Hands up if you find it hard to believe it’s already December.
The holiday season never creeps up slowly. One minute you’re munching on a November bone, the next you wake up realizing Christmas is three weeks away and you haven’t sorted gifts, outings, or what to do with the kids when school’s out!
Fear not! Here are 5 hassle-free gift ideas that prove an afternoon at The Farsons Brewery Experience can tick Christmas shopping off your list AND give you a brilliant family outing.
Two birds with one stone. Let’s go:
1. The Brewhouse Vouchers
Gift an experience! Picture this: You bring the kids to The Farsons Brewery Experience on a quiet weekday morning while they’re off school. You explore the history, soak in the self-guided audio tour, and genuinely have a brilliant time together. You enjoy it so much that you think, “Everyone needs to experience this!” So before you leave, you pop into the Farsons Brandstore and grab a few Brewhouse vouchers as gifts.
These €10 vouchers work for The Farsons Brewery Experience, but are also redeemable at The Chapels, Kettles, The Cisk Tap, and of course, the Brandstore! Plus, a €15 tour ticket includes a digital photo which you can upgrade to printed ones with festive backgrounds. It might just be the funniest family photo you take all year.
2. Cisk-Themed Christmas Merch
Christmas jumpers, but make it Cisk. We’ve given Malta’s favourite beer the full holiday treatment with jumpers, beanies, and socks. The classic red “HAPPY CISKMAS” sweater delivers feel-good pun energy (low hanging fruit, we know, but we’re not sorry!). Feeling bolder? The yellow “All I Want For Xmas Is Cisk” jumper is for you, or perhaps your opinionated Uncle whose cold beer never leaves his fingers and can pull off statement dressing on Christmas Day. The cheeky Cisk socks add a playful peek above your shoes, while the Cisk-themed pom-pom beanies are loud and unapologetically festive. These will sell out fast, so get them before they’re gone.
3. Kinnie-Inspired Candles
Nemnem has built a reputation for quality candles rooted in a passion for everything local, so a Kinnie-scented candle was inevitable – and it’s absolutely divine. This candle captures the iconic soft drink’s essence with notes of orange, caramel, and bitter herbs, layered with cinnamon, ginger, and clove for a warm, revitalizing aroma. Light one up on Christmas Day and watch your guests try to figure out what smells so incredible. Available in three festive shapes: Snowball, Christmas Jumper, and Nemnem’s classic Kubetti cube. It’s holiday cheer in candle form.
4. Christmas Tree Ornaments
Already decorated your tree? One more bauble won’t hurt anyone. The playful “MERRY CISKMAS” bauble adds exactly the kind of cheeky charm your tree didn’t know it was missing. Hang it front and centre, right under to the star. Prefer something more elegant? The copper Brewhouse-themed ornament doubles as a Christmas card for more traditional sophistication. No tree? Baubles and ornaments look brilliant hung over doorways, on door handles, from ceiling lights, or even on that potted plant in the corner that could use some festive love.
5. Kinnie Festive Tins
If you’re the type who goes all-in on seasonal decor, these Kinnie Festive Tins are your new obsession. Three gorgeous designs mix Maltese charm with subtle Christmas magic: Mdina under a moonlit sky with Rudolf soaring past, The Brewhouse glowing under the North Star, and a vintage Maltese bus beneath a shooting star. Display one alone as a statement piece, or line up all three as a collection. They’re roomy enough for tea, coffee, biscuits, stationery, or whatever loose bits and bobs you have lying around that need containing. Functional, festive, and super giftable.
The Perfect Holiday Stop
Why juggle multiple errands when you can do it all in one afternoon?
Visiting The Farsons Brewery Experience is the ultimate holiday hack. Bring the family to the ‘Home of Cisk’, enjoy a memorable outing together, and tick off your entire Christmas shopping list at the Brandstore before you leave.
Guaranteed, you’ll head home feeling like you’ve nailed the holiday season.
