    Im wondering if there is anything going on in Christchurch around Xmas time.
    Sportings occasions etc?
    Are there any hotels, restaurants offering Christmas Day dinner. We only arrived a few days ago and we dont really have an oven to cook a turkey.

    Also anything going on in New Years?

    Thanks

    NZ play the West Indies in a cricket day/night ODI on Jan 3 in ChCh... that's where I know I'd be :)

    Most Kiwis get Christmas over & done with pretty quickly and just get on with the summer. I'd recommend ditching the turkey and have lamb or chicken instead, putting your feet up and watch the Boxing day Test or hit the beach... no shortage of those around ChCh ;)

    Also, some good one day trips would be Akaroa (charming French settlement) and Hanmer Springs.

    Queenstown is more of a trip but would be good for New Years.

    Christchurch CC usually put on an event for New Years in the Square.
