EMBRACE THE SPIRIT OF GIVING THIS CHRISTMAS

As The Peninsula Hong Kong Unveils A Festive Programme Packed With Good Cheer

The festive season is a time for good cheer and generosity, and both are in abundant supply this year at The Peninsula Hong Kong. To celebrate the spirit of giving this Christmas, the city’s timeless Grande Dame presents a series of programmes and special offers throughout the hotel that are sure to put guests in the holiday mood while helping create a brighter future for those who are less fortunate.

TREES OF HOPE

As part of its annual “Trees of Hope” fundraising campaign, The Peninsula is partnering with Make-A-Wish® Hong Kong for the 12th consecutive year to sell beautiful glass SnowPage ornaments that will benefit the charitable organisation in its mission to grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. The ornaments are priced at HK$ 150 each, with HK$ 100 from each sale benefiting Make-A-Wish® Hong Kong. Guests will also receive a SnowPage gingerbread cookie with every ornament purchased, and will have the option of hanging the ornament on the hotel’s Christmas trees as a symbol of hope, or taking it home as a souvenir.

Aside from the ornaments, guests can also purchase SnowPage soft toys priced at HK$ 200, with HK$ 100 from each toy sold donated to Make-A-Wish® Hong Kong. Both the ornaments and the toys will be available at a donation desk in The Lobby from 1 to 30 December, which is being transformed into an enchanting gingerbread house for the season. As a festive memento of the occasion, guests are welcome to take pictures with the gingerbread house.

The Trees of Hope fundraising campaign will also extend to The Peninsula’s restaurants, which will offer special promotions that include donations to the charitable enterprise.

In the hotel’s legendary Lobby, the much-loved tradition of Afternoon Tea will be given a festive makeover as the “Tea of Hope” Classic Afternoon Tea. Available from 15 November to 20 December and 27 to 30 December 2014, the set is priced at HK$ 358* for one or HK$ 638* for two, and includes a HK$ 40 donation to Make-A-Wish for each Afternoon Tea set sold and an ornament.

Four special cocktails created for the festive season will be available throughout December in the hotel’s various restaurants and bars. These “Cocktails of Hope” are the ideal pick-me-up for winter evenings, and include: the Longan Toddy (HK$ 150*), a full-flavoured mixture of Myers’s Rum, Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 Year Old Rum, sugar-dried longan, dried wolfberries and honey; warming Glühwein (HK$ 150*), which features red wine, port, bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, orange and lemon; Iced Gluhwein (HK$ 120*) with grape juice, cranberry juice, bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, orange and lemon; and Honey Winter (HK$ 120*), a mellifluous blend of chamomile tea, honey, lemon and ginger. Available in all of The Peninsula’s outlets (except Salon de Ning and the American Bar at Felix), the cocktails come with an ornament and the price includes a HK$ 40 donation to Make-A-Wish for each cocktail sold.

THE JOY OF FESTIVE GASTRONOMY

The festive season is in full swing elsewhere at The Peninsula too. The Peninsula Academy, through which the hotel seeks to enrich the stays of its guests by offering them one-of-a-kind experiences, launches its “Make Your Own Gingerbread House” programme. The class for a maximum of 10 people on 17 December will teach guests how to make the traditional confectionary treat, and give them the opportunity to make their own. Taking place from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, the class is priced at HK$ 880 per person, and bookings can be made on a first-come, first-served basis by calling +852 2696 6766 or e-mailing diningphk@.

For those looking for last-minute gifts, or simply a generous helping of festive cheer, the forecourt of the hotel and the Sun Terrace will be transformed into a mini European-style Christmas market from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm on 24 and 25 December respectively. Featuring booths offering canapés, hot drinks and delightful gifts, the market will be open to both in-house guests and hotel patrons.

Guests who are short on time to buy a Christmas gift for their beloved can find a helping hand in the shape of the “Santa Claus Menu”. Available on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at all of The Peninsula’s restaurants, the menu allows guests to pre-order from a list of options and purchase a gift in advance, which the recipient can then pick up from the Christmas tree in The Lobby, wrapped and personalised with a gift tag.

The Lobby will resound with funky festive grooves courtesy of Rhythm and Harmony, who will be performing live in the evening from 24 to 31 December. The in-demand 10-piece big band from the Philippines features one of the best horn sections around, putting the cool in Yule with a set list that spans the 1970s, 80s and 90s and includes a mix of acid jazz, rhythm and blues and funk, from Stevie Wonder to Jamiroquai.

Guests who enjoy a more traditional approach to Christmas are well catered for too, thanks to performances by some of Hong Kong’s finest choirs to accompany the Festive Afternoon Tea. Served in The Lobby from 21 to 26 December, the Festive Afternoon Tea is priced at HK$ 438*per person.

For lovers of classic Cantonese cuisine, there are few better places in Hong Kong to ring in the New Year than at Spring Moon. The New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner at the restaurant on 31 December will see the five-piece Spring Moon Band performing a repertoire of all-time favourites and musical numbers that are the perfect accompaniment to a spot of ballroom dancing. The restaurant also offers a festive lunch and dinner set from 22 to 26 December.
