Ditch the stress on Christmas Day and impress your fam with a festive feast at Sea World Resort
As much as we love cooking a grand feast for our loved ones during the festive season, sometimes it’s just a bit too much effort. Between braving the supermarkets at their peak, prepping the menus, spending hours in the kitchen and then (perhaps worst of all) dealing with the dishes, a festive meal is no mean feat. If you’re keen to gather with loved ones for a Christmas or New Year celebration but would prefer to ditch the hassle of cooking and cleaning, look no further than Sea World Resort. Offering everything from Christmas lunch to a New Year’s Eve pool party, the stellar restaurants at Sea World are here to take away the stress and impress you with some fresh local produce and cuisine.
Once the presents are opened on Christmas morning, gather your crew and head to Shoreline Restaurant for the buffet to end all buffets. Your taste buds will delight in a bountiful selection of festive favourites and fresh seafood, all accompanied by a three-hour premium drinks package. Tickets to the Shoreline Christmas Lunch are $199 for adults, $99 for teens (14-17) and $49 for children (4-13), and allow you to fill your plate with the likes of tiger prawns, oysters, Moreton Bay bug tails, green lip mussels, Tasmanian salmon, a selection of fresh salads, traditional Christmas roast turkey and ham with all the trimmings, chargrilled ribeye steaks, slow-cooked lamb, roast vegetables and much more. The little ones can feast on a kid-friendly menu before the whole family drools over the main event – dessert. We’re talking pudding, gingerbread, soft serve, mousse, a yule log and plenty of fresh fruit – a true Christmas miracle. Throughout the meal, you will be entertained by a live pianist, a visit from Santa, face painting and more!
If you’re seeking a buffet feast but can’t make lunch, you’ll be happy to hear that Shoreline is also hosting festive dinners from Christmas day through until January 4. Starting at 5:30 pm, diners can enjoy an array of tasty dishes from land and sea that have been wok-fried, chargrilled, roasted, carved and tossed to delight your senses – all accompanied by premium drinks. This dinner buffet is $129 for adults on December 25 and 31 and $99 for all other sittings between December 26 and January 4. Beyond the buffet, Boatshed Bar & Grill is also serving up a Christmas feast at 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Take the family to enjoy sprawling Broadwater views as you share in a summer seafood and barbecue platter piled high with prawns, salmon, rib eye steak, barramundi, peri peri chicken thighs, baked vegetables, fresh salads and plenty of festive delights for dessert. Tickets are $99 for adults, $39 for teens and $29 for children, and include a two-hour drinks package for those over 18.
As you pack up the Christmas tree and look to the new year, prepare to celebrate the end of 2022 with Sea World Resort’s New Year’s Eve Family Pool Party. End the year with a splash as you dive into a night of family-friendly entertainment, live music and a sparkling fireworks display at midnight.

The event kicks off at 5:00 pm and is sure to sell out, so book and secure your spot today to avoid disappointment.
