As the year draws to a close, we reflect on all that has happened, and even through the challenges, we gather with friends to honour the spirit of Christmas and the year’s end.

Harpo’s cafes & Restaurants bring in a month of festive food, for all to enjoy. From tourists, Sri Lankans returning for the season and lovers of traditional festive fare, there’s something here for everyone.

Commons Coffee House offers delicious Christmas menu for the month festive coffees, fun kids’ activity and the ever-popular rotti cart, along with a range of hopper varieties that bring in that authentic “simply local” touch.

SHOULDERS cocktail bar and restaurant at Havelock City Cheers Garden presents a Greek infused new menu along with festive specials and Christmas menu on 23 and 24 December with live entertainment on Friday and Saturday.

Harpo said: “December has been extraordinarily difficult and exceptionally challenging time for our entire nation. In times like these, gathering with family and friends becomes even more meaningful, offering much-needed comfort and solidarity. I extend my deepest gratitude to our staff, which, despite enduring hardships and personal losses, shows remarkable dedication by continuing to support our operations. Looking forward to welcoming you at our restaurants I wish to thank all who have supported us through the year and continue to be with us during the season. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all those struggling through at this time.”
