The Grand Christmas Social

By Christmas Day, the waiting is over. Families have exchanged their first greetings, children have stories to tell, and friends are ready to gather around a table with room for everyone. The Grand Christmas Social brings this festive spirit to ALATi at Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok on Friday, 25 December 2026. From 12:30 to 16:00, festive dining, live music and a DJ set the tone for an afternoon filled with warmth and the energy of a gathering made to last.

The pleasure begins before anyone decides what to eat. There are arrivals to welcome, conversations to pick up and perhaps a toast to those who have travelled to be together. Some guests will come as an extended family, while others will choose a smaller celebration with friends or someone special. ALATi provides the setting for every table to make Christmas Day its own.

 

A Christmas Feast to Share

The first course can be whatever the occasion calls for. Chilled Canadian lobster, snow crab, Heritage French oysters and prawns make the seafood on ice an inviting place to begin. Guests may then discover the house-smoked salmon trolley, served with citrus and other accompaniments, or savour Hokkaido scallop crudo with smoked ponzu broth. There is pleasure in returning to the table with a recommendation for someone else and hearing what they have discovered in turn.

The selection accommodates different appetites within the same group. One guest may favour a slice of prosciutto di Parma and a little artisan cheese, while another may choose sushi and sashimi or Thai pomelo salad with grilled prawns. These are the small decisions that make Christmas lunch memorable: what to try first, whether to share a taste and which favourite deserves another visit.
ALATi’s Grill | Fire | Smoke identity adds its own character to the afternoon. Thai river prawns, served with Café de Paris butter or Thai seafood sauce, bring the warmth of the grill to a table already filled with conversation. They offer a delicious counterpoint to the familiar Christmas dishes waiting at the carving station. The selection allows guests to honour tradition while following their curiosity.

At the carving station, glazed turkey with macadamia, onion and herb stuffing, roasting pan gravy and cranberry compote offers the centrepiece many will have anticipated. Glazed ham brings another Christmas favourite, while Australian lamb shoulder with mint jelly and Yorkshire pudding adds another generous option to the Christmas Day menu. Guests can build a plate around one treasured tradition or enjoy a little of everything. The meal belongs to each guest, even as the table brings everyone together.

The sweet selection offers one more reason to linger. Black Forest and pistachio raspberry bûches de Noël sit alongside Dresden stollen, mince pies, gingerbread baked cheesecake and festive chocolates. There are favourites that recall Christmases past and new discoveries to carry into the next one. A child may return proudly with a dessert, while an adult may decide that a second small slice is exactly what Christmas Day calls for.

 

The Music of the Afternoon

Live music and a DJ bring a lively social rhythm to brunch. Their presence adds energy to the room, while leaving space for the conversations that make each gathering personal. At one table, relatives may be catching up after months apart. At another, friends may be starting a tradition of their own. The music connects these celebrations without asking them to unfold in the same way.

A long Christmas lunch has a pace all its own. Guests move between courses and stories, return to a favourite dish and discover there is still more to share over coffee. From 12:30 to 16:00, there is time for these moments to unfold naturally. Guests can enjoy the food, the music and the pleasure of being together without turning the day into a schedule.

For families, that freedom matters. Children aged six to twelve can join the occasion at a dedicated price, sharing the meal with parents, grandparents and other relatives. Different generations may remember different parts of the afternoon: a favourite Christmas sweet, a conversation with someone they rarely see, or the simple pleasure of seeing the whole family together. Each memory becomes part of the same celebration.

For guests spending Christmas in Bangkok, the brunch offers familiar festive flavours in a restaurant with a character of its own. Local families and friends can make ALATi their meeting place for the day. Its setting in the Siam district provides a convenient setting for guests arriving from different parts of the city to come together and leave the pace of Christmas preparations behind once they are seated.

 

A Day to Make Your Own
 

No two Christmas tables look or sound quite alike. Some are filled with long-standing traditions, while others are gathering for the first time. One group may be drawn to the music, another to the food, and another simply to the rare opportunity to spend an afternoon together. The Grand Christmas Social welcomes them all, offering a festive setting in which every table can create its own story.

By the time the afternoon draws to a close, it may be difficult to choose a single favourite moment. Perhaps it was the first greeting, the turkey shared across generations, a song that changed the mood or a conversation that lasted longer than expected. That is the joy of a Christmas gathering: the day becomes memorable through the people who share it. At ALATi, there is time to let those moments unfold, creating memories that last long after the music ends.
