'Tis the season to be jolly, and Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram embraced the festive spirit with its annual 'Tree Lighting Ceremony' on December 1, 2023. This year's highlight was a one-of-a-kind Wooden Christmas Tree, creatively crafted from repurposed washed-up wood and fallen branches.

The event, inaugurated by Shabin Sarvotham, Senior General Manager of Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay, welcomed esteemed socialites from Chennai. Sarvotham expressed, "It is delightful to grace the spirit of the holiday season by coming together and cherishing the much-awaited Christmas tree, with so many lights and colors, spreading hope and joy."

The Wooden Christmas Tree itself symbolizes an eco-friendly approach, constructed from fallen branches and washed-up wood—an excellent way to recycle and make use of natural resources. Following the lighting ceremony, guests enjoyed a delightful high tea featuring savory treats and other Christmas delicacies.

Adding to the festive ambiance, the United Pentecostal Church choir performed some of their best songs, filling the air with laughter and joy as everyone welcomed the holiday season.

For those looking to take a piece of the celebration home, the event showcased an array of seasonal delights, including rich plum cakes, Christmas goodies, stolen breads, and hand-rolled chocolates. Guests could purchase these festive treats as gift hampers from the hotel’s Christmas Chalet sampling suite.

The culinary brigade of the hotel contributed to the festive feast with a scrumptious tasting menu, featuring unique small plates, farm-fresh charcuterie, and hot canapés for all attendees.

Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram truly set the stage for a joyful and eco-conscious holiday season, creating memories and spreading warmth among guests and socialites alike. Cheers to a season filled with lights, laughter, and the spirit of giving!
