Christmas in Australia is celebrated on December 25th, just like in many other parts of the world. However, because Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, the weather is usually hot and sunny during the holiday season. Many Australians enjoy spending time outdoors during the holidays, either at the beach or in the backyard, enjoying the warm weather and spending time with loved ones. Some popular Christmas traditions in Australia include backyard barbecues, watching cricket matches, and eating a traditional Christmas meal of seafood and ham.
