Our Biggest Event of the Year!

On Friday, December 13th, 2024...

the renowned Starlight Ballroom of the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica will be transformed by a spirited Merry Christmas Celebration in Grand British Tradition!  THE best Christmas Luncheon in town, this festive event has become a celebrated favorite with the British and American communities in Southern California. Each year it draws hundreds of guests, including representatives from the British Consulate, local political figures, and prominent leaders from the business and entertainment communities.

Festivities begin at 11:30 am with a hosted Champagne Reception and Silent Auction. The traditional sit-down British Christmas Luncheon, complete with all the trimmings, is accompanied by live entertainment, and an engaging speech by our Special Guest. An Opportunity Drawing featuring spectacular international trips rounds out the afternoon.
