NOVEMBER 19: Sydney’s New Christmas Cocktail Party Comes With Food, Drinks, Live Music and a Very Good Cause

Looking for a Christmas celebration that feels a little less like another sit-down function?

Ronald McDonald House Sydney is launching its first-ever Jingle n Mingle this November, a festive cocktail party at Doltone House Hyde Park with premium food, wine, beer, live music, prizes and plenty happening throughout the afternoon.

It’s designed for friends, workmates and corporate groups looking for a different kind of end-of-year celebration and every ticket also helps families with seriously ill or injured children stay close to hospital treatment over Christmas.

Jingle n Mingle 2026
WHEN

Thursday 19 November 2026 · 12pm–3.30pm

Doltone House, Hyde Park

$190 per person

(Each ticket provides the cost of one night’s accommodation for a family staying close to their seriously ill or injured child’s hospital treatment.)

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Premium food, wine, beer, live music by Brown Sugar, festive activations and prizes

Not your standard Christmas function

Instead of being seated at one table for the afternoon, Jingle n Mingle is set up as a cocktail-style celebration where guests can move around, mingle and make the most of everything on offer.

Expect premium food, wine and beer, festive activations, prizes and live entertainment from Brown Sugar.

THE LOCAL BIRD TAKE
This feels like a good one for a team Christmas outing, a group of friends or anyone wanting the festive atmosphere without another formal three-course lunch.

Your ticket does more than buy lunch

Every ticket helps Ronald McDonald House Sydney support families with seriously ill or injured children while they are receiving hospital treatment.

SINCE 1991
More than 30,000 families have been supported by Ronald McDonald House Randwick.

The House has helped save families more than $7.4 million in accommodation costs.

A home away from home

Located in the Randwick Health Precinct, Ronald McDonald House Randwick operates 365 days a year and gives families a home away from home while their children receive treatment at Sydney Children’s Hospital.

The 31-room House includes four isolation units and supports families travelling from regional and rural NSW, the ACT, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the Pacific Islands.

Keeping families close to treatment also helps ease pressure on the health system by giving parents somewhere nearby to stay while their child is in hospital.

Make your Christmas function count

Food, drinks, live music and a festive afternoon with every ticket helping families stay close when it matters most.
