Eight Ways to Celebrate Friendsmas at Chadstone

Getting everyone together before Christmas can be a feat in itself. Between competing calendars, different budgets and the perennial question of what to do, a little planning goes a long way. 

From group feasts and '90s-inspired games to last-minute gift hunting, here are eight ways to unite your favourite people at Chadstone. 

Hole-in-one

Hole-in-one 

Challenge friends to 18 themed mini golf holes at Holey Moley, from a Simpsons-inspired living room to a Flintstones-themed course. Put your putting skills to the test and toast the game with a round of cold, crisp beers on tap at Urban Alley Brewery or an Aperol Spritz from Cinque Terre.  

Bowl a 10

Set aside a few lanes at Strike Bowling and lace up your bowling shoes. Pick your teams and spare no competition. Once the scorecards are settled, refuel with pizzas, burgers and shareable bites, then head to the cocktail bar for everything from margaritas and martinis to house made creations.

Play it Back

Play it Back 

Press play on the 90s' at Playback96 and explore interactive experience inspired by the decade’s music, toys and pop culture. Challenge your friends to Pong Party or Stop Hammer Time, then keep the throwback theme going with a Tamagotchi-inspired cocktail. 

Catch a Movie

Head to HOYTS for the much-anticipated Dunes and Doomsday, and – if you’re feeling particularly festive –treat yourself to LUX tickets, where you can enjoy a selection of delicious snacks, wine and beer, alongside the classic bottomless refills of popcorn. 

Enjoy a delicious dinner

The best catchups happen around a table. Share an Italian-inspired meal at Pastore, Thai street-food favourites at Thai Social, generously order Shanghai Red’s perfectly pleated Xiaolongbao soup dumplings by the basket, or try the newly opened Vela Thai in The Social Quarter. 

Have a shopping day out

Christmas shopping always benefits from a second opinion. Tackle the gift list together with more than 500 retailers to explore. Break up the retail therapy with coffee under the arches of AU79 or a sweet treat from Laurent. After a day on your feet, book a manicure at La Française or a restorative massage at endota spa. 

Book a luxury stay

Check into Hotel Chadstone for a luxe escape. Find plush rooms with a considered design and a heated indoor rooftop pool perfect for slow mornings poolside. Take in the skyline and retreat for a little well-earned downtime.
