Iberia designed a series of special actions to surprise its customers during Christmas, with special details on board to celebrate the holiday period.
The airline will offer nougat and marzipan to its customers on all flights. In addition, on long-haul flights, a special menu has been prepared for customers traveling in the Business cabin, with a Christmas meal that includes roast turkey breast and braised thigh with Christmas stuffing on a cranberry demi-glace. Along with this main course, the dessert offered in the Business cabin will be a chocolate and caramelized pineapple semi-sphere, while in Premium Economy and Economy passengers will be served a chocolate mousse with Christmas spice crumble.
On medium-haul flights, Business passengers will enjoy a creamy vanilla cake with a raspberry jelly layer on a spiced gingerbread base.
Additionally, to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, customers travelling from Latin America to Madrid on 31 December will be offered grapes and cava to toast 2024.
Roscón de Reyes with A Big Surprise
On 6 January, on the occasion of the Three Kings' Day holiday, Iberia will distribute the traditional Three Kings' roscón with 230,000 Avios hidden inside, which will be distributed on long-haul flights taking off from Madrid and in the Business cabins of the rest of the flights. There will be a special prize of 100,000 Avios, a second prize of 50,000 and 80 prizes of 1,000 Avios.

This is not the only surprise prepared by the airline for the Three Kings’ holiday: for the fourth consecutive year, Iberia offers a video call with the Three Wise Men, so that children can meet them and talk with them.
Anyone who wishes to contact the Three Wise Men must simply visit www.reyesmagos.iberia.com from any mobile device between 25 December and 5 January.
The video call to the Three Wise Men has become a Christmas tradition in which Their Majesties speak to all children, and also those who are not so young, greeting them by name, talking to them about their hobbies, and encouraging them to stick to their New Year’s resolutions.
