WelcomeReady or not, the Christmas countdown has begun! An occasion to share love, gifts and quality time with family and friends, everyone
knows it isn’t all holiday cheer! Preparations can be busy and stressful, but do not fear; this year, we are here to help! From gift ideas
to decoration inspiration, here at Belrose Super Centre, we’ve got Christmas covered.
There’s always that one in-law who’s painfully tricky to buy for, the one who ‘already has everything’, the child who wants the latest
and greatest toy; this year there won’t be any awkward tensions when it comes to present opening time! With gift ideas wrapped up
into one convenient guide, there’s something in here for everyone from our diverse range of stores.
Your turn to host this year? Keep the silly season simple and impress your guests with our easy-peasy delicious recipes for a festive
banquet. Flick to page 30 for treats to tickle your fancy!
If you’re bored of the traditional decorations that reappear decade after decade, make your yule cool with this year’s prevailing
interior trend: metallics! Warm bronzes and shiny coppers have solidly established themselves as the season’s most sought after
style, and showing no signs of slowing down, it looks like they’re here to stay. Use them subtly or embrace the razzle dazzle this
Christmas with our inspiration on page 28.
Throughout December there will be free entertainment for the little ones at the centre, allowing you to get on with your Christmas
shopping. To encourage the festive spirit and engage the children in creative learning, we’ve organised a variety of craft activities
and interactive play. We haven’t forgotten about you though – it’s important to indulge in a little you time, especially during such an
exhausting period, so head to our complimentary wine tasting experiences where you can sample the country’s wine and cheese
products. With ample free parking, Belrose Super Centre is the one-stop-shop destination for everything you need this Christmas.
SIT BACK, RELAX, AND READ ON!

A delightful, simple sweet to serve or give as
a gift at Christmas. A clever twist on rum balls!
INGREDIENTS
• 2 x 250 g chocolate ripple biscuits
• 395 g condensed milk
• 2 x 55 g Cherry Ripe chocolate bar roughly
chopped
• 2 x 55 g Peppermint Crisp chocolate roughly
chopped
• 1/4 cup coconut

cloves in each diamond, or however it works with
the pattern you’ve made. Cook in a large baking
