St. Nicholas Business Club Christmas Gala was successfully held at the club’s festive premises on Saturday, December 21, 2024. Throughout the evening over 200 distinguished guests were welcomed and entertained by captivating shows.
A Welcome Drink Reception started the evening, and the “Ladies in Red” – elegant models dressed in striking red gowns – warmly greeted the guests, offering them a refined Christmas Mimosa with champagne, perfect to set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Following the Welcome Drink Reception, guests had the opportunity to experience a lavish selection of holiday-inspired delicacies, exquisite desserts, and the exclusive wine collection of St. Nicholas Business Club.
The Sponsors’ Awards Ceremony was the highlight of the evening. In recognition of their generous contributions, our Sponsors (Champagne, Gold, Silver and Lottery categories) were awarded by Capt. Dimitris Matthaiou, Founder and President of St. Nicholas Business Club. Their support was vital for the success of the event and served a greater cause, as the majority of the collected amount from the gala was donated to the Hatzikiriakio Child Care Institution, extending essential aid to children in need.

The entertainment program was truly exceptional. A mesmerizing Burlesque performance entertained our guests and introduced us to the enchanting world of Paris’ Moulin Rouge, while singers lit the atmosphere up with a dynamic disco-pop performance. Furthermore, professional Latin dancers full of passion and rhythm gave us a memorable experience.
During the Christmas Gala, a total amount of 83 grand prizes valued over €40,000, were offered to an exclusive raffle. Prizes included international and domestic travel packages, luxurious stays at five-star hotels, exquisite artworks, gift vouchers for high-end prêt-à-porter fashion, non-surgical cosmetic treatments, and many other luxury gifts.
