December arrives with its familiar warmth and seasonal cheer! Our cover story explores festive fun across Bahrain, from tree-lightings and gingerbread-decorating to Christmas dining and gift guides. We also launch fact’s Festive Giveaways, offering daily Instagram prizes throughout the month until December 25. With Bahrain National Day around the corner, we spotlight island-wide celebrations, plus roundup the best New Year’s Eve parties. In more happenings, festive fairs return, Tyla performs live and the first Bahrain Coffee Festival makes its debut. Take an early look at the 2026 Bahrain Darts Masters, with early bird tickets now on sale. We recap the spectacular 16th Fact Dining Awards – check out all the winners and the vibes! On the food front, we sample the season’s flavours, including French plates at La Terrace, a Greek brunch at OPA and a classic Bahraini breakfast at Al Sedra. We also take the revived VW Passat Highline 2.0L for a spin and talk music with singer-songwriter Byron Gindra. See our pick
