I’m Holly, I’m a 24 year old teacher from New Zealand. I love Diet Coke, cats and my blog, Adventures of Holly.
This is what Santa SHOULD be wearing!
It’s not unusual for your average kiwi to spend Christmas Day BBQing on the nearest beach, or eating outside in the sun, although roast dinners are pretty standard too. My family has done both, depending on who else we happen to be with that year, and what we decide we prefer.
Speaking of Christmas food, something present at pretty much every Christmas dinner here in NZ is the pavlova. For those of you who have never eaten this before (and who have been sadly missing out!), pavlova is pretty much a huge, cake-sized meringue, covered with cream and whatever fresh fruit you like. It’s pretty awesome.

No lie- there have been so many times I have wanted to write on my bucket list “experience a hot summer” but I love my cold and grey Christmas haha! I love pavlova but I only tend to see it sold in the summer over here. Our tradition is xmas pud (ick!) Or cheesecake/torte (yum!) x
I meant hot Christmas! But I won’t beat around the bush either it be nice to have a hot summer in the UK too!
happy christmas Holly!!!
I think my family have had pavlova at Christmas before – usually with lots of berries. I love the idea of a summery Christmas! I think the only downside would be waiting for it to get dark enough to have the christmas tree lights on.
Thank you for sharing Holly!
