🎅 The Best Christmas Markets to Visit in South East Victoria (2025 Edition)
If there’s one thing that makes Christmas shopping actually fun, it’s wandering through a festive market — mulled wine in hand, carols in the background, and stalls bursting with handmade treasures.
Whether you’re hunting for thoughtful gifts, stocking stuffers, or just love supporting local makers, here are some of the best Christmas markets to visit in South East Victoria in 2025 — and yes, you’ll find The Bubbly Type at a few of them too!
🎄 1. Little Beauty Market — Frankston
Held at Frankston’s picturesque Beauty Park, Little Beauty Market is packed with handmade goods, local eats, and seriously good vibes.
Expect plenty of unique, Australian made Christmas gifts — from jewellery and ceramics to colourful stationery (like ours!). You can find The Bubbly Type here most months on the fourth Saturday of the month from October through April.
✨ Perfect for finding our greeting cards, sun catchers and mini art prints in person!
🌈 2. Emu Plains Market — Balnarring
Surrounded by bushland and brimming with creativity, Emu Plains Market is a Mornington Peninsula favourite. With over 200 stalls under the stringy bark trees, it’s a dreamy place to shop local this Christmas.
The Bubbly Type will be there too — so if you’re after Australian made cards, gifts, or art prints that make people smile, pop by and say hi!
🏇 3. Mornington Racecourse Market — Mornington
If you like your Christmas shopping with a side of seaside charm, Mornington Racecourse Market is a must-visit.
It’s one of the biggest and most popular craft markets in the region, running every second Sunday of the month. You’ll find handmade goodies galore — and of course, The Bubbly Type’s full range of gifts, greeting cards and colourful designs.
🌻 4. McClelland Makers Market — Langwarrin
Art lovers, this one’s for you! McClelland Makers Market is held among the stunning sculpture gardens at McClelland Gallery in Langwarrin — and it’s every bit as inspiring as it sounds.
It’s a smaller market with big creative energy, featuring talented local artists and makers. The vibe? Relaxed, leafy and full of beautiful handmade finds. Keep an eye out for The Bubbly Type here, as we only attend certain months.
🪴 5. Hill & Ridge Community Market — Red Hill
A long-standing local favourite, the Hill & Ridge Community Market offers everything from handcrafted gifts to fresh produce and festive treats.
It’s the perfect place to start your Christmas shopping early — and with so many talented Aussie makers in one spot, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
🌲 6. The Lost Woods Market — Puffing Billy
Okay, technically this one’s a little north of Melbourne — but The Lost Woods Market is too good to leave off the list.
Set among a forest of pines, it’s a magical, nature-filled event where creativity runs wild. You’ll find handmade gifts, vintage treasures, delicious food trucks, and a friendly community vibe that makes the road trip totally worth it.
If you love art, colour and discovering something a little different, this market is a must-see before Christmas!
💖 Shop Small, Support Local
This Christmas, skip the big-box chaos and give gifts that tell a story. Every purchase from a local maker supports someone’s dream (and adds a lot more personality under your tree!).
If you can’t make it to the markets, you can still shop our Australian made greeting cards, sun catchers, postcards and more online at The Bubbly Type — we deliver right across Australia.
