Whisking up cheer

The festive season was set in motion with the annual Cake Mixing in style. The celebration began to smell delicious as the chefs lined up to mix nuts and wines. As guests participated enthusiastically, the sound of bells could be heard, ushering in the warmth of Christmas. The evening blended tradition with high energy, creating a welcoming start to the months of celebration ahead.

Cake mixing is one of the oldest rituals associated with Christmas and, over time, has evolved into a moment that captures the anticipation of the season — fruits, nuts, spices, and fine spirits were brought together in a spirited mix, filling the space with delightful aromas. This year, the festivities were aligned with La Fête by Le Méridien, the brand's global festive programme inspired by European sophistication and creative living. The Atrium came alive with curated music, interactive culinary elements, and an atmosphere that encouraged guests to pause, participate, and savour the moment.

The evening celebrated flavours, togetherness, and the magic of festive traditions. As the last notes of music faded and the final spoonfuls of cake mixture were stirred, guests left with a sense of warmth, anticipation, and festive cheer. The Cake Mixing set the perfect tone for a Christmas filled with merriment and shared moments of joy.
