The most wonderful time of the year deserves an extraordinary celebration.

Step into a world of festive wonder at Emporium Hotel South Bank, where Christmas magic comes to life in the grand Frangipani Ballroom. Gather with loved ones to share in the joy of the season, indulge in an exquisite festive feast and delight in enchanting entertainment and heartwarming surprises, all wrapped in the warmth and wonder of Christmas Day.

Discover a lavish festive buffet celebrating the finest local produce and traditional Christmas favourites. Delight in freshly shucked Sydney rock oysters and succulent Mooloolaba king prawns before making your way to the traditional carvery, where golden roast turkey, honey mustard glazed ham, slow-roasted beef and all the trimmings await. Linger a little longer over artisan cheeses and charcuterie, and be sure to leave room for a decadent selection of Christmas desserts.

With Champagne flowing and glasses raised, the afternoon is yours to savour. A three-hour premium beverage package features Champagne, premium wines, bespoke Christmas cocktails and refreshing mocktails, perfectly paired with an occasion worth celebrating.

For the little ones, Christmas holds its own special kind of excitement. A dedicated children's table is filled with festive favourites, while a much-anticipated visit from Santa Claus promises plenty of smiles, a little Christmas magic and gifts for everyone on the nice list.

Between the clinking of glasses, the sounds of live entertainment and the joy of sharing Christmas lunch with loved ones, the Frangipani Ballroom becomes a place to make new traditions and revisit old favourites.

Your seat at the Christmas table awaits. Book now before it's all wrapped up.
