CANDY COATED CHRISTMAS
Uptown Brisbane is sprinkling joy and sweet tidings for a magical, candy-coated Christmas in the City this November and December, bringing nostalgic treats and neon dreams to life in Queen Street Mall and Brisbane City for the holiday season.
Queensland-born artist and designer Kirsten Devitt will reimagine Uptown for the holiday season, creating Festive Windows that evoke the celestial magic of Brisbane’s subtropical fairy floss sunsets, frosted in fun and candy-coated celebration. Unveiled on 6 November 2025 and on show until 4 January 2026, visitors can marvel at four original display windows, featuring Devitt’s signature bold, playful design and whimsical wit that make the everyday extraordinary.
The sweet appeal extends to the charming Candy Coated Christmas Mart and Tote Bag Customisation Kiosk pop-ups within Uptown. Jingle all the way through a candy-themed, five-hole mini-golf game and snap a sweet memory at the photobooth at the Candy Coated Christmas Market daily from 20 November – 24 December. Spend $20 in Uptown between 1–24 December to treat yourself to a customisable calico tote bag with three candy-themed patches to style for a sweet take-home gift.
Look out for another sweet surprise with a hidden Gingerbread House door in the retail centre, part of the Brisbane City Tiny Doors map of festively decorated portals to discover around the CBD.
Wrap up your seasonal shopping at the Charity Gift-Wrapping Station, available from 11–24 December on Level Q in front of Prouds the Jewellers. Uptown’s volunteer elves will expertly wrap presents with your generous donation supporting two special charities: HeartKids and the Somerville House Foundation Regional & Rural Scholarship.
Uptown offers easy access to festive shopping and activities with $10 online weekend parking and $10 parking after 4pm on weekdays.
Spreading Christmas cheer across six levels of shopping and the CBD’s largest food court, there’s something for everyone at Brisbane’s festive destination in the City to park, eat, shop and play this holly-jolly holiday season.
