Annual special highlights the essential work The Salvation Army does at Christmas.

Christmas with the Salvos returns to Channel 7 for its sixth year, a 30-minute television special highlighting the Christmas spirit and the work of the Salvation Army.

Hosted by Katie Brown, this year, Gary Mehigan visits The Well in St Kilda to cook an affordable Christmas lunch for staff and community members, showcasing how families can create a meaningful Christmas meal on a budget.

We also join Jason Roberts at a Salvos aged care and retirement living centre on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, where he teaches residents a simple Christmas dessert and chats with them about what Christmas means in their community.

Alongside its entertainment, the special highlights the essential work The Salvation Army does at Christmas, from providing gifts and toys for children, to hampers, festive meals, and spaces for people to find connection and hope.
