Aussies are very lucky because unlike most other countries, they get to celebrate Christmas twice. Yes, twice, meaning that they can enjoy double the fun each year! When the weather gets cool around winter, it means it's time for unique Christmas in July parties!Like the rest of the world, Australians celebrate Christmas in December even though it’s in the middle of the southern hemisphere winter. And as the weather drops from June to August, they go into party mode again for one more round of food, drinks and happiness. Looking for some new things to do on these colder days? From chilling on a Sydney Harbour cruise to partying on the mountains, here are some party ideas out of the box!Chilling in Sydney Harbour Party CruiseWhile it may be cold for some people, going on a Sydney Harbour cruise to party in style and luxury is always a good way to spend weekends.Getting a party boat for hire, chilling on the deck while feasting on a sumptuous feast and fine drinks. You’ll get to enjoy beautiful sites like Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House in the winter sun for a nice touch.You can even enjoy a classic Aussie barbeque while relaxing with a bottle of beer. And if you’re brave enough, swimming in the harbour is also possible. Hiking Party To the Blue MountainsIf your group is up for an adventure in the mountains, a hiking party up to the Blue Mountains might be worth checking out. Plenty of campsites are available where you can catch the sunrise while drinking your morning coffee.You might even get to see where the mountain gets its name when the plans release their blue haze that covers the mountain. So always be ready with a camera in hand!It might be too cold for some but with the right gear, you’ll be in for a nice bushwalking treat!Whale Watching PartyEvery May to August, around 30,000 whales pass the Sydney coastline into northern waters for feeding and breeding. And since they swim close to the shore, Sydneysiders and tourists get to see them swim shallowly as they jump up and down the water.If watching these magnificent creatures is one of the checkboxes in your bucket list, then a Whale Watching party is right up your alley.By getting a private boat hire in Sydney, you can turn it into a memorable Christmas in July party complete with food, drinks, and even gift giving! You can also opt to hike into the tall cliffs in Sydney for another view. A walk up to Cape Solander at Kurnell will let you be at the centre of the whale watching game. For those of you who want to watch the whales and see the harbour from a unique point of view, getting on the trail to Fairfax Lookout in North Head will be your choice of venue.Sand Sculpture PartyBondi Beach in summer is a must-see site, and Bondi Beach in winter won’t lose in terms of visual appeal. Take the kids out on the beach and have some fun with the sand.Aside from sandcastles, you can do some “Snowmen” and “Santa Clauses” using the sand and get that white Christmas feels.Looking for unique Christmas in July parties?
