Virgin Atlantic elevates the spirit of the holiday season with a specially curated Christmas menu available onboard select flights from December 24 to 26. The airline, renowned for its innovative inflight experience, invites travelers in every cabin to enjoy a contemporary twist on classic festive cuisine.
Guests can savor a traditional roast turkey dinner complete with gourmet accompaniments, or opt for a refined vegetarian option—mushroom and butternut squash Wellington—crafted to delight even the most discerning palates. These seasonal offerings are available across all travel classes, ensuring everyone can enjoy a taste of the holidays at 35,000 feet.
For those with a sweet tooth, Virgin Atlantic ensures the festivities continue with a selection of decadent desserts: Upper Class passengers are treated to a sumptuous millionaire’s chocolate log, while Premium flyers enjoy a chocolate & caramel crunch. Upper Class guests also receive an artisanal cheese board, and every traveler is gifted a Lindt chocolate reindeer as a whimsical nod to the season.
Upper Class and Premium customers are further indulged with a bespoke Mile High Tea service. Delicate finger sandwiches—brie with cranberry, or cheese with fig chutney—are paired with a festive array of patisserie: chocolate orange mini Christmas pudding, mince pie éclair, blackberry and bay leaf macaron, and a warm scone. The experience is elevated by a signature Christmas cocktail featuring Black Cow Vodka and Champagne, expertly mixed by the crew.
On all flights departing December 31, Upper Class and Premium passengers are welcomed into the New Year with their own personal bottle of Champagne, fostering a celebratory atmosphere onboard. Additionally, guests departing from the UK can indulge in luxurious Lily O’Brien’s Key Limey Pie and Le Crunch Chocolat signature chocolates, adding a final flourish to their inflight experience.
