“We will commence our festive celebrations with Thanksgiving Dinner continuing the MLH tradition from the era of 2009 to 2012, where the tree lighting stands next in the seasonal agenda on the 26 November. Country themed Christmas lunches are lined up symbolising this year’s festive theme which will allow the hotel to value their traditions and cultures to celebrate the joy in the month of December. Christmas day brunch is going to be the star among the festivities because of the big scale planning, meanwhile the Christmas-eve dinner will be organised to deliver the true seasonal atmosphere for the guests. Yearend 31st night is bundled up with all goodness and surprises for a glamorous welcoming of the year 2024,” Dewapura added.
