It’s always an exciting time when we get to watch as Fairmont Hotels and Resorts gradually unveils how each of its properties plans to celebrate the holidays, and this week, Victoria’s Fairmont Empress added its name to the growing list with a slew of fun and festive programming happening over the next few weeks. 

First and foremost, one of the hotel’s hottest draws, the Festive Afternoon Tea service will be making a return on November 25 and will be available to diners and hotel guests until January 2. Also making a return are the hotel's popular Turkey-to-Go packages featuring everything you need to host a holiday feast at home, which can now be preordered online. 

Q at the Empress will also be offering a number of dine-in opportunities throughout the holidays, including a Christmas Eve four-course menu on December 23 and 24, a four-course menu with optional wine pairings on Christmas Day, an indulgent Christmas Day dinner buffet in the Crystal Ballroom, and a pair of decadent multi-course dinners on New Year’s Eve. 

Fairmont Empress’ full lineup of holiday programming along with hotel holiday packages, off-site activities, and more can be viewed online.
