To call Giggs annual ‘Giggsmas’ the outing of the year, would be an understatement! What started out as a formal invite matured into a fairy-tale event that far surpassed any expectation. As labeled the ‘Landlord’, Giggs kept the invited guest in euphoria with a night they’ll never forget!
Where do I begin; special guests arrived conveniently at the Victoria Embankment to a waiting ferry that shuttled them to the British Old Royal Navy College in London where they were golf carted to the royal entrance. The green carpet awaited as guests were greeted with live interviews from BET UK, GRM Daily, LinkUp TV and other prestigious press. From there the guests were greeted by a doorman who escorted them through a cabinet Narnia style door leading to a winter wonderland themed atrium. After a brief meet and greet, an announcement was made for guests to report upstairs for the event.
As the night was still young, the celebration was still young. The who’s of the British entertainment industry was definitely present. The guest list included A-list celebrities from influential creatives, musicians, and inspirational people from all sectors of the genre which included Swizz Beatz, ML, Krept & Konan, Vas Blackwood, Maino, Chet Lo, Big Narstie, JME, Harry Pinero, K Trap, Ade Adepitan, Snoochie Shy, Wretch 32 Top, Big Shaq, Lethal Bizzle, Suspect OTB, Buck, Strandz, Ghetts, Pa Salieu, Fee Gonzalez, Young Steflon, Tiny boost, Post Daily, Rapman, D-Teck, Tion Wayne, Katy B and well known British actors and actresses were in attendance. Talking about star studded, the guest list also included BBC 1xtra’s Seanie B, Giggs tour DJ Shaun Sky, and DJ Larni who Djayed kept the crowd entertained all night. Adidas showed up with Santa Clause rocking the new red and white trainers and also showered guests with gifts from Adidas.

Giggs, regarded as the king of the opulent, really went all out this Giggsmas. The entire night was amazingly filled with elegance from the decor to the ‘Beauty and The Beast’ theme that ran throughout the halls and galley’s. The evening was truly a celebration of excellence and accomplishment for friends and family of Giggs to signify the achievements and support for their community. Giggs commitment to British culture, is signified through Giggsmas and his support of the creatives and culture of Britain.
As with any event of royal proportion, guests were delighted to have a succulent feast fit for a King. The Giggsmas dinner party guests were treated to great Caribbean style dishes which included Jerk Chicken, Curried Goat, Brown Stewed Chicken, a Seafood Boil w/ Lobster Tail, New Zealand Half Shelled Mussels, garlic potatoes, etc. The menu was incredible, along with a pizazz to tantalize the most exquisite palate. For dessert, all of the pastries were topped with the Oatly Custard by Giggs.
From dancing the night away to mingling, the night was an epic show of transcendence that rained throughout with glasses filled with champagne and Au Vodka. Guests brought toys and treats which were donated to KidsOut (children’s charity providing positive experiences and creating happy memories for the UK’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children).
What a joyous event! Every year Giggsmas grows even better! To top the elegant night, the encore was an impromptu performance of ‘Nothing Like This’ performed by Omar while world famous magician Dynamo demonstrated unbelievable tricks and illusions. The ‘Landlord’ yes indeed; Giggs is a genius. Who said something about Christmas? We’re looking forward to Giggsmas 2025~ Renzo
