Even though Perth is indeed a cultural melting pot, come Christmas Day, we reckon everybody’s days are pretty much identical.

Unless your family hails from Scandinavia and celebrates everything on Christmas Eve; or a Mediterranean family where they start prepping the roast lamb weeks in advance—if you live in Perth, we bet your Chrissie Day goes a little something like this:

Opening hours: Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, excluding Good Friday, ANZAC Day and Christmas Day. Crown Perth, the little sister to Crown Melbourne, is the only land-based casino in Western Australia. It is located in the state’s capital city on the banks of Swan River in Burswood. Perth’s best spot for a degustation, Wildflower is hosting their first ever Christmas Day lunch and you can bet the menu will blow your mum’s roast out the water. Taking place on the beautiful rooftop of the Como Treasury building, festive feathers can enjoy a four-course tasting menu curated by Head Chef Matthew Sartori for $225 per person.

Casino Perth Christmas Day

Little Willy’s

Northbridge

The worst thing about Christmas Day is waking up and remembering you don’t own a coffee machine; that instant coffee tastes like toilet; and that every cafe is closed. Fret not! Little Willy’s, the adorable cafe along William Street in Northbridge, is open on Christmas Day, ensuring you get your caffeine fix.

Public House

Perth

The team at Public House have a corker of a Christmas Day Feast menu. Ceviche, honey smoked lamb, aji panka chicken, steak, chocolate brownie, bread and butter pudding, unlimited wine and beer—oh and a SANGRIA STATION. Hell yes. Merry Christmas to all.

Casino

Elmar’s In The Valley

Henley Brook

If you’re not opposed to a Christmas Day drive, let the team at Elmar’s in the Valley take care of the feast for you. They’re offering a gourmet Christmas lunch buffet, which includes a carvery station with their famous Christmas ham. Glazed with sweet spiced mustard and served with a shiraz jus, all your Christmases really will come at once. There are other things too, obviously, but we really think you should just go hard on the ham.

The Old Brewery

Crawley

You can choose to have Christmas breakfast, lunch or dinner at The Old Brewery—or even all three? With prawns, oysters, duck, chicken, soft shell crab, steak, lamb, snapper and turkey all available for you to choose from, you’ll probably never opt to host Christmas at your own house ever again.

Post

Perth

If you want one heck of a Christmas lunch, head to the State Buildings and let the team at Post treat you. With entrees like burrata with summer peaches and cured ocean trout with Shark Bay prawns and mains ranging from confit pork shoulder to turkey leg ballotine, this is Christmas done right. They'll also be open for breakfast and dinner, just in case you want to spend all day here!

The Aviary

Perth

If your fam aren’t here for you to raise a glass of eggnog with, The Aviary are hosting a Christmas Day rooftop bash for all the Christmas orphans in Perth. Feast on turkey rolls, boozy Christmas puddings and iced mulled wine. Add to that sunshine, festive tunes and games, and you’ve got yourself the perfect Christmas.

The Terrace Hotel

Perth

The Terrace Hotel have got an impressive Chrissie lunch menu, which includes seared scallops, pork belly, lamb cutlets, crispy skin barramundi and prime beef fillet. Just make sure you save room for dessert because they have full-blown traditional Christmas pudding—served with caramelised almonds, summer raspberries and brandy.

The Queens

Highgate

The good people at The Queens know that Christmas is stressful enough, without the hassle of entertaining. Which is why they are giving you the best Christmas present of all—no cooking or cleaning. All you need to bring is your Christmas cheer, and in return, the team will provide you with a three course lunch and all the merry beverages your heart desires.

Frasers

Kings Park

Casino Perth Christmas Day Decorations

If you want a taste of some festive fanciness this year, head to Frasers for Chrissie Day. Breakfast, lunch or dinner are all on offer—but we recommend making the most of the summer sunshine and doing the alfresco lunch. Feast on incredible entrees, mains and desserts, sip on beer and wine and take in the gorgeous surrounds of Kings Park. What a tranquil Christmas, indeed.

Ivy & Jack

Perth

The crew at Ivy & Jack know how much of a pain your fam can be with all their ridic dietary requirements, so they're putting on a Christmas buffet like no other. Think roast turkey with cranberry compote, champagne ham, so many salads and steamed plum pudding with brandy anglaise. Hello Christmas!

Temperatures in Perth are set to nudge 40 degrees Celsius in the lead up to Christmas but an eleventh-hour reprieve will see it cool down to a more pleasant 31C on Christmas Day.

A trough will drag hot air down the west coast during the week before moving inland on Christmas Eve, allowing sea breezes to bring a mild reprieve on Friday.

Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) Senior Forecaster Steph Bond said: 'On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we'll have hot east to north-easterly winds but by Friday we'll start the day off in more of an onshore flow.'

'Then it will get to a nice top of 31 degrees.'

However areas inland from the West Coast won't be as lucky, soaring above 40C in the lead up to and on Christmas Day.

'Dangerous' flooding for the north

Meanwhile the north of the state is preparing for a deluge over the weekend with a tropical low set to bring up to half a metre of rain and gusty storms to northern parts of the Kimberley.

The low currently lies within the monsoon trough near Darwin and is expected to move towards the Kimberley during the weekend.

The BOM has warned that up to 500 millimeters of rain is possible in some areas, a once in a five to 10 year event, which is likely to trigger 'widespread and dangerous' flooding.

'(The region) is already quite saturated … so it won't take much for rivers to rise quite quickly,' said Ms Bond.

While the low will bring heavy rainfall and strong winds, especially on Sunday and Monday, it is unlikely to have enough time over water to intensify into a cyclone before moving inland.

'The chance of it moving offshore later in the week is also fairly low,' Ms Bond said.

'While it's over land it does weaken and at this stage it has a very low chance of moving offshore again next week.'
