The festive season officially rang in at Ramada by Wyndham Lucknow as the hotel hosted its much-awaited Annual Cake Mixing Ceremony on Wednesday, 14 November 2025, at 4 pm, marking one of the warmest and most joyful traditions of the year. This time, the celebration felt even more special as it unfolded at the hotel’s newly introduced space – Brio Lounge, adding a fresh, vibrant charm to the beloved ritual.

Guests, patrons, and members of the hotel team gathered to participate in the ceremony, which has long symbolised the start of the Christmas season. The event began with a warm welcome address by Mr. Mukunda Chowdhury, General Manager, who expressed his delight at hosting the annual gathering in Brio Lounge for the first time. He spoke about the significance of community, connection, and festive togetherness — sentiments that truly define the spirit of Christmas at Ramada Lucknow.

Adding depth to the occasion, Chef Avinash Kumar shared his insights on the history and meaning behind the Cake Mixing tradition. He explained how this age-old custom marks the beginning of winter celebrations, where dried fruits, nuts, spices, and aromatic blends are mixed together and soaked, preparing the rich, flavourful Christmas cakes that everyone looks forward to. His explanation offered guests a glimpse into the craftsmanship and passion that goes into creating these seasonal favourites.

With laughter in the air and sleeves joyfully rolled up, guests took part in the mixing, adding their enthusiasm — and festive cheer — to the blend. It was an afternoon filled with aroma, warmth, and anticipation of the holidays to come.

Ramada Lucknow’s Annual Cake Mixing Ceremony continues to bring people together year after year, keeping the timeless Christmas tradition alive in the most delightful way. Here’s to a season filled with joy, flavour, and festive spirit!
