Ever wondered how "Christmas in July" became a thing? The concept of "Christmas in July" traces its origins back to a camp in Brevard, North Carolina, in 1933. This camp, known as Keystone Camp, introduced the festive celebration as a way to give the campers a taste of Christmas magic during the sweltering summer months. Complete with carolers, Santa Claus, and makeshift snow, the event was such a hit that it inspired similar celebrations in other parts of the country.
The notion quickly spread and the idea even caught on in Australia, where the weather during December is warm, making the traditional winter-themed Christmas somewhat out of place. Australians adopted the concept of "Christmas in July" to experience a wintery Christmas atmosphere, complete with hearty meals and cozy decorations.
Over time, "Christmas in July" has evolved into a fun, festive occasion celebrated worldwide, providing a mid-year cheer and a perfect opportunity to plan ahead for the December festivities.
