Start a Merry Holiday Tradition
Christmas Day at Hotel Colorado has a way of bringing people together. Maybe it is the glow of the courtyard lights, the towering Christmas trees dressed in their holiday best, or the simple joy of gathering with loved ones in a place that feels both historic and welcoming. Whatever the reason, Christmas at the hotel has become a tradition for many families, and this year’s Christmas Day Dinner promises to be one of the most memorable yet.
On Friday, December 25, 2026, guests are invited to join us for a festive holiday buffet served from 11 am to 5 pm. The Devereux Ballroom will be transformed into a warm and cheerful holiday dining space, complete with seasonal décor and the unmistakable feeling that Christmas has truly arrived. It is the perfect setting for families who want to relax, enjoy each other’s company, and savor a holiday meal without spending the day in the kitchen.
Reservations required. Please call 970-928-3766.
The celebration begins with a generous salad and soup station designed to appeal to every taste. The spinach, sausage, and kale soup is hearty and comforting, the kind of dish that warms you from the inside out. The lobster bisque offers a rich and velvety start to the meal, with a depth of flavor that feels indulgent and satisfying. Guests who love seafood will find the shrimp cocktail station irresistible, featuring large chilled shrimp paired with a bright citrus horseradish sauce that adds just the right amount of zing.
The antipasto and salad selections bring color and variety to the table. Mediterranean favorites like marinated beans, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and olives create a vibrant spread, complemented by artisan cheeses and a display of salami roses with prosciutto and pepperoni. Fresh greens tossed with toasted almonds and dried cherries offer a sweet and crunchy contrast, while the cranberry and pear salad with blue cheese crumbles adds a bold and seasonal flavor. Neptune’s seafood salad brings a refreshing coastal touch, and the creamy Caesar salad rounds out the station with a classic favorite.
The entrée selections are designed to make Christmas dinner feel both traditional and celebratory. Carved prime rib served with horseradish sauce and au jus is the star of the table, offering tender, flavorful slices that pair beautifully with the holiday sides. The carved roast ham with brown sugar sauce adds a sweet and savory balance, while the lemon baked salmon with hollandaise provides a bright, elegant option for guests who prefer something lighter.
The accompaniments are crafted with care and seasonal inspiration. Lemon mushroom wild rice brings earthy and citrus notes, Boursin whipped potatoes offer a creamy and comforting favorite, and HC Brussels sprouts add a crisp and flavorful touch. Roast carrots and parsnips bring natural sweetness, green beans with bacon add a smoky richness, and warm yeast rolls complete the holiday table.
Dessert is a celebration all its own, featuring pecan, apple, cherry, and pumpkin pies, along with New York cheesecake and a decadent eggnog cheesecake. Colorado creamy ice salad adds a nostalgic holiday touch, and fresh fruit provides a refreshing finish.
Christmas Day Dinner is priced at $90 for adults and $32 for kids. Reservations are required, and this event will sell out. Please call 970-928-3766 to reserve your holiday table.
