The Ultimate Joy Bringers
This year we're celebrating the veteran joy bringers, those who hold years of Christmas wisdom - the perfected recipes, the art of wrapping, the OTT decorations. Their mission? To bring on the Joy. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and that’s precisely the point – to pass on these joyful traditions to those they love, each and every year.
How do I set the perfect Christmas feast?
Mission: Unforgettable festive feast
The Christmas table is the heart of the home, and the mission is making it unforgettable. From the centrepiece ham to platters for all types of eaters, to the fresh prawns, this is the food that brings everyone together. Finish with the classics that never fail: moreish mince pies and a shimmering trifle for dessert.
Stock up on festive produce from Vish Fruit and Veg and Woolworths, gourmet meats from The Butchers Table, fresh seafood from Ocean Trader Seafoods, celebratory drinks from BWS, baked goods from Goldies Bake Shop, and sweet treats from Cheesecake Shop and G-Free Donuts. For wholesome additions, visit Nourish Lane for health-conscious options. The joy isn’t just in the making, but in watching friends and family share every bite.

Help with looking and feeling your best for all your festive occasions
Mission: Christmas confidence capsule
Whether it’s the office Christmas party, the big Christmas Day lunch, or the sparkle of New Year’s Eve, the season is packed with moments that call for confidence and feeling your best. This mission is about preparing yourself so you can step into every celebration refreshed, radiant, and ready to shine.
Start with a versatile denim dress as your base, then let the details do the work: pair it with a sparkly bag and metallic kitten heels for the office party; switch to a headscarf (that doubles as a belt) and suede wedges to keep Christmas Day stylish yet relaxed; then turn up the energy with cowboy boots and bold accessories to welcome in the New Year.
Complete your look with expert beauty, hair, and grooming services from Angs Barber Shop, Elegant Beauty and Brows, and Unique Hair Bar; a new outfit from Luv Linda; and a festive manicure and pedicure from Yame Nails — because confidence is the best accessory for every festive occasion.
What are the best Christmas decorations to bring the joy?
Mission: Deck the halls
Decking the halls is more than decoration, it’s the backdrop to all the memories. Fairy lights strung across the patio, wreaths on the door, a giant blow-up Santa on the front lawn. This mission is about creating a space that feels inviting, festive, and full of warmth. Explore News Extra Nerang Mall, The Reject Shop, or Woolworths for ornaments, styling pieces, and finishing touches that make home the true stage for the season.

Christmas legends aren’t born, they’re made, one festive mission at a time. From food to fashion to those small... or not so small home details, the joy bringers are the ones who make it all happen. With every list ticked off at Nerang Mall, you’re not just shopping, you’re building the season’s best memories.
