The Astor Kolkata marked the beginning of the festive season with a special Cake Mixing Ceremony hosted in the presence of specially abled people from Asha Niketan. The hotel’s annual tradition took on a more meaningful note this year as the team welcomed the children and residents of Asha Niketan for an afternoon filled with joy, laughter, and the spirit of Christmas.
Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Amit Kobat, General Manager, The Astor Kolkata, said, “The Cake Mixing Ceremony is one of our most cherished traditions, and celebrating it with the children of Asha Niketan made it even more special. Their energy and excitement lit up the afternoon, reminding us of the true essence of the festive season—togetherness, compassion, and giving back to the community.”
The event saw enthusiastic participation from the children as they joined the hotel’s culinary team in mixing an assortment of dry fruits, nuts, spices, and fruit juices—continuing the age-old custom that marks the onset of Christmas preparations. The Astor’s team ensured a warm, engaging environment for the kids, complete with fun interactions, festive treats, and memorable moments.
With this initiative, The Astor Kolkata continues its commitment to community engagement, inclusivity, and creating experiences that go beyond hospitality. The hotel looks forward to spreading more cheer throughout the festive season.
