No family? No problems, welcome home.
Join us at the Jackzon Effect for a Christmaz Day experience filled with Joy, laughter, and the true spirit of chosen family.
Born from my years away from home, Whorphans Xmas is a full-production potluck celebration ,and experience like no other, festive atmosphere, with that Jackzon touch. Bring a dish to share, an op shop Secret Santa gift (under $10), and your most fabulous self (dressed in festive fun!) for an afternoon of entertainment, games, and connection. A Christmas of different flavors.
This isn’t just for locals, it’s for everyone From international students to anyone away from home or without family nearby, Whorphans Xmas offers a place to belong, laugh, and feel like you’ve found your family away from home. Complete with all surrogate mum and dad ( my parents)
Expect cheeky all the camp of a Jackzon Christmas because I don’t do ordinary here. Whether you’re flying solo, between plans, or just after something with a bit more soul, this is the place to be.
