Emirates Spreads The Festive Cheer With Christmas Treats

Emirates brings a refined touch to holiday air travel in December 2025 by introducing a suite of festive luxuries—think curated amenity kits, gourmet Christmas menus, and a handpicked lineup of seasonal films—all designed to immerse passengers in the spirit of the season.

Holiday-inspired menus, brimming with classic flavors and contemporary flair, are being served throughout December on flights from Dubai to Australia, Europe, the United States, and the United Kingdom, as well as on return sectors from the UK to Dubai.

In Economy Class, guests are treated to traditional roast turkey with cranberry sauce, creamy mashed potatoes, savory chicken sausages, and a medley of winter vegetables. To finish, look for sweet creations like spiced cranberry cake with velvety cream cheese icing, or decadent chocolate cake adorned with white chocolate pearls and tangy raspberry coulis.

First and Business Class travelers embark on a culinary journey beginning with zesty king prawns accompanied by lemon-herb marinade, cocktail sauce, and aromatic fennel salad. The main course features tender roast turkey with chestnut-apricot stuffing, rich cranberry sauce, pumpkin purée, and brussels sprouts finished with turkey bacon.  Dessert options span gingerbread roulade, chocolate-mint domes, and the classic Bûche de Noël, varying by route.

For an extra touch of magic, First Class guests can indulge in Santa-themed macarons and signature hot chocolate topped with marshmallows and gingerbread pieces, while young passengers in premium cabins are surprised with whimsical snowman marshmallow biscuits.

To toast the festivities, Emirates continues to serve Dom Pérignon, Veuve Clicquot, and Moët & Chandon champagnes onboard. Those flying First Class between Dubai and select European or African cities may also enjoy the distinguished Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 1985 vintage, perfectly paired with the holiday menu.

Throughout more than 30 Emirates lounges worldwide, travelers can savor time-honored sweets such as Basler Leckerli gingerbread, rich Christmas fruit cake, and traditional Stollen, plus carved roast turkey in select First Class lounges—ensuring the festive atmosphere begins long before boarding.

Ideal as a luxurious travel companion or a thoughtful festive gift, Emirates’ newly refreshed amenity kits are available in every cabin for December journeys. 

First and Business Class passengers will discover the latest Bulgari amenity kits, now boasting 16 innovative designs tailored for both men and women. These exclusive pouches include signature Bulgari fragrances and lotions, including the lauded White Tea scent, alongside a range of wellness essentials. The kits are presented on overnight and ultra-long-haul flights exceeding 10 hours, elevating the onboard pampering experience.

Economy Class travelers enjoy six collectible amenity kits, each inspired by Dubai’s global connectivity and future-facing vision. When placed together, the pouches form a mosaic symbolizing unity and innovation, in line with Emirates’ ongoing celebration of Dubai’s international role.

Distributed on the airline’s longest routes, these amenity kits offer practical travel items such as cozy socks, coordinated eye masks, and dental care products.

For families, Emirates provides a specially crafted amenity pouch for infants. Featuring the airline’s charming Little Traveller mascots, the kit contains baby-friendly essentials including a bib, feeding spoon, gentle wipes, a portable changing mat, soothing diaper cream, and a compact diaper bag, ensuring comfort for young travelers and peace of mind for parents.

To encapsulate the joy of the season, Emirates’ acclaimed ice in-flight entertainment system presents a curated collection of beloved Christmas films. Travelers can enjoy timeless classics such as It’s a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, Home Alone, and Scrooged, alongside festive episodes of popular series including The Office and Family Guy.
