If Christmas spirit is still a little lacking, or you're stuck for ideas for how to entertain young children over the next few days, then the Christmas shop at Atlantis, The Palm might be worth a visit. Staying true to the hotel's extravagant style, the walls of the shop are lined with gingerbread (2,886 pieces apparently), there are snowman, a fake fire and Christmas stockings and you can buy mince pies, cookies, festive chocolates and, of course, miniature gingerbread houses. The Address hotel, Dubai Marina will be hosting a children's Christmas choir this evening at 7pm, as well as running gingerbread decorating classes in the Dome Atrium.

The special menu features honey miso roasted turkey with chipotle salt, wasabi yukon mashed potatoes and soy gravy, among other dishes.
