Children’s Christmas Party
The Children’s Christmas Party is the biggest event of its kind in Queensland for kids who are sick, disadvantaged or living with disabilities and their families. The Christmas Party works with Variety and schools, community groups and government organisations to invite approximately 3,000 kids. These kids face many challenges in life including serious illnesses, physical or intellectual impairment, domestic violence, or living in underprivileged circumstances.
The Goal is simple: To put smiles on these kids’ faces for at least one day this year!
At the Children’s Christmas Party, these kids and their families are treated to a day of shows, fun rides, including the Variety Liberty Swing, interactive games, plenty of yummy food, face painting and many more activities. The highlight of the day is when the kids enter Santa’s Toy Room where they are given 2-3 high quality toys to call their own.

Variety is always looking for new ways that we can provide positive, uplifting experiences for kids. Last year, we provided tickets to sports games, the NRL magic round, movies, a ski day, Disney on Ice and Australia Zoo.
We do this to enable kids to have fun, relax, make new friends, and create special memories with their families.
Recently, Jayden got to experience the ride of his life at Queensland Raceway thanks to Bayley Hall Racing, Porsche driver for McElrea Racing. This rare and thrilling opportunity came our way thanks to Fraser & Mountain Group and Variety – the Children’s Charity of Victoria.
It was very special to see Jayden go from shy and tentative to smiling and excited! This was a positive, life-changing experience for him. Read more about it here.
