You can’t deny it any longer, Christmas season has truly hit us, which means that Christmas event planning is well under way. While that may send you into a mild panic, we’ve rounded up twelve ways to get into the festivities, Fox style.

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me..all you can eat oysters.

What kind of true love wouldn’t gift you with the most romantic food known to man – that would just be shellfish? And what says summer, and Christmas, better than slurping down some freshly-shucked oysters. Mmm, romantic.

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a Long Bar lunch.

 Pause the panic. Still haven’t sorted your Christmas lunch in Brisbane? Have a long lunch at Long Bar. With a menu packed with out-of-the-box flavours and daily specials, a date with The Long Bar is a Christmas event in Brisbane to carol about.

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…cocktails at Dandy’s

 The top of our Christmas wish list? A never ending supply of Dandy’s cocktails, please. Get festive with a drink in hand and celebrate summer with your nearest and dearest (and THAT view) whilst ignoring all that Christmas shopping you’re still yet to do.

One the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a post-shopping beer.

You’ve done it – bit the bullet and braved the shops. Well done, you deserve a beer. With a bunch of brews on tap, and even more bottled, there’s a beverage for everyone. Screaming children, daggy carols and never-ending lines will be a thing of distant memory.

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a dinner at Fish Lane Bistro.

By escaping the Christmas crazy and taking a stroll down Fish Lane, you’ll be rewarded with a menu of classic bistro faire with a modern twist. Grab your pals, work colleagues, or that long lost friend you keep promising you’ll catch up with, and have a Christmas event in Brisbane that’s in equal parts festive and delicious.

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a sneaky burger that definitely doesn’t fit in with that summer body diet plan.

…and here we thought that burgers where our true love? We definitely do have buns, hun, and they’re mighty delicious and here to cure any Grinch-like Christmas rage that’s building up inside you. Summer body, see you NEXT year.

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a night of dancing at Dandy’s.

Christmas is stressful, which means that more than one trip to Dandy’s is essential. Dance away your Christmas blues, and that dwindling bank account, at Brisbane’s best adult playground. Might help work off that extra calories consumed too…

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a perfect function venue.

We don’t want to toot our own horn, but we’re calling it – The Fox is Brisbane’s best Christmas party venue. You’ll be spoilt for choice with a selection of function rooms longer than your Christmas list. ’Tis the season to eat, drink and be merry – and hopefully avoid any awkward office interactions in the new year.

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…the 4101 discount.

Ok, so maybe we’re your true love after all. Sign up to The Fox database and embrace the Fish Lane Bistro discounts and extra special deals every month, including December. Yeah, we know we’re going on Santa’s nice list this year.

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…tickets to our NYE bash.

Yes, Christmas isn’t over but we’re already thinking of New Years Eve. Join us for a night of Japanese-inspired fun, and with two packages on offer, you know you’ll be in for a sumo-sized fun night. All you need to do is get through Christmas morning with the family…

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…every summer cocktail on the menu.

If all this Christmas planning has gotten you hot under the collar, our summer cocktails are the perfect way to beat the heat. Get your daily fruit serving with a Strawberry Fields Forever, Mango Weiss-Bar, Watermelon and Mint Mojito or Aperol Spritz. We’re having ourselves a very nice little Christmas, thanks.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a dining voucher.

The gift that truly keeps on giving? A dining voucher. Thanks lover. We also give you permission to steal this idea for any of those ‘hard to buy’ pals on your list. They’ll be no re-gifting of these bad boys.

Ok Christmas, you can go on longer than twelve days.
