The Unseasoned Guide to South Aussie Christmas Cards: 11 cards to send a bit of local cheer!

Christmas in South Australia is in a league of its own—sunny days, the Christmas Pageant, and those classic drives to see the Lobethal Lights. This year, Unseasoned Greetings is here to help you share the love with our new South Aussie Christmas card collection. From laughs to memories, these cards are set to make any holiday feel just a bit more Adelaide.

Here’s a peek at our festive lineup, each card crafted to sprinkle some local magic into your Christmas.

 

1. I Hope Your Christmas is the Mall’s Balls
An Adelaide icon—Rundle Mall’s famous balls. Send your loved ones a wish for a Christmas that’s truly “the mall’s balls”! Shoutout to the City of Adelaide for keeping those shiny beauties festive.

2. Murray Christmas
Best pun yet? We think so! Perfect for anyone dreaming of a laid-back Christmas, riverside by the Murray with a cold one in hand.

For those who can’t escape that one holiday song, this card sends a seasonal message straight from Rundle Mall’s pigeons—a true Adelaidean touch (and a little sympathy for the retail workers among us).
