Sheraton Hyderabad Kicks Off Festive Season with Annual Cake Mixing Ceremony
Hotels and people like to get ready for Christmas a little bit early!
The Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel had a special party where everyone mixed lots of yummy dried fruits, nuts, and spices together.
Some grown-ups used special drinks like rum and wine to soak the fruits, which makes the cake taste extra good later.
There was even a special spot for kids to mix their own fruity and nutty creations with juice instead of alcohol, so everyone could join the fun!
It's like a big, happy cooking party to get everyone excited for the holidays.
They also had other treats like donuts and cakes, and even stomped on grapes to make juice, just like people used to make wine long ago.
It’s a way to share happiness and get ready for giving gifts.
Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel hosted its annual Cake Mixing Ceremony to commence the Christmas season.
The ceremony is a centuries-old tradition symbolizing unity, prosperity, and togetherness, occurring about 40 days before Christmas.

A separate, alcohol-free station was provided for children to join the festive mixing activities with fruit juices.
