A Christmas brunch is coming to Abu Dhabi this June (yes, really)
Think you have to wait until December for roast turkey, stuffing and a side of Mariah Carey? Think again. Abu Dhabi's Coopers is throwing the calendar out the window with its gloriously unhinged – and undeniably brilliant – Alternative X-Mas Brunch, happening not once but twice this June.
Mark your diaries for June 21 and 22, when Santa swaps snow for sand dunes and your favourite festive beats get a sunny remix. Yes, it's Christmas. Yes, it's summer. And yes, there will be gravy.
This tongue-in-cheek mid-year celebration promises all the seasonal trimmings: a loaded buffet of classic Christmas dishes, a soundtrack of absolute bangers courtesy of DJ Brent Anthony and a live set from the lads of IB Boys.
Santa himself is rumoured to be making a VIP cameo – and he's clearly traded in his sleigh for something with air-con.
Dig out your novelty jumpers (or maybe just your best red tank top), because festive dress is highly encouraged. Whether you're in it for the turkey or just the chaos of singing Jingle Bells in 40°C heat, this is your chance to relive the magic of December – minus the jet lag and winter coats.
Bookings are filling up fast and with packages starting from Dhs249 for house beverages and Dhs379 for the premium experience, you'll want to lock in your spot faster than you can say 'Ho, ho, how is this actually happening?'
Dhs249 (soft drinks), Dhs379 (premium beverages). June 21-22, Cooper's, Park Rotana.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar lands the biggest wins at the 2025 BET Awards
Kendrick Lamar was the top winner at the BET Awards, an awards ceremony honouring Black actors, singers and sports stars. The 30 For 30 rapper won the best male hip hop artist award, best album of the year as well as the video of the year award for Not Like Us. Lamar and filmmaker Dave Free also took home the video director of the year award at the event, which was held at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles and broadcast on the BET cable channel. "BET has always made sure they're representing the culture right and always put me in the midst of the cycle of what we represent," Lamar said on stage when accepting his award. Host comedian Kevin Hart opened the ceremony by recognizing the BET Awards' 25th anniversary and all of the "history that has been made" on the stage. The ceremony traversed the evolution of Black music, starting with a performance by RB artist Ashanti that featured a compilation of songs, including her 2002 song Foolish. Additional performances included other 2000s songs Ballin' by Mustard, 1 Thing by Amerie and Like You by Bow Wow. Hart led with jokes while also highlighting the BET Ultimate Icon Award winners of the night, including Kirk Franklin, Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg. The special award was given to those that have paid homage to music, entertainment, advocacy and community impact. Presented by Stevie Wonder, Foxx accepted his award and reflected on his recovery journey after having a stroke in 2023. "I gotta be honest, when I saw the in memoriam, I was like, 'Man, that could have been me'," he said. Another honour included the best female hip hop artist award for rising rapper Doechii.
