To round off a calamitous and weirdly long year, looming on the horizon is a Christmas that looks set to be a quiet one, celebrated with just the closest of family. Nevertheless, traditions mustn’t be ignored, so why not lift the mood as much as possible with your best festive ornaments and a Yuletide feast? Turkey is an absolute holiday must-have on your dinner table, and if you haven’t had it yet over Thanksgiving, then Christmas is the time to indulge. Here are 20 of Hong Kong’s best turkey dinner packages for Christmas dining in the comfort of your own home!
