Festive Afternoon Tea
Embrace the holiday spirit and immerse yourself in holiday enchantment at H Tasting Lounge’s beloved Festive Afternoon Tea. Available for $79 per person, every weekend, now through December 29, it’s a memorable and lavish way to celebrate the season with both favourite and unexpected holiday treats. Ten handcrafted holiday temptations, both sweet and savoury, are presented on whimsical golden Ferris wheels. Choose from O-Five Rare Tea and TEALEAVES infusions, or elevate your holiday spirit with beautifully crafted Yuletide cocktails.
Reserve your two-hour seating starting between 12 and 1 pm every weekend, here.

12 Cocktails of Holiday Traditions
Introduce your tastebuds to holiday traditions from around the world while sipping from the 12 Cocktails of Holiday Traditions menu. Explore festive customs through unique cocktails, including the warmth of the Philippines’ lantern festival, the cozy spices of Germany’s Gluhwein, or the playful North American holiday tradition of milk and cookies for Santa. From Venezuela to Oaxaca, each global cocktail offers a vibrant taste of how the world says “Happy Holidays.”

Festive Turkey Takeout
Bring the comforts of a holiday feast home by ordering from the Festive Turkey Takeout menu, crafted to deliver classic seasonal flavours to your table for gatherings big or small. A ‘Whole Roasted Turkey & Fixings’ serves 8 to 10 people, and individual ‘Carvery-to-Go’ meals, each come with traditional sides. Savour creamy Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, apple and brioche stuffing, maple-glazed root vegetables, roasted Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce and our signature turkey gravy, plus a decadent chocolate hazelnut Yule Log for dessert. Enhance the feast or set extra places at the table with add-ons like maple honey-glazed ham and extra side dishes.

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day Dinner
Two options provide different, but equally indulgent, ways to ring in Christmas over a decadent meal. Within H Tasting Lounge, a thoughtfully curated festive menu embraces the magic of the season with a meal starting with Truffle Whipped Cream Cannoli, a delicate amuse-bouche to awaken your palate. Savour the comforting flavours of Pumpkin Cranberry Brioche Rolls paired with spiced brown butter along with your choice of Burrata Salad with roasted delicata squash and crispy prosciutto or the velvety richness of Roasted Butternut Squash Velouté. Indulgent main course options include show-stopping Fraser Valley All-Natural Festive Turkey, Steelhead Salmon en Croute, Porcini Risotto or a luxurious Beef Duo. Conclude this enchanting evening with the Mont-Blanc Yule Log, a masterpiece blending chestnut and chocolate into a dessert as beautiful as it is delicious. Reserve for parties of 2 to 6 people ($110 per adult and $50 per child, with a deposit required), here.

For a taste of the outdoors, served with all the cozy creature comforts found inside our Winterlust domes, select the Winterlust Christmas Dinner, a festive feast designed to delight your senses. Begin with a Truffle Whipped Cream Cannoli amuse-bouche, followed by Pumpkin Cranberry Brioche Rolls and either a Burrata Salad or velvety Roasted Butternut Squash Velouté starter. Then cleanse your palate with Sparkling Cranberry Mint Gelée before indulging in a mid-course of Tourtière Croquette or Caramelized Onion Tart. Choose from entrees including Fraser Valley Festive Turkey, Porcini Risotto with shaved black truffle, Steelhead Salmon en Croute with Northern Divine Caviar or a decadent Beef Duo. End the evening with the Mont-Blanc Yule Log, a chestnut and chocolate masterpiece to complete your holiday celebration.
