Live Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony @ Dorsett Kuala Lumpur
A Joyous Moment to Kick-Start an Early Christmas and New Year Celebration!
My family and I were at Dorsett Kuala Lumpur last week for their Live Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.
The live Christmas tree with blue ornaments and twinkling lights was officially illuminated by Ms. Adele Ang, General Manager of Dorsett Kuala Lumpur. The nine-foot Christmas tree stands tall in the hotel lobby over the festive season to signal the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year.
Also made special appearance in the event were Papa Smurf and Smurfette from Movie Animation Park Studios (MAPS). Ms. Adele Ang and Mr Jeffrey Hanafiah, Chief Marketing Officer of MAP didn’t miss the chance to take photo with the mascots.
In conjunction with this holiday season, Dorsett Kuala Lumpur is also organising a fund-raising initiative to support two selected charity beneficiaries namely Children’s Wish Society and Persatuan Penjagaan Kanak Kanak Cacat Klang.
A series of collectibles comprising The Smurfs plush toys featuring Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy Smurf, Hefty Smurf and Footballer Smurf – supported by Movie Animation Park Studios (MAPS) as the official Animation Theme Park – and special festive Dorsett Bear Knapsack Sets which comprising a Dorsett Bear, a colouring kit, a colouring book and a pair of children bedroom slippers are available at RM100 nett each for hotel guests, corporate clients and friends to purchase for a good cause.
“As the official animation theme park of this CSR initiative, we are glad that MAPS has brought greater festive merriments to the celebration with the appearance of our mascot, Papa Smurf and Smurfette. This effort continues further with hopes for MAPS to reach out to more children in future,” said Mr Jeffrey Hanafiah.
Following the Live Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony which rings in 2018 with an early sparkling celebration, guests were invited to savour a sumptuous array of Christmas Festive buffet at Checker’s Cafe.
The highlight of the buffet undoubtedly were those festive favourites such as Roasted Tom Turkey served with Apple Sage Stuffing, Roasted Root Vegetables, Caramelised Maroni, Giblet and Cranberry Sauce, Roasted New Zealand Sirloin and Lamb Leg with Roasted Root Vegetables and Grilled Barramundi.
Seafood on ice in vibrant colour was popular among the diners. Fresh oyster, mussels and prawns were refilled frequently to ensure the biggest satisfactory for seafood lovers.
Salad, assorted cold cut and smoked and fresh Salmon.
Cheese platter which made Sam grinned with joy 🙂

Beautiful Christmas tree and loads of scrumptious food! Come to think of it, I have never eaten turkey!
PH, people always think that turkey meat is tough but from my experience, some can be done quite nicely with tender meat, of course the cooking skill is important also 😛
smurfs! didn’t expect to see them at a christmas event, but that’s very cool! 🙂
Sean, I like to watch the TV series when I was a kid, how about you?
This looks like one of the more affordable and value-for-money festive buffets in the city 🙂
Kris, for the price charged, the spread was rather satisfying I would say.
