On the 25th of December, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, making it summer there, while the northern hemisphere is in winter due to it being tilted away from the Sun. So countries in the southern hemisphere are in summer on Christmas Day.

What are some unique things about Australia's Christmas?

Australia's Christmas is unique because December 25 falls right in the middle of Summer. As Australia is already a hot continent, it means Christmases may be either celebrated outdoors around the backyard pool, with a barbeque, or at the beach, or inside with the air-conditioning on full. Some regions enjoy a more temperate climate, but extremes of weather on Christmas Day can mean one is in the middle of a heatwave, or enduring a summer storm or monsoonal rains. Christmas lights displays and nativity displays often feature the concept of Christ as a baby in the Australian Bush, surrounded by kangaroos, koalas and other native fauna. Rather than snow-covered scenes, Christmas cards may illustrate a "Surfin' Santa", or white boomers (large kangaroos) pulling the sled.
