Have you been to a Christmas Tree Lighting here in Dubai? For all the many years that we have spent here – we have absolutely loved taking the little ones to these. Most hotels, golf clubs and malls will be having their own Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. These typically come with mulled wine, cookies, carols and sometimes – Santa makes a special appearance and even hands out gifts for the little one. Do note that these are usually free to join, although some venues require prebookings and some are exclusively for guests residing at the hotel (so maybe you can consider booking a festive staycation, there?) 🙂 Please tag us on stories if you do go!

Here’s our list of Christmas Tree Lightings in and around Dubai!
