It’s officially the season of giving, and what better way to celebrate than with Australia’s favourite Christmas tradition?
Lions Christmas Cakes and Puddings are back, and they’re more than just a festive dessert staple—they’re a lifeline for countless local communities across the country. Sold by locals, for locals, each slice of these beloved Christmas treats contributes to a cause bigger than all of us.
A Taste of Quality and Tradition
For decades, Lions Christmas Cakes and Puddings have graced tables across Australia, known for their unbeatable taste and quality. Packed with over 50% fruit and made from all-natural ingredients, these cakes aren’t just a feast for the palate—they’re a true symbol of Christmas spirit. Proudly Australian-made, each cake and pudding is crafted in Victoria by Traditional Foods, ensuring the recipe remains close to home and steeped in tradition.
This year, the excitement grows even further with the introduction of gluten-free cakes, so more Australians can enjoy the festive magic. Whether it’s the classic or the new gluten-free option, these cakes are made to bring families and communities together during the holiday season.
Cakes That Give Back to the Community
What truly sets Lions Christmas Cakes and Puddings apart is their purpose. Since their debut in 1965, these cakes have raised over $70 million for local community projects—an achievement that shows the power of a simple pound cake. Every dollar from the sales goes directly into Lions Clubs and their life-changing initiatives across the country, from bustling cities to the quietest rural towns.
Funds generated by these cakes help support a wide range of projects, such as disaster relief, medical research, support for those with disabilities, environmental conservation, and youth programs. With bushfire season looming yet again, proceeds from the cakes are vital for funding emergency relief efforts and helping communities recover from natural disasters.
“In the past 60 years, we’ve come a long way from selling our first pound cake,” says Lions Australia CEO Rob Oerlemans. “Today, our Lions Christmas Cakes and Puddings remain proudly Australian-made, and their impact on communities nationwide is immeasurable. Funds from Lions Christmas Cakes and Puddings are vital in ensuring Lions Clubs can continue providing disaster relief and supporting a range of initiatives, like childhood-cancer research, that are literal lifelines to locals.”
A Tradition Worth Supporting

When you buy these Christmas cakes, you’re not just supporting one cause; you’re contributing to an extraordinary legacy of caring, generosity, and community spirit.
