If your idea of holiday magic involves towering seafood platters, endless carving stations, and waffles piled high with festive toppings, consider this your official invitation to feast your way through December. Vancouver’s top dining destinations—Glowbal, Coast, Honey Salt, and The Victor—are rolling out some of the most indulgent, joy-sparking buffets of the season. From Santa brunches to Christmas Eve spreads to New Year’s Day seafood blowouts, here’s where to book before every table disappears.
Glowbal, the group’s flagship spot on West Georgia, is going full festive fantasy with its beloved Santa Brunch Buffets on December 7 and 21. Between photos with St. Nick and all-you-can-eat stations of Turkey Eggs Benedict, double-smoked bacon, lobster pasta, prime beef striploin, waffles, omelettes and enough desserts to fuel a small North Pole village, it’s a holiday classic for a reason. The entire restaurant transforms into a twinkling winter wonderland—including a heated, snow-kissed patio—making it a favourite for families and anyone who believes brunch is the greatest holiday tradition of all.
Just down the road at Parq Vancouver, Honey Salt is hosting Christmas Eve and Christmas Day brunch and dinner buffets—perfect for those who’d rather let someone else handle the roasting, glazing and gravy. Brunch brings a legendary waffle bar (with fried chicken, naturally), made-to-order eggs, ham, sausages, and loads of holiday sweets. Dinner ups the indulgence with chef-carved striploin, JD Farms turkey, lamb, mac & cheese, sourdough stuffing, and a dessert station filled with butter tarts, pies, and bread pudding. Consider your holiday cooking duties officially retired.
Upstairs at Parq, The Victor is turning every Sunday in December into a festive dining event with its elegant Sunday Brunch Buffets on December 7, 14, 21 and 28. Expect refined holiday abundance: prime rib, roasted turkey, cedar plank salmon, sushi, seafood, bao buns, shakshuka, fried chicken and waffles, pastries, and an over-the-top Build Your Own Sundae Bar that may or may not turn adults into children.
Finally, kick off 2026 in decadent coastal style at Coast, which is celebrating New Year’s Day with a one-day-only Seafood Brunch Buffet on January 1. Think: mountains of oysters, prawns, smoked salmon, sushi, paella, lobster penne, salmon Wellington, prime striploin, omelettes, pancakes, cod, short rib, pastries—the ultimate recovery meal for those who rang in the new year a little too enthusiastically.
Whether you’re planning festive family outings, treating visiting relatives, or simply declaring December your personal buffet season, these holiday spreads are the city’s most delicious way to celebrate. Reservations highly recommended—Vancouver’s most extravagant feasts tend to sell out long before the first snowflake falls. —Noa Nichol
