Christmas in July: The Holiday Dragons Never Actually Left

It is cold, it is July, and the Christmas dragons are technically still on the shelf. A very Australian excuse for early festive wiggles.

Christmas in July makes complete sense in Australia and we will not be taking questions. December Christmas is beaches and sweating through lunch; July is the one with actual cold weather, actual blankets, and an actual excuse for a roast.

So while the rest of the world waits for December, we would like to quietly point out that the holiday dragons never actually left the shelf.

The festive crew

Rudy the Reindeer Dragon with red nose and white antlers

Rudy the Reindeer Dragon is part dragon, part reindeer, all mischief - red nose, little white antlers, and a cheeky sparkle. Tinsel the Elf Dragon is his workshop colleague, and both come with an optional chimney bed for the full Christmas-morning scene.

Drift the Snowflake Dragon figurine

Then there is the weather division: Drift the Snowflake Dragon for the frost, Dash for the sleigh team, and Twiggly the Xmas Tree Dragon, who is a Christmas tree with legs and no further explanation.

Why bother in July?

Two reasons. One: a Christmas-in-July table deserves a tiny dragon centrepiece more than it deserves another candle. Two: people who sort their Christmas gifts in July get to feel insufferably smug about it for five months, and we support that journey completely.

The whole festive lineup lives in the Christmas collection. Mulled wine not included.
