Après-Ski Themed Christmas Party

Transform your office into a winter wonderland with an après-ski themed Christmas party. Instead of hitting the slopes, bring the alpine experience indoors. Picture cosy setups with hearty dishes like Tartiflette, raclette, bratwurst, and comforting winter favourites such as grilled cheese sandwiches and truffle mac & cheese. Enhance the ambience with the irresistible aroma of mulled wine, ensuring your team enjoys a festive and immersive experience without leaving the office.

A Very International Christmas

Celebrate diversity and delight palates with an international culinary journey right in your office. Utilise Togather’s versatile catering options to explore cuisines from around the globe. Whether it’s the vibrant flavours of Ethiopian cuisine from Delina, authentic Vietnamese delights by Lo Viet, or Filipino BBQ from BBQ Dreamz, your team can savour a multicultural feast. 

In-Office Festive Movie Night

Ideal for smaller teams or startups seeking a cosy yet festive gathering, an in-office movie night adds a nostalgic touch to your Christmas celebration. Set up a projector and screen classic Christmas movies while indulging in delectable grazing boards or handheld snack boxes. Cater to diverse tastes with options ranging from dessert-based treats to charcuterie and vegan selections, enhancing the event’s Instagram appeal. Elevate the experience with a customizable hot chocolate cart from Minibean, offering indulgent toppings like Flakes, Biscoff, wafers, and giant marshmallows for the ultimate winter treat.

Create Your Own Christmas Market

If space permits, transform your office environment into a charming Christmas market. Utilise outdoor areas like car parks or roof terraces to host multiple street food setups, allowing guests to curate their dining experience. Togather’s flexible suppliers can adapt to unconventional settings, ensuring a seamless and festive market atmosphere. Offer a variety of culinary delights and let guests mingle and explore, creating a memorable and interactive holiday gathering.

Street Food Collective

Transform your office Christmas market with a vibrant array of street food options. Imagine your guests indulging in gourmet burgers crafted from locally sourced ingredients, savoury artisanal tacos with handmade tortillas, or flavorful dishes from around the world. Whether it’s Mediterranean wraps, Asian stir-fries, or classic American hot dogs, offering a diverse menu ensures there's something to satisfy every palate. This culinary variety enhances the festive ambience of your event, creating a memorable experience for all

Sweet Delights 

No movie night or pop-up event is complete without a tempting selection of desserts. Picture your team enjoying bespoke branded  cookies, decadent chocolate cakes,  and a variety of themed treats that add a touch of sweetness to your Christmas celebrations. Whether catering to a sweet tooth or aiming to impress with visually appealing desserts, these treats enhance the festive spirit of your event.

Global Bites

Elevate your international Christmas party with a diverse array of global flavours, where culinary influences from around the world harmoniously come together. Explore a menu featuring Korean BBQ sliders bursting with savoury and spicy flavours reminiscent of Seoul, Moroccan tagines slow-cooked with aromatic spices and tender meat that embody North African cuisine, and Spanish tapas showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Spain. Embark on a global culinary journey right in your office, ensuring your Christmas party is an unforgettable cultural experience.

Premium Beverages

For those looking to enhance their après-ski themed party with premium beverages, consider a curated selection of wines, craft beers, and artisanal spirits. Offer fine wines sourced from renowned vineyards, carefully chosen to complement the flavours of your winter-themed menu. Serve locally brewed craft beers as a refreshing accompaniment to hearty dishes like raclette and bratwurst. Explore artisanal spirits to elevate your cocktail offerings, ensuring your après-ski party is both stylish and enjoyable. These beverages will add warmth and sophistication to your office Christmas celebration.

Health-Conscious Dining Choices

Cater to health-conscious team members with a variety of organic and vegetarian dishes. Enjoy farm-to-table offerings that highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients, ensuring every bite is nutritious and delicious. Treat your guests to vibrant salads bursting with colour and flavour, featuring locally sourced greens and wholesome dressings. Explore plant-based alternatives that cater to diverse dietary preferences, offering sustainable and satisfying options. Create a menu that supports your team's wellness goals while embracing the festive spirit of your Christmas party.

Festive Celebrations Spread Over Weeks
