From the moment guests step into the lobby, they’re greeted by a spectacular 16-foot Christmas tree, dressed in red, gold and green, surrounded by the swirling “steam” of a make-believe train engine. It’s the kind of scene that instantly transports you back to childhood wonder; cinematic, nostalgic, and impossible not to photograph.
At the lighting ceremony, the crowd was serenaded by live jazz carols before being surprised by the hotel’s Train Conductor, who invited everyone aboard this year’s festive voyage. And if that sounds like a Christmas movie moment, that’s exactly the vibe.
Santa’s Station: A Treat for the Senses
At the heart of the lobby sits Santa’s Station, a showstopper built entirely out of gingerbread and frosting. The aroma of spices fills the air, and the details are pure craftsmanship. A frosted tunnel, a gingerbread train engine, and edible shelves lined with festive confections.
Here, you’ll find Christmas Luggage gift boxes, handcrafted gingerbread houses, log cakes, and buttery cookies that practically sparkle with sugar. Every corner invites a little indulgence, making Santa’s Station a must-see stop for both guests and visitors.
Adding to the magic, the hotel’s “Cards from the Heart” initiative returns this year. Children from the Shelter Home for Children designed handmade Christmas cards, available for MYR20 each at Santa’s Station. Every card supports the home; a heartfelt gesture that perfectly captures the season’s true meaning.
Culinary Highlights of The Christmas Journey
From 18 November to 30 December 2025, Sunway Resort Hotel becomes a festive dining destination, featuring mouthwatering menus and themed feasts across its signature restaurants.
At Sunset Terrace, the All Aboard the Holiday Feast buffet celebrates family gatherings with festive must-haves like Turducken, Baby Lamb Ribs with Chestnut Glaze, and a decadent dessert spread of Yule Logs, Mincemeat Pies, and Festive Cheese Logs. Weekend brunches include appearances by Santa himself, alongside live DJs and children’s activities.
Meanwhile, Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill serves a European-inspired Christmas menu that’s as indulgent as it is refined. From Seared Japanese Flounder to Roast Wagyu Prime Rib and Christmas Pudding with Prune Ice Cream, each dish is plated to perfection. Guests can also unwind with festive cocktails like Madame Nightflower and White Mojito while live carollers fill the room with holiday cheer.
If you’re craving something bold and fun, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes brings New York-style energy to Christmas dining. Expect Juicy Lucy Burgers, Festive Platters, and a signature Festive Wonderland CrazyShake, which is an edible spectacle that’s pure joy in a glass.
Festivities for Everyone
Families can create their own gingerbread trains, join Santa’s Food Lab, or dance under foam and bubbles at the Wonderland Disco Party on Christmas Eve.
Adults can escape to the Sunway MediSpa for festive treatments and signature massages, complete with complimentary scented candles. It’s the perfect balance of indulgence and calm before the New Year rush.
Stay, Celebrate, and Spark Joy
For guests looking to stay in the heart of the celebration, Sunway Resort Hotel’s festive stay packages include buffet breakfasts, exclusive lounge access and even front-row views of the New Year’s Eve fireworks. Whether it’s a romantic Christmas getaway or a family countdown celebration, every stay promises comfort, charm and a touch of cinematic magic.
As 2025 draws to a close, The Christmas Journey reminds us that the best holidays are about connection — good food, laughter, and giving back. At Sunway Resort Hotel, that spirit glows brighter than ever.
