The Gold Coast's Premier Carols Event is on Christmas Eve at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre. Scrooge, a Christmas Spectacular is a Christmas gift from METRO Church to the Gold Coast community. It is advertised as: "a beautiful evening of carolling, fun and laughter in the true Christmas spirit". Proceeds from the night go towards local community service groups and aid.

It's easy to be a Scrooge; a Scrooge it's easy to be

It's easy to forget your neighbour and say, "All that matters is me".

"There's a tale of old Ebenezer, he's the Scrooge we know so well
But when you look in the mirror, is there a Scrooge at all to tell?
For every Christmas his spirit lives on and who will wear the hat?
For a Scrooge can be any one of us, and that, my friends, is that."
