Themed Christmas catering ideas for an extraordinary Xmas party
Every Christmas party deserves its own unique flair, and what better way to achieve this than with a curated themed catering concept? Feast your eyes on these corporate Christmas party suggestions:
- Aussie Christmas BBQ: Embrace the warmth of an Australian Christmas by grilling outdoors. Celebrate with a smorgasbord of grilled delights, from the succulent prawns synonymous with an Aussie Christmas to gourmet sausages sizzling to perfection. Complement these with fresh summer salads, tangy relishes, and perhaps a cold beer or two.
- Elegant cocktail affair: Transport your guests to an upscale, sophisticated soirée. Crafted cocktails, poured to perfection, set the scene, paired with bite-sized gourmet morsels. Think smoked salmon blinis, mini beef Wellingtons, or even truffled mushroom arancini.
- Traditional festive roasts: Nostalgia can be the most potent ingredient in any meal. With a theme centered around traditional festive roasts, transport your team back to their fondest Christmas memories. Succulent roasts can be paired with all the classic trimmings and rounded off with traditional desserts like Christmas pudding or mince pies.
- Around the World Christmas: Sample the rich and hearty flavours of a European winter with dishes like German stollen or French bûche de Noël. Venture further to embrace the spicy warmth of a Caribbean Christmas or the intricate flavours of an Asian festive feast.
