This vintage pop-up brunch at Jumeriah Al Qasr is a festive essential

Sponsored: Available for a limited time only…

Jumeriah Al Qasr has form when it comes to throwing a sophisticated sort of affair, and the new ‘vintage pop-up brunch’ looks set to continue the ‘never miss’ legacy.

The hotel’s trademark uncontrived luxury is being tightly wrapped in tinsel and draped with mulled vibes for the holiday season, and this brunch is the holy sprig on top of the Chrimbo pud.

Christmas dishes

This limited-time festive feast will play out across restaurants Arboretum and The Hide, on the hotel’s Lower Ground Floor. Pile those plates up with traditional fine festive dining fare, including roast turkey and all the A-List trimmings.

The yuletide sessions will kick off on December 3, and then take place on December 10, 17, 24 and 25 between 1pm and 4.30pm. Packages start at just Dhs420, and the house package (which includes classy cocktails and prosecco) is just Dhs550.

Christmas wishes

Your soundtrack will include jazz and swing versions of seasonal songs, performed by a very merry live jazz band — stoking the Christmassy feels with covers of crooning classics from the likes of Rat Pack, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald.

Christmas crackers

The fun doesn’t have to end there, because brand new Parisian cocktail Bar Buci is hosting a Christmas gift of an after-party between 4.30pm and 6.30pm.
