Bucharest, 5th December 2025 – The British Romanian Chamber of Commerce (BRCC) gracefully hosted the 2025 edition of its annual Christmas Event, a special “A Christmas Carol” edition that brought a graceful and distinguished touch to the Chamber’s festive tradition.
The celebration took place on 4th December at the InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest and welcomed over 150 guests, including BRCC members, partners and distinguished guests from the public and private sectors. Together, they enjoyed an evening shaped by festive elegance, thoughtful artistic moments and the spirit of community.
