The festive season is fast approaching and to celebrate the joyous occasion, our friends at Swiss么tel Al Ghurair have teamed up with master Swiss Chocolatier LINDT to launch a festive-themed afternoon tea.

No one knows chocolate quite like the team at LINDT, who have been mastering the sweet treat since 1845. This collaboration between two renowned Swiss brands will leave you filled with festive cheer and your sweet cravings fully satisfied.

Presented over three tiers on a decadent glass stand, the specially curated festive afternoon features a luxurious collection of handmade LINDT chocolates. Other festive treats include candied bacon-wrapped figs with chocolate dip, dark chocolate crusted chicken terrine, and steak au poivre skewers with balsamic and dark chocolate drizzle. Adding to the sweet indulgence, the menu also features white chocolate truffles, milk chocolate Swiss rolls, and dark chocolate and raspberry tarts. Of course, it wouldn't be the holiday season without a warming hot beverage, and this festive afternoon tea includes a selection of hot chocolates, luxury teas and coffees.

To complement the LINDT afternoon tea experience, diners can participate in the advent calendar countdown. At 4pm each day, Santa will appear at the life-sized "Giant Gift Box of Gifts" to find out if children have been naughty or nice and announce the lucky daily winner.聽
