Sponsored: Make memories to be cherished with a fun-filled festive season at one of the most family-friendly destinations in town, Swissôtel Al Ghurair.

The festive season is fast approaching and to celebrate the joyous occasion, our friends at Swissôtel Al Ghurair have teamed up with master Swiss Chocolatier LINDT to launch a festive-themed afternoon tea.

No one knows chocolate quite like the team at LINDT, who have been mastering the sweet treat since 1845. This collaboration between two renowned Swiss brands will leave you filled with festive cheer and your sweet cravings fully satisfied.

Presented over three tiers on a decadent glass stand, the specially curated festive afternoon features a luxurious collection of handmade LINDT chocolates. Other festive treats include candied bacon-wrapped figs with chocolate dip, dark chocolate crusted chicken terrine, and steak au poivre skewers with balsamic and dark chocolate drizzle. Adding to the sweet indulgence, the menu also features white chocolate truffles, milk chocolate Swiss rolls, and dark chocolate and raspberry tarts. Of course, it wouldn’t be the holiday season without a warming hot beverage, and this festive afternoon tea includes a selection of hot chocolates, luxury teas and coffees.

To complement the LINDT afternoon tea experience, diners can participate in the advent calendar countdown. At 4pm each day, Santa will appear at the life-sized “Giant Gift Box of Gifts” to find out if children have been naughty or nice and announce the lucky daily winner.

Adding to the festive spirit, Swissôtel Al Ghurair will bring back their annual Gingerbread House making workshop on 8, 15, 21 and 22 December, from 3pm to 5pm, where children will have the chance to meet Santa while their parents enjoy the festivities. Swissôtel’s skilled pastry chefs will teach the “Little Explorers” how to build their own gingerbread creations, adorned with icing and festive decorations. The Gingerbread House making workshop is complimentary for one child per two adults who join the LINDT Festive Afternoon Tea experience and AED 75 for each additional child.
