What’s the best thing about festive occasions?
If you say the music, people, or even just the atmosphere, you are correct. But there is just one more thing you are missing to truly make the party come alive. Christmas isn’t complete without a feast that leaves you warm, satisfied, and maybe just a little too full.
So, if you have been too busy to make any plans (or just procrastinating like admin), we have compiled a list of Christmas buffets that’s sure to put a smile on everyone’s faces.
1. Goodwood Park Hotel
Asian food will forever be my soul food. Goodwood Park Hotel has just hit my sweet spot with its incredible line-up of Asian-inspired delights. With their new creations, these dishes will transport you to a winter wonderland.
Sink your teeth into Baked Turkey Char Siew Snow Buns, Butter Turkey with Cranberry Cheese Naan, and more creative dishes on the menu. Who knew turkey and naan would make such a dream team?
For dessert, dive into the nutty richness of the Nutcracker Chocolate Pistachio Tart, or try out their Merry Mistle-Crunch, a zesty treat infused with pineapple and green tea that’s as festive as it sounds.

2. Momentus Hotel Alexandra
Momentus Hotel Alexandra will whisk you away on a ride through the ocean with an exciting seafood feast fit for Poseidon himself. Start with the Seafood Sharing Platter where there are standouts like boston lobster and baby abalone. Surprisingly enough, this is paired with mantou! You can also indulge in Snow Crab Legs at the Seafood on Ice station.
But if you’re a meat lover like me, the Live Action Kitchen is definitely more my vibe. The Christmas Roasts takes centre stage with highlights including the Tajima Wagyu Rump Cap MBS 6, Meat Loaf Wellington with Pistachio & Chestnut Stuffing, and Honey Grain Mustard Glazed Bone-in Gammon Ham.
For a festive twist, the live taco station lets you customise tacos with flavours like 22 Hours Smoked Wagyu Beef Brisket, BBQ Pulled Pork Shoulder, and Old Bay Marinated Barramundi. As an Asian, tacos for Christmas sounds like an unlikely combination but I will be keeping an eye out for this.

3. ALOFT Singapore Novena
Can’t travel this Christmas? Let 21 on Rajah at Aloft Singapore Novena take your taste buds on a global tour with a menu featuring over twenty festive dishes that are bound to delight your senses.
Pay a visit to the USA by indulging in the smoky, Slow-Cooked Brined Whole Turkey with Christmas Nut Stuffing, or savour the Pineapple-Glazed Turkey Ham from the Philippines, perfectly seasoned with hints of fruit and spice.
Seafood lovers, sail to Europe with Italy’s traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes or visit neighbouring Spain for a delightful Seafood Paella Valenciana — a fragrant mix of seafood and saffron-infused rice. End your culinary trip in Germany with a slice of marzipan-filled Christmas Stollen topped with dried fruit. What a sweet finale to the tasting.

4. Lime Restaurant
If you’re craving a classic festive feast, Lime Restaurant has got you covered. Feast on hearty dishes like Turkey Breast in Giblet Sauce, Slow Roasted Pork Belly with Apple Cider Glaze, and Gingerbread Chocolate Fudge Cake that just sounds amazing.
Pair your food with themed cocktails like Gingerbread OId Fashioned (S$16), a cosy bourbon-based drink with sweet gingerbread notes. Or, sip on the Spiced Cranberry Mule (S$16) a refreshing cocktail with a kick of vodka with a tart cranberry twist.
These festive feasts will help to keep you and your loved ones talking (and eating) all night. I bet you can even impress the toughest crowd with this buffet.

Choo choo! Are you ready to board the Festive Express with Hilton Singapore Orchard? Get ready for a magical epicurean railway journey across the three restaurants in the hotel, an adventure that will leave you delightfully stuffed.
For the little ones, the highlight would be the giant chocolate train sculpture at Ginger.Lily, promising a showcase of culinary craftsmanship with the Festive Deli pop-up on Level 1. The next station is at Osteria Mozza, where you get to treat yourself to a spread of Californian-Italian specials.
At Estate, indulge in luxurious Christmas Eve Dinner and Christmas Day Lunch starting with a sumptuous feast of fresh sashimi at the live station. Head on over to Ocean fresh Cold Seafood Bar to pick from over six varieties of oysters, Alaskan Snow Crabs, Boston Lobsters and more. But wait, there is still highlights like sous-vide Wagyu Beef Cheek, traditional Christmas Roasts, and more!
