The Tropical Christmas countdown at Pegasus Reef kicked off with General Manager Renuke Coswatte and chefs leading the much-anticipated annual Christmas cake mixing ceremony

The countdown to Christmas has officially begun at Pegasus Reef, where the much-anticipated annual cake mixing ceremony kicked off the hotel’s festive celebrations in a uniquely tropical style. 

This beloved tradition marks the start of an exciting holiday season, inviting guests from near and far to celebrate amidst a picturesque, beachfront setting.

As chefs paraded the cake-mixing ingredients, the rhythmic beat of traditional drums filled the air, setting a festive mood. Guests actively participated in the age-old tradition of blending spices, fruits, and nuts, symbolising good fortune and holiday cheer for the season ahead. The festive atmosphere buzzed with cheerful chatter and a delightful selection of refreshments. It was the perfect way for families and friends to come together and spread holiday cheer in a stunning tropical setting. 

Pegasus Reef General Manager Renuke Coswatte unveiled the theme for the season – “A Tropical Christmas at Pegasus.” “We’re thrilled to launch our festive celebrations,” he said. “This ceremony fosters a sense of community as we embrace the joy of the holidays. Join us for a truly magical Tropical Christmas experience at Pegasus Reef this December.” 

Guests were in for a delightful surprise when Santa himself appeared on a big screen, checking up on his Christmas cake order – a playful hint at the hotel’s upcoming festive fun. Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a relaxed ambiance with ambient music, allowing them to connect and savour the tropical paradise that surrounds them. 

This cake mixing ceremony is just the beginning. Rasaketha, one of the hotel’s main restaurants, will be hosting a spectacular seven-day themed dinner series leading up to Christmas. These dinners will showcase the diverse culinary influences of the region, featuring North Indian, Sri Lankan, and BBQ nights. Prepare to be tantalised by a kaleidoscope of flavours!
