This festive season, Al Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph Collection transforms into a beachfront celebration hub with a lineup of seasonal dining, family activities and New Year festivities along Jumeirah Beach Residence. Blending coastal charm with holiday cheer, the resort has curated experiences for families, couples and holidaymakers seeking memorable moments throughout December.
Cherished Traditions to Begin the Season
The season begins with two cherished traditions: the Tree Lighting Ceremony and Gingerbread House Decorating on December 3. Guests can enjoy carols, festive décor and a visit from Santa, while children decorate their very own gingerbread creations. For those celebrating at home, the resort offers Turkey To Go, featuring expertly roasted Butterball turkey and classic trimmings from December 1 to 28.
Christmas Dining with Mediterranean Flair
Christmas Eve takes a refined turn at Luciano’s Mediterranean Restaurant with A Night Before Christmas, a four course menu pairing oysters, caviar, truffles and festive desserts. On December 25, the resort’s outdoor Yuletide Brunch at The Grand Garden presents live stations, seasonal dishes and entertainment for all ages.
Boxing Day and a Spectacular New Year celebration
The season continues with Boxing Day at The Underground Pub, followed by a show stopping New Year’s Eve Gala Night, where guests ring in 2026 with elevated dining, live entertainment and a glamorous Hollywood Broadway themed beachfront countdown.
Celebrations into the New Year
The celebrations extend into January with a relaxed New Year’s Day Brunch, and for those observing later in the season, an Orthodox Christmas Brunch on January 7.
From festive dining to family focused events, Al Habtoor Grand Resort, Autograph Collection offers a month of celebration in a vibrant seaside setting.
