It’s on its way! Get ready to celebrate Christmas 2025 in Kent at the Hythe Imperial Hotel.
Our festive line-up includes Christmas dinners and fun party nights in our stunning seaside setting. We’re ready to make this year’s celebrations truly special.
With autumn calling… can you believe the festive season is just two months away?
It’s the season that always sneaks up, and before you know it your diary is full. So now is the perfect time to make your festive plans – and at the Hythe Imperial Hotel, we’ve wrapped up everything you need for a magical December!
From chef-prepared festive lunches and sparkling Christmas and New Year’s parties, we’ve created a line-up of celebrations that make the Hythe Imperial Hotel the place to be this Christmas.
There’s no better way to start the season than by gathering together friends, family or colleagues for a festive lunch. Or perhaps for something a little different – a festive afternoon tea!
You’ll enjoy seasonal menus that capture the magic of Christmas – think roast turkey, rich gravies and a decadent homemade Christmas pudding. Or of course, delicious scones, mince pies, and turkey and cranberry sandwiches.
It’s the perfect way to slow down, raise a glass and embrace the most wonderful time of the year.
Join us from the 1st to the 31st of December this year – (excluding Christmas Day and Boxing Day). You can book sittings at 12pm, 2pm and 4pm.
If dancing the night away is your favourite way to celebrate the season, our Festive Party Nights are for you!
With a glass of fizz on arrival, delicious chef-prepared dining and a resident DJ to keep the dancefloor full, these evenings are all about fun and festivity.
There are plenty to choose from throughout December, including nights in our award-winning Coast restaurant, and in our grand Ballroom.
Or for something extra special – our Tribute Party Nights bring live entertainment from tribute favourites such as ABBA Chique, Billy Ocean and Michael Bublé.
These popular Christmas parties in Kent sell out quickly, so book soon to avoid missing out.
If you’re tired of all the washing up, why not leave it to us this year?
Forget the stress of cooking and join us for a magical Christmas Day lunch out. Served in the Coast restaurant, our special four-course menu features all the classics, from perfectly-cooked roasts with all the trimmings to indulgent desserts.
With every little detail taken care of, you can simply relax and celebrate with your loved ones.
Or if you already have plans for the big day, our Boxing Day Lunch is another chance to indulge, with hearty seasonal dishes in a relaxed, festive setting.
It’s never too early to start planning where you’ll see in the New Year…
See out this year in spectacular fashion with one of our two New Year’s parties in Kent.
Those with younger children will love our New Year’s Eve Family Party, complete with entertainment, a magician and a silent disco – with an early countdown so even the youngest guests can join in!
Or if you’re looking for a bit more glitz and glamour, our New Year’s Eve Gala is an adults-only black-tie event featuring fine dining, live music and dancing into the early hours in our Imperial Ballroom.
You can also pair either of these celebrations with a Christmas hotel stay package, so you can wake up by the sea on the first morning of 2026.
We are also pleased to offer our popular New Year’s Day Lunch too. Taking place from 1pm to 3.30pm on January 1st, expect a leisurely three-course meal and beautiful winter sea views – the perfect beginning to the year ahead.
But our New Year’s Eve party events are always really popular – early booking is recommended!
If there are more than 50 of you, perhaps for an office party or large family gathering – we will offer you a special group discount!
Our Festive Offers mean you can enjoy higher discounts the larger your party – save 5% when you book for 50 guests, 10% for 75, and 15% for 100 or more.
Plus, all NHS staff can take advantage of a special 10% discount on all festive events when showing their NHS card, as our way of saying thank you.
*Please note, these offers exclude Christmas Day Lunch and the New Year’s Eve Gala.
With just a few months to go, why not get this year’s Christmas plans all wrapped up and on the calendar now?
We have many more festive events taking place at the hotel throughout December. Take a look at our full Christmas 2025 brochure for all the details.
Whether you join us for a turkey lunch, one of our lively Christmas parties in Kent, or a traditional Christmas Day lunch, we would love to welcome you at the hotel.
If you have any questions, you can also give our Events Team a call on 01303 267441, or email them here.
We cannot wait to see you this December!
