The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis to celebrate upcoming holiday festivities

The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis to welcome Santa, live reindeer visits, Teddy Bear Teas from around the world and the ultimate gingerbread mega-tree

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The Ritz-Carlton, St. Loius will soon be alive with holiday dreams. The hotel’s lobby will have a towering, five-level Gingerbread Tree showcasing “colorful holiday scenes” from all over the world.

The multi-tiered tree will be available for viewing starting on Nov. 23rd. Members of the public are invited to come and play a role in the tradition as the tree will be decorated with a festive garland that will be made of individually personalized gingerbread ornaments. The ornaments can be purchased and personalized for $15, with 100 percent of the proceeds being donated to Ronald McDonald House in St. Louis.

This year’s holidays will also showcase the annual “Reindeer Editions” of the hotel’s beloved brunch with Santa and Teddy Bear Teas. Mark your calendars for the arrival of Prancer the reindeer when he makes his special appearances at the hotel during the Dec. 14th weekend. Photo opportunities will be available as children are invited to engage with Prancer before he leaves for the North Pole for Christmas.

New traditions and memories are also being made at the hotel with family and friends through holiday dining and events. Along with the choice of having Brunch with Santa and Teddy Bear Tea dates, the end of 2018 will also have Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dining celebrations. There will also be an “epicurean five-course” dinner for a New Year’s Eve Dinner in The Grill and New’s Year’s Eve festivities in the Lobby Lounge.
