This festive season, Le Royal Méridien has it all: festive takeaways and tasty turkey-to-go, Christmas Day brunches, New Years celebrations to start 2025 with a bang - and we’ve got the inside scoop on all of it!
There’s one question that needs answering before we get to any of that: have you been naughty or nice this year? No matter which way you landed, Le Royal Méridien has fab breakfast events lined up all December long to thrill the little - and big! - kids in your life.
WHO ARE YOU HAVING BREAKFAST WITH THIS FESTIVE SEASON?
BREAKFAST WITH SANTA CLAUS
Market Kitchen
Been putting in the hard yards this year and sure you have a spot on the nice list? Or maybe you can’t wait until Christmas Eve to try and catch a glimpse of Santa Claus as he delivers your presents? Look no further: he’ll be popping into Market Kitchen every weekend in December to take a break from the icy North Pole and enjoy some sun in Abu Dhabi instead!
This holly jolly breakfast with Santa Claus is a fun morning for the whole family: dig into festive treats, sing along to your favourite holiday hits, enjoy magical story time, dive into fun kids' activities and of course be sure to snap a selfie with Santa before he boards his sleigh back to the North Pole!

BRUNCH WITH THE GRINCH
Market Kitchen
Maybe you weren’t quite as nice as you hoped and want to avoid Santa’s watchful eye, or maybe you’re a little bit Grinch-y, but still secretly love that festive cheer? Brunch with the Grinch will be right up your alley - and a great laugh as well! Find your perfect outfit, Grinch-style - oooh, ahhh, hmmm, that’s it, I’m not going - and get yourself down to Market Kitchen for a Christmas celebration with a twist.
What promises to be a joyful brunch with the Grinch - yes, the infamous green character who once tried to steal Christmas - will be packed full of fun and festive games: earn Grinch coins to trade for quirky secret gifts so you can take a touch of holiday magic home with you.
