Figuring out what to cook or contribute to a Christmas Day feast isn’t always easy. Fortunately, The Good Food & Wine Show Christmas Market is here to offer plenty of inspiration, taking over the ICC Sydney with a food-filled wonderland from Friday, November 21–Sunday, November 23. Bringing together over 150 different exhibitors from across Australia, this is your chance to sample all the festive bites and sips needed to make your holiday season a delicious success.

Meanwhile, the market is stacked with festive gifts and knick-knacks, so you can get your Christmas shopping sorted long before chaotic queues put a dampener on your merry spirit. “The Christmas Market is all about helping people discover unique gifts, get inspired into the kitchen and kick off the season surrounded by the best food, drinks and festive cheer,” says Mike Bray, Managing Director at SpecTAPular.

For those heading along, The Festive Kitchen returns by popular demand, featuring top-notch culinary stars like Miguel Maestre, Kirsten Tibballs and Valérie Henbest. Spanning fascinating live demos, each will showcase their best tips and tricks to make this year’s Christmas feast your best one yet. Plus, Secret Sips sessions invite guests to free 30-minute tastings where they’ll put their palate to the test through a blind experience.

Alongside dedicated wrapping stations, the chance to win awesome prizes from spin-the-wheel games and a who’s who of makers and producers, guests will also get to taste two exclusive treats. Munch on Miguel’s Crispy Christmas Pork, the ideal centrepiece for your dining table, and an inventive chocolate made by Kirsten Tibballs, combining the festive flavours of Christmas cake crumbs with orange and almond.
