The Christmas countdown has begun with the birth of baby donkey Coco at the Granite Belt Christmas Farm.
The new addition to Santa’s menagerie is timely as this season’s Christmas trends have just been released.
Owner Katrina Fraser said gnomes were in this year and gingerbread candy was on trend.
“The Grinch is becoming a lot of fun for families this season as well,” Ms Fraser said.
Pallets have been arriving daily, brimming with glitter, colour and extravagance for a very special Christmas.
Less than 80 days until the big man in the red suit tries to fit down your chimney, so the race to be prepared is now on.
Ms Fraser said the Mistletoe Store stocks very traditional Christmas products, a trait that is also ingrained in their family.
“Creating traditions runs deep in our family and we are humbled to share the Christmas magic year after year.”
The farm will be opening a second Christmas shop in November as they unpack daily new Christmas items.
