Sydney’s biggest Christmas night market has returned, and this year it’s pouring something special.

The Jolly Christmas Night Markets debut Sydney’s first Wine and Distillery Village from 11th–21st December, complete with free tastings, boutique spirits and organic wines.

Across 11 festive nights, visitors can wander through stalls hosted by Australia’s top winemakers and craft distillers. You can sample everything from small-batch gin to new-wave whisky. Even better, the market offers a full lineup of free masterclasses, including Whisky Deep Dives, Gin Discovery, French Wines, Rum Sessions and Australian Spirits 101. Each session is intimate, flavour-led and guided by industry experts.

Beyond the drinks, the market serves a full feast. Expect mulled wine, festive cocktails, street-style bites, seafood, dumplings, wood-fired pizza, gingerbread and giant cookies. With fairy lights overhead and Sydney Harbour as the backdrop, it’s the kind of event where you sip, stroll and let Christmas unfold around you.
