Planning your long weekend itinerary with little ones? Hop into inspiration with our ultimate guide to Easter in Hong Kong.
Spring has sprung, and the time has come for our inboxes to be flooded with newsletters cracking egg puns left and right. (Forgive me as I join the ranks of these pun enthusiasts because I, too, cannot resist an egg-cellent pun or two, ahem.) We’re blessed with multiple public holidays in Hong Kong this month, from Ching Ming Festival to Easter. While some of you may be jetting off on short getaways, staying in town isn’t so bad either – think cherry blossoms in full blush, the fresh, petrichor scent of spring showers and, of course, chocolate eggs galore. Whether you’re after egg hunts, brunch feasts, or just a sweet escape with the family, here’s your golden ticket to a hoppy Easter in Hong Kong!
Your 2025 Easter in Hong Kong, sorted
1. Where to eat
Skip the kitchen stress over the long weekend. Restaurants and hotels are rolling out lavish brunches, family-friendly buffets, an themed afternoon teas that go beyond Easter eggs (though yes, those too). Make sure to book your feast now – the best tables sell out quicker than hot cross buns on Easter morning!

2. Hot cross buns
On the topic of hot cross buns (one a penny, two a penny), let me pose the ultimate Easter debate: classic fruit VS contemporary twists? We’ve scouted, scrutinised, and shortlisted this year’s hottest contenders: Bakehouse’s cinnamon-citrus hybrid, a chocolate crowd-pleaser from a cult Happy Valley bakery, a cardamom-infused variant that’s shockingly good, and more.
This way to your easy checklist of Hong Kong’s best hot cross buns.
3. What to do
There are more than a handful of egg hunts on our list – but they’re just the start. Think creative classes where little ones can craft mini eggs with paper mache, while thrill-seekers can glamp in nature, with spring discounts to sweeten the deal. Prefer to save your coins for chocolate? Our free things to do with kids in Hong Kong are the answer to your prayers.

4. Spring camps
Kids bouncing off the walls this Easter? Don’t stash those school supplies just yet. Spring camps are ready to harness the energy and chaos, with theatre improv, jungle adventures, Easter cookie-decorating workshops, and beyond. They’ll come home happily exhausted, and you’ll get that coffee break.
It’s not too late to sign your little ones to spring camps in Hong Kong (and why not get a head start on summer?)!
5. What to gift
Supermarket chocolate bunnies are cute and all, but this year’s Easter gifts include artisan-produced eggs and even Easter-themed pet toys (because how can we leave out our furry family members?). As for the kids? I’ve spotted mini chocolate eggs that’ll fit perfectly in chubby fists. :3
