Iconic Traditions epitomized this Royal Christmas

Want to feel and experience iconic traditions that surface the true spirit of the season without visiting the specific countries? MLH’s Royal Christmas and the gamut of dining experiences will easily take you across the globe and through the ages with unique traditions being highlighted.

Exceptional amidst traditional entertainment is the idea behind the seasonal entertainment at the Mount Lavinia Hotel. The Royal Christmas at MLH this year continues to tell the story of the many cultures and traditions that have shaped the spirit of Christmas throughout the years and the unique initiatives added to the season that strengthen bonds and links epitomize MLH’s hospitality throughout the nation.

One of the defining characteristics of this year’s seasonal line-up is St Lucia’s Day celebration on Thursday, 13^th December 2012 which surfaces the message of light and hope. A popular festival mostly celebrated in Northern Europe or a Scandinavian tradition proclaiming the message of light and hope. This festival will be celebrated in style with traditional music and Scandinavian delicacies and beverages at the Courtyard of the MLH. Ranked with some of the most renowned choirs in the world, VOICE PRINT who have enthralled many an audience both in Sri Lanka and abroad will team up with Coro CantAmici, a choral musical ensemble to ring in the Christmas spirit.

It's easier than ever to get lost in the materialism of Christmas and lose touch with the true meaning of Christmas. Well MLH regained some of that lost Christmas spirit this year when the mystery, magic and mirth of Christmas is indeed captured on the 24^th and 25^th of December at the Governor’s Restaurant, the Terrace and the Seafood Cove. And remember the surprise visit from Santa in the most unusual manner maybe a sight to see!

Two traditions merged into one dining initiative is the idea behind Gospel and Jazz Brunch on Boxing Day(26th December 2012). Eshantha Peries and his Asia Pacific Jazz ensemble will jazz the day whilst Nuovo Vita will show off Gospel that took shape in the early twentieth century from the old spirituals that gave hope and strength to many.

All this and more will be offered by the hotel this festive season, so if you are looking at celebrating a culmination of Christmas festivities with a difference, a theme in order to build a greater understanding on the spirit of Christmas or appreciate a tradition that influences on the present, Mount Lavinia Hotel should be your number one choice this season.
