If you live in a country in the Southern Hemisphere, do your Christmas shows have summer backdrops?

It isn’t Southern hemisphere, but we went to Hawaii one Christmas. Had a wonderful time. Santa Claus and palm trees. They had a different tree for decorating than the firs and pines of colder climes. Hawaiian shirts and muumuus instead of cold weather clothes.
I think the snowy climate background came from northern Europe origins of Kris Kringle and Santa Claus. After all, the original Christmas was in a warm climate.

@Sunny2 Yeah, I lived in FL, and Christmas was palm trees and sunshine also.

Australian TV channels do not go crazy with Christmas content generally (sadly because I love it). When they do, unless it is locally made content, it would usually have iconic Northern Hemisphere imagery such as snow, Santa in a big red suit (not really appropriate for 40 degree Celsius heat and traditional Northern hemisphere Christmas tree shapes. I tried to find a real Australian Christmas tree, but most of the pictures I could find didn’t seem to represent native trees (I think this is a native fir tree).

There really aren’t many traditional Australian (or Southern hemisphere that I know of) Christmas symbols. We use kangaroos instead of reindeer sometimes. There is a kid’s song, Six White Boomers

I just did a search of the TV Guide for any Christmas content and basically, there are cooking shows, carols, old sit coms (Frasier, On the Buses????) and it would appear kids cartoons. Not a lot else that I can see. I would say all of these would have iconic Christmas symbols but it is likely to be snowflakes, frost, conical trees and very little relating to the Southern Hemisphere.

I will watch more closely and report back in a couple of weeks.

It’s a mix of the northern and the southern, and not nearly as good, proper Xmas feeling as in the Northern Hemisphere.
