Christmas Day is the gift that keeps on giving at The Star Gold Coast, with festive events being held across its treasure chest of popular venues. Prepare your appetites for a feast with all the trimmings, because you’ll be spoilt for choice this Christmas at Harvest Buffet. You can start the feasting early with an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet on Christmas Eve (kicked off with a glass of sparkling wine on arrival, of course) or spend Christmas Day with more salivation-inducing seafood and a three-hour beverage package. We’re talking Sydney rock oysters, Australian prawns with cocktail sauce, Hervey Bay scallops, marinated mussels and kingfish ceviche – yes please!
Those who are keen to while away the day with bubbles and a sumptuous spread can opt for The Star’s Christmas Spectacular at the Event Centre Ballroom. Enjoy a festive all-you-can-eat lunch complete with a four-hour beverage package and live entertainment that is guaranteed to keep the good times rolling into the afternoon. Kids will be thrilled with their own special buffet and a visit from the jolly man himself! The talented team of chefs at Garden Kitchen & Bar have created a delicious four-course Christmas lunch, which is paired with a three-hour beverage package. There’s seafood platters and mouth-watering meats aplenty, but our pick has got to be the delectable dessert on offer – sticky date pudding with Guinness chocolate sauce and summer cherries.
If you’re keen to divert from prawns and ham this year, nibble your way through an exquisite Asian-inspired banquet lunch at Uncle Su. The masterfully designed festive feast brings traditional flavours, ingredients and cooking styles from different regions of China for a unique Christmas experience. You’ll be able to dig into deep-fried taro dumplings, chicken shu mai with truffle and steak and mushroom with shao zhi sauce. More Asian-inspired delights await at Kiyomi, which offers the perfect location for your Christmas dinner celebration, especially if you asked Santa for a bounty of sumptuous sashimi. If you want to take the hassle out of cooking but still feast in the comfort of your own home, look no further than The Star’s Christmas hampers packed with delicious smoked ham, roasted turkey breast, Tasmanian salmon and more! Hampers come in a range of sizes and can be purchased online.
