If you are hunting for the ultimate family day out this winter school holiday, look no further than Mooloolaba Beach. Two powerhouse Sunshine Coast brands have joined forces to create a delicious, sun-safe experience that promises to keep both the kids and parents very happy.
Cult-favourite mineral sunscreen brand SNDY SKN and the flavour masters at LUMA Gelato are teaming up from 1–12 July 2026 to celebrate the best of coast life: sunshine, family time, beachside treats, and everyday sun protection.
A taste of the tropics
To kick off the school holiday, LUMA Gelato is churning up a limited-edition Tropical Gelato flavour created in collaboration with SNDY SKN.
Inspired by the ultimate beach day, this refreshing, mouth-watering flavour blends mango, passionfruit, pineapple, and coconut. It is made completely fresh in-house at LUMA’s Mooloolaba store, offering the perfect post-swim treat for the kids (and a cheeky scoop for mum and dad).
Score a massive holiday goodie bag
The tropical flavour is available for the first two weeks of July. But there will also be an official launch party.
- When: Saturday 4 July 2026
- Time: From 1:00 pm onwards
- What’s happening: The first 30 customers to buy a scoop of the limited-edition Tropical Gelato will walk away with an exclusive SNDY SKN x LUMA Gelato goodie bag valued at over $80.
It is the perfect excuse to get the family out of the house, enjoy a stroll along the Esplanade, and snag some premium local goodies for free.
Fun activities and epic prizes
If you need a bit of downtime to keep the kids quiet while you enjoy a coffee or gelato, the collaboration also features a brilliant colouring-in competition running throughout the holidays.
The prizes up for grabs are absolute lifesavers for local parents, featuring a line-up of premium goodies from top brands:
- A $100 SNDY SKN voucher to keep the family stocked up on sunscreen.
- A $100 LUMA Gelato voucher for future dessert dates.
- A gorgeous Kove & Co Beach Butter Bag.
- A skincare pack from the Lust Minerals Young Faces Range.

Making sun safety a breeze
Beyond the delicious treats, this local collaboration carries a beautiful message. Sunny Queensland days require serious sun protection, and Sunshine Coast brand SNDY SKN has made it its mission to make sunscreen something kids actually want to wear. Known for their clean, reef-safe, and highly protective mineral SPF 50, its kid-friendly formula is the perfect match for family beach days.
By bringing together great food, fun activities, and easy sun habits, this holiday activation reminds us all how lucky we are to live on the Sunny Coast.
Pop into LUMA Gelato at Mooloolaba from 1 July to grab a scoop, enter the competition, and kick off the winter holidays in true sunny style!
