DunedIn Christmas Carols

The Dunedin Christmas Carol 2025, held at the Dunedin Botanical Garden on 20 December 2025 brought together families, communities, and people from all backgrounds in a beautiful spirit of hope, unity, and celebration. Set under the open sky of Dunedin, Kiwis , Māori, Cook Islanders, Indians, German, and Sri Lankans gathered as one, lifting their voices and hearts together. In moments when life feels heavy and the journey seems hard, this event reminded us that we are never alone. More than just a song, You Raise Me Up became a prayer of faith, a message of encouragement, and a declaration of strength, proclaiming that God lifts us when we cannot stand on our own. It was a powerful reminder that faith, music, and love have the power to unite a city and uplift hearts, whether you were present at the event or watching from around the world.
