Plus, in a historic first for the event, Woolworths Carols in the Domain conducted a nationwide poll to unveil Australia's most-loved Christmas carols, with the top 20 set to be officially revealed throughout the show.
“Carols in the Domain is special,” said Natalie Barr. “It’s that one night in the year where we sit around with our families and friends and eat, drink, laugh and sing.
“It means Christmas is close, we’ve made it through another year, and we can sit back and be thankful we live in a beautiful, peaceful country.
“It’s pure joy and that’s why Australians have loved it for so many years. I can’t wait!"
Matt Shirvington added: “Carols in the Domain has been an Aussie Christmas tradition for decades.
”I’ve watched it with my family since I was a boy, so to now be on stage hosting for the first time is quite surreal!
“It’s been a big year, and I can’t wait to help spread some Christmas cheer right across the country.”
