LYRICS
[Verse]
Forty degrees in the shade today
Santa’s sweating in his sleigh
Reindeers lounging by the pool
While I’m dreaming of something cool
These carols sing of ice and snow
But all I see is summer’s glow
[Chorus]
It’s a December heat wave
Down here down under
Christmas in shades and thongs
Palm trees and thunder
No snow is falling
But spirits are high
Having a barbie
Under bright summer sky
[Verse]
Surfing Santas catch the waves
Christmas beetles fill the days
Mangoes ripening on the tree
Not a snowflake here to see
Trading eggnog for cold beer
That’s how we do Christmas here
[Chorus]
It’s a December heat wave
Down here down under
Christmas in shades and thongs
Palm trees and thunder
No snow is falling
But spirits are high
Having a barbie
Under bright summer sky
[Bridge]
You can keep your winter wonderland
We’ll celebrate with toes in sand
Our Christmas cards show beach and sea
Not a single frozen Christmas tree
[Final Chorus]
It’s a December heat wave
Down here down under
Christmas in shades and thongs
Palm trees and thunder
No snow is falling
But spirits are high
Having a barbie
Under bright summer sky
(One more cold drink for Christmas!)
[Outro]
One more cold drink for Christmas!
One more cold drink for Christmas!
One more more cold drink for Christmas!
One more cold drink for Christmas!

Love how this article gets the vibe of a summer christmas right. Who needs snow when you can have sun and sand? Surfing santas sound way cooler than the usual sleigh ride. Props, SupaBees!
Not sure if I could swap my white christmas for beaches though. Tradition has its charm.
Totally with you on that! There’s something special about Christmas with a twist.
Interesting article from SupaBees. I’m curious, how do Australians keep their food fresh in the heat during these outdoor barbies? Are there traditional Australian Christmas foods that are popular during these celebrations?
