Christmas activities to do in Qatar

Christmas is almost here and this is our list of some activities that you might enjoy this Christmas.

From luxurious getaways to classic Christmas favorites, there is something for everyone during Christmas time in Doha. Make this holiday season extra special this year with a few of our favorite ways to spend the festive weekend. 

Festive Brunch

A number of extravagant Christmas brunches are hosted by some of the top hotels in Doha this time of year. Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, and La Mar are some of the big names hosting brunch this year. 

Santa Meet & Greets

Fulfill your children’s wish lists by paying a visit to Father Christmas. There are a number of events around Doha, hosted particularly by hotels that feature decadent meals and buffets for the adults while the kids have the opportunity to spend the evening with Santa. 

Decorate a Gingerbread House

Nothing says Christmas magic more than a cute gingerbread house. Sheraton Grand and The Sharq Village are conducting a session of gingerbread house decorating this year and don’t forget to sign your little ones up for some Christmas morning cheer.  

Christmas tree Lighting Ceremony

Feeling blue after the end of the world cup festivities? Attend a magical evening at any tree lighting ceremony in any of the hotels celebrating this year to truly get into the season’s spirit!

Winter Wonderland

Lusail’s latest and most exciting destination, Winter Wonderland is located on Al Maha Island. Featuring more than 50 exhilarating rides and attractions, we think it’s the perfect way to spend a festive weekend with your loved ones. For those of you missing a white Christmas this year, you’ll also be able to enjoy Qatar’s first outdoor ice-skating rink experience.

Family Staycation

2022 saw some of the biggest hotel brands open up their branches in Doha, ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Christmas is all about spending some quality time with your loved ones, and what better way to do that than to experience world-class hospitality and delicious cuisines in your hotel of choice while surrounded by endless recreation choices.
