This festive season, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts continues its extraordinary partnership with Make-A-Wish, unveiling a delightful collection of Make-A-Wish Festive Experiences. These unique experiences seamlessly blend celebration with a sense of purpose, providing special moments that guests will cherish. From family portraits at Fairmont Banff Springs to specially crafted cocktails at Fairmont Copley Plaza, each limited-time offering is designed to spread holiday cheer. The remarkable aspect is that the proceeds from these experiences help grant life-changing wishes for children battling critical illnesses.
Meaningful Experiences This Holiday Season
"At Fairmont, our greatest privilege is being part of moments that matter," stated Omer Acar, CEO of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. "Through our ongoing partnership with Make-A-Wish, we're turning the season of giving into a season of hope. We are helping grant life-changing wishes for children around the world. It’s a powerful reminder that hospitality can go far beyond our walls, touching lives and inspiring joy where it's needed most."
Sip-Worthy Hot Chocolate
This festive period, Fairmont Hotels across the globe are serving up their unique twist on the season's most comforting drink, with proceeds from every cup supporting Make-A-Wish.

At Fairmont Orchid, patrons can delight in their special Wish Worthy hot or frozen chocolate topped with coconut whipped cream. Fairmont Mayakoba introduces a delightful coconut Horchata infused with Mexican chocolate.
Delicious Treats and Traditions
One of the cherished traditions at Fairmont Hotels during the festive season is the serving of milk and cookies. Various Fairmont locations are offering local flavors, such as the Pina Colada Tres Leches cake at Fairmont Kea Lani and the Coconut Tres Leches paired with Caramelized Pineapple Cake at Fairmont Pacific Rim. Diners can enjoy Chef Eraj's Chocolate S'mores Cake, crafted in honor of a Make-A-Wish child named Roux at Fairmont Century Plaza.

Wishing Trees: A Symbol of Hope
Fairmont's Wishing Trees unite guests and local communities in a shared act of generosity and hope. Various Fairmont properties have transformed their spaces into galleries of hope, allowing visitors to purchase tree ornaments to support charitable initiatives aimed at making children's wishes come true. Fairmont San Francisco is turning heads with its impressive life-size two-story Gingerbread House, inviting guests to partake in a festive experience.
