December at Vita Student is always pretty special. It’s a month of togetherness, especially for our students who are far from home during the holidays. 

While the world outside wraps itself in twinkling lights and festive buzz, we’re making sure our residents feel the same magic. This month, we’ve curated a lineup of activities that bring comfort and joy to every corner of our buildings.

Whether it’s sharing a warm drink, creating festive treats, or welcoming the New Year together, December at Vita is all about making memories that feel a little like home, and a lot like family.

Festive Bubble Tea Workshop – 11th December

We kicked off the season with a hands-on Festive Bubble Tea Workshop, and what an evening it was. 

Residents rolled up their sleeves to shake, stir and sparkle their own creations. The bubble tea was only the start. It was an evening that brought residents together to enjoy something fun and uniquely festive.

What’s Christmas without a little sweetness? 

This week, residents enjoyed crafting their own festive cake pops, dipped in smooth chocolate and decorated with delicate holly-inspired icing. It was creative, Christmassy, and the perfect reason to get together.

Make Your Own Hot Chocolate Station – 19th December

Five people smiling and posing together indoors by a festive counter with drinks and a tray of small pies, enjoying December events. Plants hang above and a holiday decoration lines the counter, capturing the spirit of student life.

Hot chocolate is a December love language and we’re taking it seriously. 

Marshmallows? Of course. Whipped cream? The more the better. Toppings? As many as your mug can hold. Residents can head down to The Hub to build their dream cup of hot chocolate and spend an evening soaking in warm, cosy vibes.

Christmas Day Brunch – 25th December

Christmas can feel a little different when you’re away from home. But at Vita Student, no one celebrates alone.
Our Christmas Day Brunch is all about good food, relaxed conversations and the simple joy of being together. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, it’s a day to gather, unwind and enjoy a festive feast with your Vita Student family.

New Year’s Eve Celebration with Bombay Sapphire – 31st December

Four people stand indoors at Vita Student, smiling and holding blue drinks with straws. Casually dressed, with two wearing glasses, they enjoy vibrant student life amid large windows and modern hanging lights.


If there’s one night that calls for sparkle, celebration and community, it’s New Year’s Eve, and we’re marking it with a special evening featuring Gin Spritz and Premier Cru French 75 cocktails, perfect for toasting the year ahead together.

Think elegant drinks, great music, delicious canapés (with vegan options too), and the perfect countdown to 2026 surrounded by friends who have become family.

Moments That Feel Like Home

While December is filled with festive activities, what truly makes this season special at Vita Student is the sense of belonging that lives in our communities. From creative workshops to comforting food moments, every event is designed to make sure no student feels far from home during the holidays.
From all of us here at Vita Student, we’d like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Whether you celebrate or not, we hope you have a lovely festive season.
