Have yourself a merry Murray Christmas at The Murray, Hong Kong

Nothing says ‘festive’ quite like a Christmas market. From December 15 to 17, the open-air Cotton Tree Terrace transforms into a marketplace where you can find an array of French gourmet food, baked goods and wine, festive decor, pottery and art, customised jewellery, and skincare. With brands like Jardin Europèen, Alcohood, Maison Argaud, and The Hubble Studio, there’s no better place to pick out the perfect Christmas gifts for your loved ones.

From December 1 to 26, visit Santa at his magical glass grotto ($288 per 15-minute session; maximum four guests per session) – having jingled all the way from the North Pole, he’s ready to meet families and hear their Christmas wishes. Santa’s assistant will be there to capture all the special moments in a photo session. Afterwards, parents get to sip on a glass of warming mulled wine while kids will receive a mini teddy bear (while stocks last). Book now via store-themurrayhk.niccolohotels.com/en/santa-grotto-2023
