Celebrate Christmas in Ballarat with Mrs Claus and her mischievous elves.

There's trouble at Mrs Claus Headquarters. Santa's Naughty or Nice List has gone missing and was last seen flying around Ballarat. Now Mrs Claus and her elves need your help to find all the missing names before Christmas arrives.

Follow the trail through the Ballarat CBD and find the names scattered along the trail, answer the questions and help Mrs Claus recover the missing Naughty or Nice List.

Follow the Art Trail, complete the trail questions with your name and contact details, and return your entry to the Ballarat Visitor Information Centre for your chance to win.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.

©️ 2026 Visit Ballarat. This initiative is funded by the City of Ballarat and Tourism Midwest Victoria.
