Christmas in Abu Dhabi has so many delicious options, whether you’re going out for a Christmas Day brunch, tucking into a takeaway turkey at home or enjoying a delicious and festive afternoon tea. Shops in Abu Dhabi and beyond have also gone all out with festive foods.
If you’re after a festive treat between all of the holiday brunches and dinners (who isn’t?), try one of these limited-edition holiday menu items. There’s no guarantee the holiday foods will be around next Christmas…
Time Out Market
Christmas is coming to Time Out Market Dubai with a whopping 30 new dishes. Forget the 12 Days of Christmas, it’s all about the month of festive dishes. We want to try them all, but Pickl’s third version of its Ahhh Bisto Bird Cheese Burger with smoked-roasted turkey slices, cranberry jam and a fried paxo ball sounds like a festive winner.

Jones the Grocer
How adorable is this Rudolph brownie? It’s a fun festive bakery treat that is sure to be a hit with little and big kids alike. The pretzel “antlers” provide a nice contrast to the gooey brownie.
