There are festive evenings, and then there are moments when December feels as if it opens a hidden door and lets its first wave of wonder into the room.
Beautiful Christmas tree after the lighting up
Mr. Suresh, General Manager of Le Méridien, extended a warm welcome to all attendees at the ceremony.
At Le Méridien Kota Kinabalu, the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony returned with the elegance of a winter soirée and the warmth of a gathering meant to kindle the holiday mood.
The lobby shimmered with red baubles, golden glints and the soft perfume of pine, creating an ambience that felt like the season whispering its arrival. The towering tree stood dressed in luminous ornaments, glowing gently as if carrying stories from Christmases past.
When the lights came alive in a warm cascade, the space shifted into something enchantingly serene. The Seventh-Day Adventist Choir filled the evening with carols that unfurled like velvet ribbons, adding a sense of intimacy and nostalgia that only Christmas melodies can summon.
The celebration continued at Latest Recipe, where the festive buffet was presented like a curated holiday tableau — colours reminiscent of winter markets, flavours echoing the season’s generosity, and plates arranged with a quiet touch of indulgence. It felt less like dining and more like tasting the month of December itself.
Beyond the glow and the gourmet reverie, the night captured the essence of Christmas: people gathering under gentle light, sharing warmth, creating memories stitched with sincerity. A moment where joy didn’t shout but glowed.
