full Christmas campaign is being rolled out across its shopping destinations in Queensland, NSW, Victoria and the ACT with each centre hosting a festive program of events and activities tailored to their community, while supporting local charities, schools and organisations.
Alison Flemming, Mirvac’s General Manager – Portfolio Management, Retail said Mirvac Retail Centres are bringing Christmas to life with opportunities to celebrate every little moment, with everything from Santa photos with pets, twilight markets, breakfast with Santa, The Nutcracker ballet, free workshops and even Santa’s Express – all part of A Wonder Full Christmas.
“A Wonder Full Christmas is about leaning in to the traditional spirit of Christmas. Christmas will come to life at our Centres with a sense of nostalgia, through bespoke characters and theming that reminds of us of special childhood Christmases and traditions,” said Flemming.
