First of its kind gift and gourmet reception, co-sponsored by American Express and in aid of Hong Kong Cancer Fund
Hong Kong, China – 2012-11-16 — /travelprnews.com/ — In the spirit of giving, Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong once again directs efforts to raise money for charity this festive season. Hosting its first Christmas gourmet and gift reception, the Hotel announces the beneficiary of its fundraising efforts will be Hong Kong Cancer Fund. In partnership with and co-sponsored by American Express, the Hotel’s annual tree lighting ceremony will take place on Thursday November 29, 2012, followed by “A Taste of Christmas.”
Kicking off the festive season, the tree lighting ceremony will take place from 6:30 pm, where guests can attend and witness the lighting of the main Christmas tree.

“A Taste of Christmas” follows, taking place in the Harbour View Ballroom on podium level 4 from 6:45 until 9:00 pm. The ballroom will be transformed into a Christmas wonderland for guests to don their finest festive attire and experience seasonal edibles, purchase gifts and prepare for the holidays ahead, all with the central goal of raising money for charity. With the aroma of cinnamon and pine trees in the air, guests will be invited to make a silent bid on Christmas trees by BeauMonde; dine on mince pies, foie gras and festive delicacies; sip mulled wine and warm apple cider; and shop at exclusive stalls for unique Christmas gifts.
