Jim Corbett, Uttarakhand | 08 November 2025: The Golden Tusk, a premium family-friendly boutique nature resort located on the southern edge of Jim Corbett National Park, has officially unveiled its festive holiday programs for the year-end season. The resort will host a Christmas Weekend Celebration from 23 to 26 December 2025 and its much-anticipated New Year Nature Carnival from 30 December 2025 to 1 January 2026.
Designed for families, leisure travelers, and experience-driven holidaymakers, these festive retreats combine wellness, music, nature immersion, gourmet dining, and curated activities. The Golden Tusk aims to offer one of North India’s most enriching nature-meets-luxury holiday experiences during the festive season.
Christmas Weekend Celebration: Warm, Joyful & Nature-Inspired
The three-day Christmas celebration promises a relaxed yet festive atmosphere rooted in nature and togetherness. Each morning begins with mindful village walks and rejuvenating yoga sessions amid serene surroundings. Children can engage in creative workshops such as pebble painting, origami, eco-friendly crafts using waste material, and Christmas-themed art activities.
Evenings turn lively with bonfire gatherings, soothing live flute performances, and duo band music, followed by elaborate buffet dinners at the resort’s signature restaurant, The Golden Forest. The highlight of Christmas Eve includes Santa Claus’s visit, carol singing, plum cake distribution, and an interactive Tambola game, creating a cheerful community celebration under the open sky.
Thoughtfully Curated Festive Experiences
Sharing the vision behind the festive offerings, Anirudh Lakhotia, Director, Ivory Destinations, said that the idea was to create meaningful moments rather than just holidays. He emphasized that the Christmas and New Year programs are designed to help families reconnect with nature and with each other, blending peaceful mornings, immersive activities, musical evenings, and celebratory gala dinners into one seamless experience.

The New Year Nature Carnival takes celebrations to a grander scale with a vibrant and engaging itinerary. Guests can enjoy unplugged live bands, alfresco guitar evenings, magic shows for children, mocktail-making sessions, and a colorful folk dance performance on New Year’s Day.
The main attraction on New Year’s Eve is the Family Fun Carnival hosted on the central lawn, followed by an elegant Gala Dinner and Musical Night at The Hive. The celebration culminates with a midnight countdown and the much-awaited New Year Raffle, where one lucky guest wins a complimentary holiday package for 2026.
