A Celebration of Design, Creativity, and Christmas Magic

November 8, 2025

If you love design, creativity, and discovering what’s next — this is where you’ll want to be.

The General Collective Lifestyle & Design Market – Christmas Edition returns to Auckland Showgrounds on Sunday 16 November 2025, bringing together over 220 of New Zealand’s most talented designers, artists, and contemporary brands for one unmissable day of festive shopping and inspiration.

From the deep south to the far north, makers are on the move — flying in from Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Wellington with luggage laden with their latest collections, and travelling with cars filled to the brim with festive treasures from Cambridge, Mangawhai, Kerikeri, Kaitaia, New Plymouth, Tauranga, and beyond.

They’re bringing with them a world of creativity, design excellence, and inspired ideas — products conceived, created, and curated across Aotearoa, now gathering in one place for a day of discovery and connection.

Step into a space bursting with festive creativity — where every corner is filled with beautifully crafted homewares, contemporary fashion, fine jewellery, art, skincare, and unique creations for little ones. Each stall tells a story of passion, imagination, and craftsmanship — the very essence of New Zealand creativity and artistry.

This year’s Christmas Edition captures the spirit of the season — a joyful, bustling celebration where creativity meets community. Wander the aisles, discover exclusive pieces, meet the makers, and find thoughtful gifts that mean more. Whether you’re shopping for loved ones or indulging yourself, it’s the perfect way to start the festive season.
