If you are after a jolly train experience - the Santa Train onboard Mornington Tourist Railway, creates an incredibly festive and special memory for little (and not-so-little) kids!
Mamma’s crew jumped on a Santa special last year, and it’s just so magical! Santa and his elf helper board the train ringing his jolly bell; and he makes his way into each carriage - even taking a seat, having a chat and handing out a bag of lollies!
This is a day out that the kids will remember, forever!
The journey from Moorooduc station to Mornington is about 20 minutes - or 40 minutes return. The perfect amount of time to keep the little ones happy.
When you disembark from the train at the halfway mark, you can watch the captain (in full uniform) hop off and direct the carriage back into position, ready for the journey home - as well as take the chance to grab a selfie with Santa1
There are a few other days a year where the train offers themed days - like Easter Bunny, Superheroes, Teddy Bear Picnic etc.

the christmas tree farm, moorooduc
It’s time to go an adventure and immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit - and there is NO better place to do just that, than at The Christmas Tree Farm!
It’s the most WONDERFUL time of the year!
Time to go an adventure and immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit - and there is NO better place to do just that, than at The Christmas Tree Farm!
The season is now open, so you can head down to this stunning farm, peruse the rows of magnificent trees whilst inhaling that fresh pine scented air. You are sure to find THE perfect tree. Mamma’s crew opted for a smaller tree that had lots of character, as opposed to one of the many perfectly formed splendid trees.
This farm is so much more than just a tree collection point! There’s a gorgeous barn absolutely filled to the brim with Christmas decorations of all shapes and colours, you can also pick up some stocking stuffers like Beanie Boos and other soft teddies.
On the weekends there are tractor rides, BBQ and milkshake huts, and even the big guy himself will make a visit! You can also pose with the giant Santa and Elves statues and purchase ready-cut trees as well.
It really is a great spot to create some life-long magic Christmas memories.

the selfie trail @ garden babies
Mamma has the BEST Christmas photos idea for you!
Mamma has the BEST Christmas photos idea for you!
The glorious Kelly - from Garden Babies Photography - has set up a walk through selfie trail in her studio, where YOU are the photographer!
The studio is split into 2 halves, and you get to spend 10 minutes per side in private. Each side has different sets, such as a reindeer, Christmas tree farm, fireplace, peeking out of the curtain at Santa and lots more.
You can have up to 5 people in the studio (one adult 4 kids - 2 adults 3 kids etc). Sets are recommended for kids up to 10 - 12 years old (but no restrictions). Each scene has been set up with your phone camera in mind, the light in perfect positioning to create magic - no fancy camera needed! You can then use your filters on your phone - or photoshop them yourself if you wish!
Kelly will be on hand to offer suggestions and tips, and also to take some family snaps if required!
You can take as many photos as you like within your 30 minute session.
The best idea for Christmas presents, cards and to create precious memories at a very affordable price.
the nitty gritty
$55 for up to 5 people per session.
