Christmas Tree Lightings with kids in Dubai

All hotels, golf clubs and malls will be having their own Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony which typically comes with mulled wine, cookies, carols and in some cases – Santa makes an appearance and even hands out gifts for the little one. These are usually free to join, though some venues require prebookings and some are exclusively for guests residing at the hotel.

The following list are the ones in and around the Dubai Marina, Bluewaters and the Palm Jumeirah.

Do enquire directly with venues for more details. You’ll very likely see us at some, if not all of these…. haha. Enjoy the festive month with the family!

Dubai resident. Stays most of the time in the marina as she can't be bothered going anywhere else after work and in the weekends. Originally from the land of the orang utans, spent the latter half of her life in the land down under. Always on the look out for deals, loves organising get-togethers, and occasionally steals some time for a sip of wine or four at ladies nights.
