Fatafeat has begun celebrations for its 20th anniversary with a special Ramadan programming slate across television and digital platforms.
The region’s leading food and lifestyle channel will mark two decades on air throughout 2026 with nostalgic programmes, new content, and anniversary-themed on-air design elements. The milestone year officially kicks off during the holy month of Ramadan, blending the channel’s 20th anniversary visuals with Ramadan-inspired creative across platforms.
During Ramadan, viewers can expect the return of familiar chefs, themed menus, classic shows and new productions designed to celebrate the channel’s culinary legacy. The anniversary festivities will extend beyond television to Fatafeat’s digital platforms, which will feature exclusive Ramadan content, recipes and behind-the-scenes material.
Grigory Lavrov, VP, Marketing, Local Brands & Franchise Management, CEE & MENAT at Warner Bros. Discovery, said: “For 20 years, Fatafeat has been more than a cooking channel, it has been a trusted presence in homes across the Arab world, celebrating culture, family, and the joy of sharing a meal. This year-long celebration reflects our commitment to honoring Fatafeat’s rich legacy while continuing to innovate with content that connects deeply with our audience. There is no better moment to launch this milestone than during Ramadan, bringing a nostalgic flavour to the season. 2026 will be filled with unforgettable moments, so audiences can look forward to many more exciting highlights throughout the year.”
