Minor Hotels Sri Lanka joyfully welcomed the season of celebration with two enchanting Christmas Cake Mixing Ceremonies held at its signature coastal sanctuaries — Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort, Anantara Kalutara Resort, and Avani Kalutara Resort.
At the Kalutara celebration, Christoph Dueker, General Manager of Anantara and Avani Kalutara Resorts, highlighted the heritage of this cherished custom:
“The tradition of Christmas cake mixing dates back centuries to Britain, where families gathered to soak fruits and spices for their festive puddings and cakes. Over time, it evolved into a joyous communal ritual that continues to unite people across the world. Here in Sri Lanka, we are honoured to preserve this beautiful tradition, blending it with the warmth and hospitality that define our resorts.”
With the ceremonial mixing complete, Minor Hotels Sri Lanka officially ushered in the festive season — a time to savour indulgent feasts, sunset celebrations, and heartfelt gatherings. From gourmet dining experiences and family festivities to serene seaside moments, guests are invited to embrace the joy, flavour, and enchantment that define the holidays at Anantara and Avani resorts.
This season, Minor Hotels Sri Lanka warmly invites guests to discover the magic of togetherness across its stunning destinations where every celebration is crafted with care, every flavour tells a story, and every moment is wrapped in the spirit of the season.
