Laurinda Ho’s 5 favourite things to celebrate this Christmas: the Hong Kong casino heiress, entrepreneur and fashion icon shares her holiday traditions, New Year’s resolutions and more
Ahead of all the hustle and bustle this year, we caught up with Ho at the launch of Pacific Place and Starstreet Precinct’s holiday celebrations, “A Fairytale Christmas”, to learn more about what the socialite’s been up to these days – as well as what she’s looking forward to in 2024 and beyond.
1. Laurinda Ho’s favourite part about the winter holiday season
For me, Christmas is a very happy season! We get to receive gifts and I love the homey vibe I get from all the decorations. I love Christmas trees and Santa Claus in particular.
2. Celebrating the holidays in Hong Kong
When I’m in Hong Kong for the holiday season, I usually have dinner with family in a place that’s surrounded with decorations. This year, I know that Pacific Place has a Santa Claus meet-and-greet, so I’ll probably bring them here to make some memories.

3. Her highlight for 2023
I got married this year! So it’s a very memorable year for me.
4. Plans or New Year’s resolutions for 2024
For the new year, I haven’t planned anything yet – but I hope I get to travel around more and explore new places because we weren’t able to during the pandemic.
5. Her favourite holiday gifts to give or receive
Personally, I like handmade gifts, so I will bake a cake or cook up a Christmas feast at home. I prefer hand-making the gifts myself rather than buying them.
