Festive Plateau (79°24′S 157°30′E﻿ / ﻿79.400°S 157.500°E﻿ / -79.400; 157.500) is an ice-covered plateau over 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) high, about 10 nautical miles (20 km) long and 3 nautical miles (6 km) wide, just north of Mount Longhurst in the Churchill Mountains of Antarctica. It was named by two members of the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) who spent Christmas Day 1957 on the plateau.
