If you’re still eager to stay in the festive spirit and carry on with those Christmas vibes post 25th December, Abu Dhabi has you covered this weekend. Here are some great winter activities to keep you at that seasonal pace.
Boxing Day Bonfire at Cabana Beach Bar and Grill
Boxing Day is where things loosen up, and this year it does so in particularly good style at Cabana Beach Bar & Grill, located at The St. Regis Abu Dhabi. Set against the backdrop of the Corniche, this beachside evening brings together open flames, a live DJ, and a dining experience that proves barbecue can be anything but casual.
Taking place on Friday, the 26th of December 2025, Bonfire Barbeque Night is a perfect way to spend time with friends, partners, or anyone looking to come together around good food, good music, and a vibrant atmosphere.
