Brand’s refreshed look and festive celebration signals a bold new era

Colombo’s beloved Green Cabin marked the beginning of the 2025 Christmas season in true tradition, hosting its annual Christmas Cake Mixing Ceremony at the brand’s recently refurbished Colpetty outlet. The event brought together friends of the brand, loyal patrons, and long-standing partners of the iconic eatery to celebrate both the spirit of Christmas and the dawn of a new chapter for one of Sri Lanka’s oldest restaurant and bakery chains.

Guests at the ceremony took part in the time-honoured ritual of Christmas cake mixing, a festive prelude to the season ahead. Bowls of candied peel, cherries, and nuts were folded into aromatic spices and aged spirits, symbolising the start of the Christmas season. These very same confections will soon be available across all Green Cabin outlets.

Green Cabin’s Managing Director Chirath Devasurendra, a fifth-generation family member said, “Green Cabin has always been more than a restaurant to many of us - we see it as part of Sri Lanka’s shared history and our greater community. This refurbishment represents our commitment to preserving that legacy while reimagining it for the future. As we welcome the season, we also welcome our guests to rediscover Green Cabin familiar, yet refreshingly new.”

Now, with its newly revamped outlet in Colpetty, the brand continues to honour its past while embracing a modern transformation that reflects the evolving tastes of today’s diners.

The refurbished Colpetty outlet retains the warmth and authenticity of the brand’s heritage but introduces a more contemporary design language that invites both loyal customers and a new generation of guests to reconnect.

With the rich aroma of Christmas cake in the air and the spirit of renewal guiding its path, Green Cabin’s latest chapter reminds us why some traditions, when nurtured with care and reinvention, never fade.
