How to Build The Perfect Aussie Christmas Tropical Fruit Platter

Step 1: Choose your fruit (shop local, shop seasonal, shop at Tropical Fruit World)

From what’s in season at Christmas, pick 5–7 fruits:

  • Mangoes (various varieties)
  • Dragon fruit (all colours)
  • Lychees
  • Figs
  • Kiwi fruit
  • Wax jambu / water cherry
  • White sapote or mamey sapote
  • Soursop (best served pre-prepared)
  • Tropical Fruit World Dried Fruits

Step 2: Assemble by colour

  • Start with mango and dragon fruit as your base
  • Add creamy fruits (white or mamey sapote)
  • Fill gaps with lychees and kiwi
  • Finish with figs and wax jambu for texture and shine
  • Garnish with dried citrus, dried star fruit or dried jakfruit

Chill briefly before serving.


Step 3: Serve & enjoy

Perfect alongside seafood, Christmas lunch, or as a light dessert. See below for products from our farm that would complement your platter perfectly. Add small tongs or toothpicks and let guests graze.


Why choose local?

Using in-season tropical fruit from Tropical Fruit World means better flavour, less food miles, and supporting Australian farmers. It’s Christmas the way summer intended - fresh, colourful and proudly local.
