Since first opened its doors in 1928, The Peninsula Hong Kong continues to welcome festive season’s guests with a plethora of enchanting and unforgettable experiences. Guests may enjoy timeless traditions like festive music performances, joyful family activities, exquisite dining, and chances to share the bounty of the season, the Grande Dame lets guests create cherished memories together.

Launch the Festive Season in Grand Peninsula Style
Guests and their loved ones can kick-off their festive season in grand Peninsula style on Thursday, 21 November 2024, with “The Peninsula Express – Festive Extravaganza,” an evening comprising of a musical performance followed by a festive feast in the form of a culinary festive market. 

Taking place in the iconic lobby of the hotel, guests will be taken on an immersive train journey, from Beijing to Shanghai with its final stop in Hong Kong, through captivating music and dance, with a surprise appearance by a celebrity artist. These will culminate in the highlight of the evening, being a time-honoured tradition celebrated at all Peninsula hotels worldwide, with the iconic tree-lighting ceremony, in which each hotel’s enormous and exquisitely decorated Christmas tree in the lobby will be illuminated.

After the ceremony, guests can continue their evening on the first floor of the hotel to indulge in a sumptuous feast, featuring festive Alpine delights at Swiss chalet Chesa, lavish buffets at The Verandah, Michelin-starred Cantonese cuisine at Spring Moon, and authentic Japanese dishes at Imasa, specially curated by the hotel’s acclaimed culinary team.

Celebrating the glamour and excitement of vintage rail travel, The Peninsula Express also pays tribute to the legacy of The Peninsula Hong Kong which had welcomed numerous guests, after their long rail journey from Europe and disembarking at Tsim Sha Tsui Station, once situated across the road from the hotel. Since then, the hotel has become a cherished “holiday destination and home” for generations of guests. The Peninsula Express will return to the hotel this festive season for the third and final year, where guests can anticipate a new and surprising festive inspiration and story in 2025.

“The Peninsula Express – Festive Extravaganza” event will take place on Thursday, 21 November 2024, commencing from 5:15 pm at the hotel’s forecourt with the festive performance beginning at 6:00 pm, followed by the festive feast at 7:30 pm.
