The Prima Ballerina Brunch: Christmas Day at ENVY 2026

The Prima Ballerina Brunch brings a relaxed Christmas Day brunch in Dubai to ENVY at Th8 Palm Dubai Beach Resort on Friday 25 December 2026. Running from 1pm to 5pm on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, it is pitched as a family-friendly beachfront Christmas, with festive grazing displays, a plated main of your choice, live entertainment and a visit from Santa.

A hybrid brunch designed to linger

ENVY describes this as a hybrid brunch, which means you get the best of both formats. Cold, warm and dessert grazing displays are laid out for everyone to help themselves, so the afternoon starts slowly with festive bites and keeps going as long as you like. Then each guest chooses one plated main course, served to the table. It is a format made for a long Christmas lunch rather than a rushed sitting, which suits families who want time to open presents, chat and let the children wander between courses.

The Christmas Day menu

The plated mains mix Christmas favourites with a Levantine-inspired fish dish and a vegetarian option. Guests choose one of:

• Turkey dinner sando, a festive sandwich version of the Christmas dinner classic
• Lamb leg
• Beef tenderloin
• Salmon sayadiye, salmon prepared in the style of the Levantine sayadiye
• Cauliflower steak, the vegetarian option

If anyone in your group has allergies or dietary requirements, ENVY asks you to share them when booking and remind the service team on the day.

Drinks packages

There are three drinks packages to choose between. The Soft package covers soft drinks, juices and festive mocktails. The House package adds house spirits, wines, beer, sparkling wine and cocktails. The Premium package steps up to premium-label wine, beer, cocktails and sparkling wine, plus Champagne. Guests on the House and Premium packages must be 21 or over with valid ID.

Santa, entertainment and the family angle

Live entertainment runs through the afternoon, and Santa drops in during the brunch, which makes this an easy pick for families with younger children. The ticket structure is clearly set up with families in mind: children up to five years old dine free, children aged 6 to 12 need a Kids ticket (proof of age may be requested), and anyone aged 13 or over books an adult ticket. Table reservations are recommended, especially for larger family groups who want to sit together.

The dress code is smart casual or festive chic, so this is a good excuse to dig out the Christmas outfits.

Getting to Th8 Palm

Th8 Palm Dubai Beach Resort is on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah. By car or taxi, drive onto the Crescent and head along the West Crescent to the resort entrance, where taxis, Uber and Careem can drop you off. Using public transport, take the Dubai Metro to Sobha Realty or DMCC station, switch to the Dubai Tram towards Palm Jumeirah station, ride the Palm Monorail to the nearest terminal and then take a short taxi along the Crescent. Transport to and from the venue is not included.

Good to know

Bookings are non-cancellable and cannot be changed once made, so confirm your numbers and dietary needs before you book. The ticket includes the Christmas Day brunch and the drinks package you choose, and anything not listed is excluded.

This brunch suits families spending Christmas in the UAE, friends celebrating together away from home, and anyone who wants a festive lunch with a sea breeze rather than a turkey in the oven.
