The Christmas lighting ceremony at Starwood Resort Complex in Shenzhou Peninsula, Wanning Hainan was a feast for the eyes.
 
 
Sheraton and Four Points by Sheraton’s executive chef Danny Dan, and his team, created a huge Ginger Bread Forest for the guests of the night for the special occasion.
 
 
  
 
 
 
At 18 meters long and nearly the real size of timber logs, and made from chocolate and sponge cakes, a ginger bread house and ginger bread men, the sight was spectacular.

The Christmas hot toddy, made from red wine, rum and other secret ingredients, was delicious and warm. It was spiced by cinnamon sticks, aniseeds, and nutmeg, kept warm in pots, and there were alcoholic and nonalcoholic versions which visitors could choose from. Other beverages included Malaysian milk tea and specially brewed coffee.
 
 A group of joyous young children dressed in Christmas costumes joined and sang at the ceremony as the countdown began for the Christmas tree’s lighting. 
 
A pre-Christmas celebration is never without carol singing.  A group of joyous young children dressed in Christmas costumes joined and sang at the ceremony as the countdown began for the Christmas tree’s lighting. 
 
 
 
Father Christmas was happily giving out his Christmas candies, which kick-started the festive mood filled with a joyous Christmas atmosphere.
 
After the lighting ceremony, the special guests were invited to an evening of buffet dinner, entertainments and a prize lottery. The night ended late and was no doubt a success with all the guests happily wishing the hosts goodbye.
