On a cold wintery day, there are not many things better than snuggling by a fireplace, sipping hot chocolate and eating comfort food. These are also some of the things that make the idea of a European Christmas appealing. Christmas in July is not a new concept and has been around since the 1940’s, however it’s a tradition that has gained popularity in recent years.
Its purpose is certainly not to replace the original, but given the fact that we are used to celebrating Christmas in the middle of summer, it’s a bit of a novelty to have a winter Christmas like they do in the northern hemisphere.
July is typically the coldest month of the year here in Australia and with its wintery appeal it was chosen as the month of celebration and if you’re in the southern states you could even be lucky enough to have a ‘White Christmas in July’. The colder winter weather is much more conducive to emulating the atmosphere of a northern hemisphere Christmas with big roast dinners, mulled wine, open fires and dodgy Christmas jumpers.
