Nüwa at City of Dreams Sri Lanka has opened its festive season with a Christmas cake mixing ceremony, bringing preparations and a gathering together at the Colombo hotel. The property presented the occasion as its first ceremony of this kind.
The afternoon centred on preparing Christmas cake mixtures, with cocktails accompanying the gathering. Supplied photographs show chefs and guests working around a mixing table, alongside hotel staff and musical performers.
Hotel Manager Thakshila Galappaththi linked the occasion to the property’s plans for the Christmas period. Her comments focused on festive dining, guest experiences and personalised hospitality, with the cake mixing positioned as the beginning of the seasonal programme.
The ceremony gave participants a role in the preparations rather than limiting the occasion to a presentation by the culinary team. Images supplied with the announcement show ingredients arranged across the table before participants joined the mixing.
The announcement forms part of Nüwa’s promotion of its seasonal hospitality offering. The hotel’s emphasis is on bringing established Christmas traditions into its own setting within City of Dreams Sri Lanka.
The event introduces the hotel’s festive activity, ahead of the Christmas celebrations described by its management. Its focus on preparation places the kitchen team alongside guests and other participants at the start of that programme.
Nüwa forms one of two hotels within City of Dreams Sri Lanka. Melco’s property information lists 113 rooms at Nüwa and 687 at Cinnamon Life, placing the smaller hotel within the integrated resort.
Melco operates Nüwa as well as the resort’s casino and entertainment zone, while the hotel maintains its own accommodation and hospitality identity.
