Fatafeat celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026. The food and lifestyle channel is marking this milestone throughout the year. Viewers can watch nostalgic programmes that shaped the channel’s journey, alongside new content and special on-air design elements created for its 20th anniversary, honouring two decades of flavour, creativity and passion.
The anniversary kicks off during Ramadan, making the 2026 season meaningful for Fatafeat and its audience. This timing creates a Ramadan filled with storytelling, cherished traditions and cooking. Throughout Ramadan, the channel’s 20th anniversary visuals will blend with a Ramadan-inspired design, while the celebration extends beyond television as Fatafeat’s digital platforms feature exclusive Ramadan content.
This season, viewers can watch beloved chefs from the past on Kitchen Tales: Ramadan, explore themed Ramadan meals with Chef Manal Al Alem, try cooking with guidance from digital recipes and tips, and enjoy the return of classic programmes throughout the month.
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.”
