Le Royal Méridien Chennai hosted its annual Mix & Mingle 2025 Cake Mixing Ceremony, marking the official beginning of the festive season. The event brought together Chief Guests, HNIs, influencers, corporate partners, and guests for an evening filled with warmth, celebration, and the spirit of Christmas.

The Cake Mixing Ceremony is a centuries-old tradition that began in England, symbolising joy, unity, abundance, and the start of Christmas preparations. Today, luxury hotels across India and abroad continue this ritual as the grand opening to the festive season.

This year, the ceremony was graced by distinguished Chief Guests:

·         Dr. Arathi Arun – International powerlifting athlete and Asian & Commonwealth Gold Medalist

·         Mr. V. M. Muralidharan – Renowned educationist and business leader

·         Dr. J. Radhakrishnan, IAS – Additional Chief Secretary, Government of Tamil Nadu

Guests came together to mix premium dry fruits, nuts, spices, and flavours that will form the base of the hotel’s signature Christmas cakes and festive treats served through December.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kaustubh Sur, General Manager, Le Royal Méridien Chennai, shared:

“The Cake Mixing Ceremony marks the start of our festive journey. It brings our guests, partners, and our entire team together as one community. The mix we prepared today sets the tone for the celebrations ahead and becomes part of the flavours we serve throughout Christmas.”

The event concluded with a curated Grand High Tea, festive interactions, and memorable moments shared among the guests. Le Royal Méridien Chennai looks forward to a joyful festive season filled with celebrations, warmth, and exceptional hospitality.
