The festive season is fast approaching and the perfect time to bring friends, family, and colleagues together for an unforgettable celebration. A Christmas party isn’t just about gathering—it’s about creating lasting memories with great food, festive décor, and impeccable service. At Green Fig Catering Company, we know exactly how to make your festive event stand out. Whether you’re hosting an intimate family dinner or a corporate bash, here’s how to create a Christmas party that will leave your guests talking long after the last snowflake falls.
Start with a Festive Theme
A cohesive theme sets the tone for any memorable Christmas party. Whether you’re going for a traditional festive feel or something a little more unique, choosing a theme will make your event feel polished and well-planned. A few ideas could be things like a classic Christmas, think reds, greens, and golds with timeless holiday decorations, traditional foods, and festive tunes. Or perhaps something frosty like Winter Wonderland. Go for white, silver, and icy blue décor, with sparkling lights, snowflakes, and wintry cocktails. If your home or venue gives off a very cosy atmosphere, then a rustic vibe would work perfectly. Wooden accents, plaid table settings, and comfort foods like roasted meats and hearty stews. You could even try something new that will give your guests that wow factor with a Christmas Around the World theme! Celebrate with international dishes and decorations that highlight holiday traditions from different cultures.
Design a Mouth-Watering Christmas Menu
No party is complete without delicious food, and this is where we truly shine! Creating a menu that delights every guest is key to a successful event. Whether you’re planning a sit-down meal, buffet, or cocktail party, the food should reflect the warmth and joy of the season. Here’s how we approach it:
- Appetisers and Canapés: Welcome guests with bite-sized delights like mini Yorkshire puddings with roast beef, brie and cranberry tartlets, or smoked salmon blinis. These small bites pack big holiday flavours and set the tone for the evening.
- Main Course Options: Whether it’s a traditional Christmas dinner with turkey, stuffing, and roasted vegetables or something more contemporary like a glazed ham or vegetarian/beef Wellington, our chefs at Green Fig Catering Company focus on creating seasonal dishes that wow your guests.
- Desserts with a Festive Twist: End the meal with indulgent holiday sweet treats. Think sticky toffee pudding, Christmas spiced cupcakes, or our signature chocolate yule log.
- Seasonal Beverages: From mulled wine and spiced cider to custom Christmas-themed cocktails, the drinks should be as festive as the food. And the best bit is you can do this bit yourself – so there are no corkage charges from us!
Festive Décor to Set the Scene
Décor plays a huge role in setting the ambience of your Christmas party. Whether you’re transforming a venue or your own home, creating the right atmosphere is crucial for an unforgettable experience. Lighting creates all kinds of different atmospheres. Soft, twinkling lights are perfect for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Fairy lights, candles, and lanterns can all enhance the festive vibe. Christmas is all about being magical and things like centrepieces can add that extra sprinkle of magic to a table setting. Whether it’s a fresh pine garland with berries and ornaments, or elegant floral arrangements with a holiday twist, the table décor will set the scene for a beautiful meal. Don’t forget the little details that make your party unique! From personalised place cards to festive napkins and customized drink menus, these thoughtful touches show your guests that no detail has been overlooked.
At Green Fig Catering Company, we work closely with our clients to coordinate the décor and ensure it aligns with the food presentation, creating a seamless and beautiful holiday setting.
