Holiday Cheer Finds a Coastal Rhythm at Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale

This holiday season, Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale invites guests to celebrate where ocean views, warm breezes, and easy rhythms set the tone for the festivities. Whether reconnecting with loved ones or creating new traditions, this coastal retreat pairs effortless luxury with the warmth of the holidays, all framed by sun, sea, and the spirit of connection that defines Fort Lauderdale.  Festive moments greet guests from the moment they arrive—cake pops at check-in, hot chocolate in the lobby, and the return of Santa’s Letters, sometimes with a handwritten reply. Throughout the season, families can enjoy Gingerbread House contests, holiday movie nights just for kids (offering parents the perfect date-night escape), and the beloved Cookies & Milk Delivery for Santa. Guests may also personalise their stay with in-room holiday décor, choosing either the playful Snowball Party experience or timeless traditional styling curated by the Guest Experience team.  To capture the magic, professional holiday photo sessions are available along the Atlantic shoreline, while young travellers can join Kids For All Seasons for putt putt tournaments, oceanside games, and festive surprises—all adding to a holiday experience filled with connection, joy, and coastal charm.

Michelin-Awarded Dining That Celebrates Tradition

The holiday season begins (and often ends) around the table, with meals crafted by the property’s Michelin-recognized chefs that balance comfort and creativity. At Evelyn's Fort Lauderdale, Chef Brandon Salomon blends festive dining with comforting tradition, offering nostalgic favourites and elevated classics that bring the comfort of home to the oceanfront for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Hanukkah. This year, the culinary team leans further into beloved holiday traditions with specialty dishes such as Joyce Farms Heritage Turkey Breast with pomegranate-cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, a 28-ounce Wagyu Beef Tomahawk with saffron polenta for Christmas, and Crispy Potato Latkes with house honey crisp apple preserve for Hanukkah. Just steps away, MAASS, led by acclaimed Chef Ryan Ratino, presents a setting for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, where seasonal ingredients and refined flavours create a memorable celebration. For more intimate gatherings, in-suite dining for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah delivers tailored menus, festive décor, and thoughtful touches, bringing the magic of the holidays straight to one’s room in signature Four Seasons style.
