Head of sales and marketing, Alison Roach-Plummer, said the event was hosted as a way to allow people to still celebrate
Christmas in the traditional way, but with all COVID-19 protocols in place.
“Normally, people would have their pork, their pan playing, parang and their pork. So it was done to encompass all those elements in a safe environment. I wanted to also embrace and encourage people, the small businesses especially who have been reeling and have been hurt by COVID, that they still had an opportunity to come out and be able to sell and feel the merriment of the season,” she said.
