Witness The Magic
Press play to witness the magic and wonder of Trees of Joy in both Sydney and Melbourne in 2025.
Thanks to our generous Tree Sponsors, 35 Wish children received their one-of-a-kind Christmas tree and were able to experience how special Trees of Joy is, along with the incredible teams who created their trees for them.
About Trees Of Joy
Trees of Joy began with our friends at Make-A-Wish Canada, who first launched the event in 2016. Here in Australia, we hosted our inaugural Trees of Joy in 2024.
In 2025, 35 Wish families attended events in Sydney and Melbourne. From Pokémon to pink bows and sparkles, every tree was as unique as the child who imagined it.
Each corporate team of up to 10 receives a brief ahead of the event with details about the Wish child they’re paired with. Teams then volunteer their time in the lead-up to gather imaginative items to create the perfect Christmas tree, decorated and revealed to all the Wish children at the event.
Trees of Joy was beyond expectations! It was truly magical. We were so surprised at the effort and love that went into Chiara's tree. We were so emotional with everything. We are truly grateful to Make-A-Wish and the team at Robert Half for their sponsorship and time in decorating the tree.

The whole day was a magical experience, and we are forever grateful to all the kind and generous people who made it so special for our baby girl.

The team managed to capture Isaac's tree so well! Not only was the tree amazing, but the team from Tonies made a huge effort in dressing up as Marvel characters as well, which made it that extra special.

Your Impact
With your support we can help bring hope and joy to wish kids across Australia.
When Quinn wished to fly with a unicorn in the sky, Make-A-Wish set out to make it happen — with the help of an incredible community of unicorn believers!
From discovering the magical unicorn planet at Sydney Observatory to soaring over Sydney Harbour on a Unicorn Patrol, and finally meeting Snowy the unicorn and Queen Rainbow herself, Quinn’s wish was filled with so many joyful moments.
