Christmas is the season to throw your exercise and diet regimen out of the window and stuff your face silly. Apart from overeating, the other great seasonal tradition is overspending.
Why not kill two birds with one stone with a no-holds-barred Christmas buffet at a fancy hotel? Covid-19 be damned; hotels are still pulling out the stops for their Christmas buffets this year.
The only difference is that, instead of helping yourself to the food at buffet tables, there will be serving staff to help scoop the items on your plate. So don’t worry, you’ll still be able to eat your fill.
Here’s where to make your reservations this Christmas 2022.

Best credit cards to use at Christmas buffets
Christmas buffets aren’t cheap to eat at, so other than making sure you starve for 24 hours prior to make space in your stomach, you’ll also want to come prepared with the right cashback credit card.
These general, unlimited cashback ones are great for signing for the whole group. There’s no minimum spend either so they’re perfect for one-off expenses like Christmas dinners.
Alternatively you can use a miles card, even though we’re grounded at the moment. You’d typically earn rewards points which can be exchanged for shopping vouchers and the like.
Note: Don’t use your typical dining credit card like the Citi Cash Back Card, because most hotel restaurants won’t be recognised as a dining merchant. They’ll still be classified under hotels.
