Channel Seven reveals major change to Carols in the Domain broadcast after complaints from viewers

As a lifestyle expert with a rich history of attending and enjoying live events, I am thrilled to hear that Channel Seven is broadcasting Carols in the Domain live this year. Having experienced the joy and magic of these events in the past, I can attest to their ability to bring people together and spread holiday cheer.


Delighted to share some exciting news as a devoted follower! I’ve just learned that Channel Seven is giving us a special Christmas gift by airing their Carols in the Domain live from Sydney on Saturday, December 21. Can’t wait to join in the festivities!

The decision comes after the network received flak from fans over the decision to air a pre-recorded version of the event in past years.

This Christmas season, you’ll find The Wiggles gracing the stage at Carols in the Domain once more! Joining them will be Samantha Jade, popular pop artist Budjerah, and multi-talented entertainer Rhonda Burchmore.

Enthusiasts can anticipate the debut of Kym Johnson, known for her performances on Dancing with the Stars, at this year’s holiday event.

Additionally, you’ll see Conrad Sewell, who won an ARIA Award, Mark Vincent, a winner on Australia’s Got Talent, and Hugh Sheridan, known for his role in Back to the Rafters.

On Saturday, it was mentioned by Yahoo Lifestyle that Natalie Barr and Matt ‘Shirvo’ Shirvington from Sunrise are the frontrunners to take on the hosting role, although no official host has been confirmed yet.

In 2023, the Brekkie Central duo, consisting of Barr and Shirvington, successfully led an event that attracted over 2 million viewers and was greatly enjoyed by the attendees as well.

Other features included in the live show will be ‘snowfall’ and a fireworks display.

Seven has been presenting the charity event since 1983.

2022 saw seven disillusioned viewers following an incident where a previously recorded episode of the show was withheld for a week before its broadcast on December 23, leading to their dissatisfaction.

Angry fans of the event posted to X to vent their frustrations at the network over the decision. 

“Is Channel 7 able to clarify why they’ve decided to postpone the Carols in the Domain broadcast until this coming Friday instead of tonight? I find it hard to understand their reasoning.

One person mentioned: ‘I was looking forward to a peaceful evening watching the Carols in the Domain on TV, but I found out they won’t be airing until the 23rd.’

Someone mentioned their curiosity about carols in The Domain this year, as they were aware it was happening tonight, yet there seems to be no broadcast on Channel 7.

The arrangement was brilliantly timed – airing it on television the very same day and later, the candlelit events on Christmas Eve. It left me feeling quite melancholic, but I yearn for that festive spirit! Fortunately, someone else feels the same way.

However, don’t worry… as per the official site, a ‘live telecast’ of tonight’s event is scheduled for television next weekend. But you should know that live broadcasts are typically shown in real time, folks.

possible way of paraphrasing the given statement:

I just learned that carols in this area won’t be live on air anymore. That’s really disappointing, Channel 7.

Another viewer pondered: ‘Probably because the swimming is on, though I don’t know anyone watching it’. 

One person lamented, “I fondly remember how they would air that special program on the Saturday prior to Christmas and another one on Christmas Eve – Carols by Candlelight. However, now they combine them into one event, which feels overwhelming to me.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but express my delight in the impeccable scheduling of airing it on television the very same night, and the enchanting candlelight versions on Christmas Eve. It’s left me feeling rather melancholic, yet I yearn to embrace the holiday spirit once more – if only for a moment! And fortunately, I’m not alone in this sentiment.

Fans can get tickets for the Carols in the Domain visa the event website here.

The prices vary from $395 for Diamond Class all the way down to $21.70. Yet, attendees have the opportunity to enjoy the event on the Festive Lawn without any charges.
