Sponsored: Because you’ve got a whole month of Christmas cheer to get through…

Tis’ the season to eat, drink and be merry. With family get-togethers, office parties, and friendly catch-ups, it’s likely that you’ve got a full itinerary of celebrations throughout December. Luckily for you, La Ville Hotel & Suites at Dubai’s City Walk has it covered…

The Grapeskin Fest

The hotel’s first ever Grapeskin Fest was such a success that the hotel is bringing the event back once a month, and December’s promises to be full-on festive. The courtyard will be transformed into a tasting sensation, with 50 different grape varieties, along with cheese and charcuterie, savory snacks and live music.
Grapeskin Courtyard, 4pm to 10pm, December 21, free entry, food priced at Dhs40 and grape at Dhs40 or Dhs80. For reservations click here.

Festive Feast at Chival

Take the pressure off Christmas dinner and head to Chival for an la carte dinner from their new a la carte menu. The holiday vibes will be in full-flow thanks to festive menu additions available on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in the stunning garden setting.

Chival Global Social, December 24 to 25.

Turkey Takeaway and Dine in at Chival

For a family sharing-style meal – which, for Christmas, has to mean turkey and all the trimmings – Chival is offering dine-in and dine-out options. Pre-order your meal to take home, or save yourself the washing up and dine at Chival. Sides include honey-glazed carrots, buttered mashed potatoes, and braised red cabbage, followed by a Christmas log for dessert.

Chival Global Social, order 48 hours in advance, until December 25, Dhs450 for two to four people, Dhs750 for four to six people. 

NYE at LookUp

It’s all in the name – Look Up offers spectacular views of the Burj Khalifa, so New Year’s Eve partygoers will be in a spectacular spot to see the fireworks. The package includes canapés, house beverages, live entertainment, and a toast a midnight.

LookUp Rooftop Bar, 8pm to late, December 31, Dhs650 per person.

NYE Dinner at Graze

If food is your idea of a good party then this one’s for you. The steakhouse is putting on a four-course dinner with the finest cuts and free-flowing beverages.

Graze Gastro Grill, December 31, Dhs495 with soft drinks, Dhs650 with house beverages.

Mulled Grapes at Grapeskin

A glass of warm mulled grape is a clear sign of Christmas, and Grapeskin is offering a wide selection throughout the whole of December. Catch up with friends and family over a glass and some festive-themed specials.

Grapeskin Bar and Kitchen, throughout December.
