A Bayside Tradition: Why Matilda Gelato Belongs in Your Holiday Season

The holidays in Brisbane have their own kind of magic. Long summer afternoons, warm breezes off the water, family gatherings, and that easygoing festive energy that fills the Bayside. And for many Wynnum locals, the season would not feel complete without a stop at Matilda The Art of Gelato.
Just a short stroll from the waterfront at 60 Florence St, Matilda has become a cheerful holiday tradition for families looking to add a little sweetness to their celebrations.

A Summer Holiday Calls for Gelato
While many parts of the world associate this time of year with snow and hot cocoa, Brisbane knows better. Our holidays are filled with sunshine, outdoor lunches, and evenings by the water. Gelato fits naturally into this style of celebration.
Matilda’s flavours shine this time of year. Fruit sorbets feel bright and refreshing after a warm afternoon. Rich classics like chocolate or hazelnut pair beautifully with holiday desserts. Pistachio and cherry ripple become favourites for guests who want something festive without being overly sweet.
Whether it's a post barbecue treat or the final touch to a family walk along the Esplanade, gelato brings everyone together.

Holiday Flavours, Made the Italian Way
Matilda keeps its commitment to small batch, artisanal gelato even during the busy season. That means every scoop is fresh, vibrant, and made with premium ingredients.
Real mango tastes like mango. Berries feel ripe and juicy. Holiday-inspired flavours arrive throughout December, with limited batches that reflect the season. Locals know to stop by often because these flavours tend to disappear quickly.

A Gathering Place During the Festive Rush
The holidays can be busy, but stepping into Matilda slows the pace. The bright, colourful space offers a moment to pause, laugh, and enjoy something simple and delicious.
Families drop in after finishing their shopping. Friends meet up before heading to the foreshore. Kids point excitedly at the new flavours in the cabinet. It feels warm and familiar, the way the holidays should.

Make It Part of Your Holiday Traditions
This year, add Matilda The Art of Gelato to your holiday rituals. Whether you are a Wynnum local or visiting from Brisbane, a scoop shared with loved ones becomes one of the season’s small but meaningful joys.

After all, the best traditions are the ones that make you smile.
