There’s no need to spend weeks preparing a Christmas lunch as Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach has got you covered with a selection of flavoursome Chrissie feasts yule love! On Monday December 25, the hotel’s grand ballroom will be transformed into a giant gingerbread house. Take the family to this whimsical wonderland that’s made magical with seasonal decorations and share a festive spread of sumptuous seafood and a hot carvery buffet with all your favourite traditional trimmings. We’re talking twice-cooked lamb leg with red wine jus and mint jelly, local sand crabs, Whitsunday tiger prawns, and pistachio and cranberry-stuffed turkey breast with crisp sage and cranberry jus. There will be live entertainment, plenty of sweet treats and even a visit from the big man himself – Santa! Grab your tickets here.

Festive folk looking for a more intimate setting can experience a hearty smorgasbord of merry flavours at Bistro On3. You’ll be able to delight in ocean-caught fare like Moreton Bay bugs, freshly shucked Pacific oysters and Tasmanian smoked salmon, as well as a traditional Christmas carvery, featuring tender roasted meats and an array of delicious accompaniments. A thirst-quenching three-hour drinks package is included and sweet tooths will be sated too with plenty of decadent desserts sure to keep you in the holiday spirit, including a chocolate fountain. Feeling hungry already? Secure your spot at the table here. Another jolly-good culinary experience awaits at Room 81, where you can tuck in to a special lunch that will take your taste buds on a delicious journey. With mouth-watering mains like lobster gribiche with young asparagus and duck a la orange with witlof and maple-glazed turnip, you’re sure to be sent to culinary heaven. At this adults-only affair, diners can wet their whistles with three hours worth of Moët & Chandon and curated wines and beers. Gift yourself an early Christmas present and nab a ticket here.
