The Peninsula Hong Kong Reveals Magical Festive Moments For The Family

In this season of joy, The Peninsula Hong Kong shares the happiness with guests around the globe during the festive season with impressive and charitable events that celebrate the joy of giving and raise funds for Make-A-WishR Hong Kong and Shanghai K Charitable Foundation’s support programmes at the Sir Horace Kadoorie Youth Development Centre. 

To help our guests truly enjoy this festive season, The Peninsula Hong Kong has created a range of activities that will make celebrating this year’s holiday an experience they will never forget.

‘Stories from the Tree’ and ‘Trees of Hope’
The festive season will be brought to life at each of our ten Peninsula hotels around the globe under the theme, ‘Stories from the Tree.’ Six colourful characters – including the nutcracker, gingerbread man and red-breasted robin – will adorn giant Christmas trees in each of our grand hotel lobbies, as well as the abundant decorations that will brighten each property.

Guests who stay in or visit the hotel will have the chance to purchase the “Nutcracker” ornament, priced at HK$190 each. For every ornament sold, 12% will be donated to Make-A-WishR Hong Kong and US$5 will be donated to Shanghai K Charitable Foundation’s support programmes at the Sir Horace Kadoorie Youth Development Centre, which is a Hong Kong based non-profit organization sponsoring life skills and vocational training to promote the development of disadvantaged young people in Greater China.

Celebrating festive traditions in a digital age
In support of children’s literacy, The Peninsula Hotels has also produced a digital storybook, entitled ‘The Nutcracker’s Adventure.’ Written for the whole family to enjoy, the book will be available to download from our festive webpages on a complimentary basis.

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.

In the hotel’s legendary Lobby, the much-loved tradition of Afternoon Tea will be given a festive makeover as the “Teas of Hope” Classic Afternoon Tea. Available from 1 to 21 December and 27 to 30 December, the set is priced at HK$ 388* per person and HK$ 688 for two, and includes a “Nutcracker” festive pin. For each tea set sold, 12% will be donated to Make-A-WishR Hong Kong and US$5 will be donated to Shanghai K Charitable Foundation’s support programmes at the Sir Horace Kadoorie Youth Development Centre.
