The Astor’s “Christmas Chalet Feast”: Cheese fondue and melted chocolate in a ski chalet

If your holiday gathering calls for a warm and lively atmosphere, The Astor at Eaton HK is transforming into an Alpine ski chalet from November 23 to December 31, 2026. Alongside its regular chilled seafood platters featuring oysters, brown crab, and snow crab legs, each dinner guest will receive a complimentary serving of baked Maine lobster tail (excluding December 24 and 25). On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the menu steps up with chilled Boston lobster and rich, delicate 36-month Spanish Ibérico ham.

Beyond the traditional roast turkey with cranberry sauce, Christmas Eve-exclusive orange roast duck, and halibut Wellington, the real standout is the comforting European-style winter cheese fondue, served warm with cold cuts, pickles, and French bread. In the dessert section, the spotlight shines on a live “chocolate raclette” station—where thick, melted chocolate is scraped directly onto crispy waffles. Paired with a complimentary glass of spiced mulled wine or cinnamon apple ginger beer, this sweet, warming treat perfectly soothes winter fatigue.

For a more elegant and intimate celebration, Oyster & Wine Bar on the 18th floor offers sweeping 180-degree views of the Victoria Harbour skyline.

Grand Hyatt Hong Kong: Tiffin Beef Wellington, romantic Italian dinners, and a market-style food truck

Grand Hyatt Hong Kong on the Wan Chai waterfront is bringing equal charm this year. Book festive dining through their online store from now until November 16, 2026, to secure a 15% early bird discount.

For gourmands who love traditional European cuisine, Tiffin’s festive buffet is the top recommendation (adult early bird price from HK$ 1,428). Alongside the essential freshly shucked oysters and seafood, their signature Beef Wellington features a crispy pastry and tender center, pairing nicely with a Fabbri gelato station for a highly satisfying meal. Grand Café is serving up live-carved roast turkey, Tomahawk steak, and lobster rolls. If you prefer a refined Italian ambiance, Chef Valerio Mandile at Grissini has designed a festive dinner (adult early bird price from HK$ 1,264.8) where you can savor an authentic holiday feast by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

As a special touch, the hotel is running a “Festive Food Truck” every Friday through Sunday from November 27 to December 27, serving warm hot chocolate and fresh Italian donuts. Strolling past the gingerbread house displays before or after your meal offers the relaxed, cozy charm of a European Christmas market.

Emmer Pizza: A casual gathering choice putting tender roast turkey on an ancient-grain crust

If sitting formally at a hotel for three hours isn’t your top choice this year, Emmer Pizza at Pacific Place in Admiralty offers a lighter, more relaxed option. From December 1, 2026, to January 3, 2027, Emmer is rolling out a holiday-limited pizza called “The Christmas Cracker,” cleverly packing the essential flavors of a full Christmas dinner onto a single pie.

The pizza stars tender roast turkey paired with gooey brie and mozzarella, crisp Brussels sprouts, and savory smoked pancetta. It finishes with sweet-tart cranberries and fresh sage to cut through the heavy meats. The base features Emmer’s proud ancient-grain crust—milled fresh daily from emmer wheat and rye flour, fermented naturally for 24 hours, and baked at high heat for a crispy, fragrant exterior and a light, airy center. Finish the meal with warm mulled wine and a Snow Kiss, a semi-frozen dessert coated in chocolate and Swiss meringue. Alternatively, opt for the party menu for 8 to 10 guests (from HK$ 2,388), an ideal setup for a group of friends to share and toast without any formality.

With the year-end rush approaching, most hotel early bird deals wrap up between mid-November and mid-December. Whether you’re craving a lavish ski-chalet seafood feast or the casual comfort of ancient-grain pizza, it’s best to secure your favorite spot early.
