NH Collection Colombo marked the official start of the holiday season with its much-anticipated Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 5, 2024. The event, wrapped in extraordinary charm, brought together a distinguished audience, including loyal patrons, corporate partners, Colombo’s social elite, families, and festive enthusiasts, for an unforgettable evening filled with joy and celebration.
The evening began with the ceremonial lighting of the grand Christmas tree, a stunning display adorned with shimmering ornaments and radiant lights, setting the tone for a magical holiday season. Guests were serenaded by a live choir performing timeless carols, and children were delighted by a surprise visit from Santa Claus, who added a touch of wonder to the event.
A highlight of the evening was the grand opening of the NH Collection Gingerbread House, featuring an array of signature festive treats, holiday desserts, and curated gift hampers, inviting guests to take the Christmas charm home with them. Complimentary seasonal refreshments, including mulled wine, hot cocoa, and traditional sweets, added a delectable touch to the celebration.
Reflecting on the evening’s success, Yann Decaix, General Manager of NH Collection Colombo, shared:
“This year’s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony marks not only the beginning of the festive season but also the start of many extraordinary experiences we are excited to share with our guests. The unveiling of the Gingerbread House and the radiant tree lighting embody our commitment to creating elevated moments of joy and togetherness. It is just the beginning of many great things to come as we continue to reimagine hospitality and craft memorable experiences for everyone who walks through our doors.”
