Families and holidaymakers looking for a destination to celebrate Christmas and welcome 2027 will have a range of activities to choose from at Speke Resort Munyonyo, which has announced a special festive season programme running from December 18, 2026, to January 3, 2027.
The holiday package, branded The Grand Festive Getaway, will bring together accommodation, themed meals, live entertainment and children’s activities, with special celebrations planned for Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Located along the shores of Lake Victoria, the resort is positioning the programme as an opportunity for guests to enjoy the festive season without having to organise separate arrangements for accommodation, dining and entertainment.
Speke Resort has advertised single-room rates starting at US$139 per night for selected dates during the holiday period.
The promotional rate applies to stays between December 18 and 23, December 26 and 30, 2026, and January 1 to 3, 2027.
Guests booking accommodation for December 24, Christmas Day on December 25 and New Year’s Eve on December 31 will pay the higher advertised rate of US$176 for a single room.
The pricing reflects different rates for regular festive dates and the major celebration nights.
Christmas Day celebrations on December 25 will feature an Around the World Christmas Lunch Buffet, accompanied by live band performances and a DJ.
The programme will continue into the evening with a special Christmas dinner, giving guests an opportunity to celebrate throughout the day.
Children will also have dedicated entertainment, including a carnival, a movie night and visits to the resort’s petting zoo. Younger guests will additionally get the opportunity to pamper a pony as part of the activities.
The resort has designed the programme to allow parents to enjoy the festive dining and entertainment while children take part in activities suited to them.
The festivities will carry on the following day, December 26, with a Boxing Day Bubbly Brunch featuring live music and a buffet lunch.
Families will also have access to the children’s carnival, movie entertainment, petting zoo visits and pony-pampering activities, extending the holiday experience beyond Christmas Day.
For the final night of 2026, the resort has planned a New Year’s Eve celebration featuring a special dinner, live band performances and DJ entertainment.
A fireworks display will mark the transition into 2027, providing the main highlight of the evening.
Children will have their own entertainment programme, including a movie night and petting zoo visits, allowing families to celebrate together while enjoying activities for different age groups.
The programme will continue on January 1, 2027, with a New Year’s Bubbly Brunch, live entertainment and a children’s bonanza. A DJ, movie night and petting zoo visits will also form part of the New Year’s Day activities.
