Your guide to Christmas dining in Hong Kong 2025
There are two kinds of Christmas diners in Hong Kong: those who want turkey, gravy and a nap by 4pm, and those who’d happily swap all that for raclette, seafood or an overachieving buffet. This year, the city obliges in style. From après-ski indulgence and Tuscan feasting, to Riviera polish, a Japanese izakaya spin and a German winter table, the season’s menus cover almost every version of “festive” you could reasonably crave.
Consider this your shortcut to the most reliable festive tables in town, so you can focus on who you’re celebrating with, rather than who’s stuck peeling the potatoes.
