Choose a Festive Theme
Add some spice to your holiday by incorporating a theme! From winter wonderland to ugly Christmas sweaters, make it fun for your colleagues and encourage creativity. You can include contests like best-dressed or ugliest sweater to encourage everyone to participate. Not only does it get everyone involved, but themes often create conversation, fostering those casual relationships among coworkers. Reflect on the theme with your catered menu. Smokin' Bones offers excellent Christmas dinner catering in Toronto with customizable dishes made with seasonal ingredients to fit perfectly with your holiday theme.
Plan a Diverse Menu
Offices tend to be a very diverse environment, which comes with different lifestyles. Make sure everyone is accounted for with a diverse menu that caters to everyone's dietary needs. Include various proteins and side dishes for both meat lovers and vegetarians/vegans. Alongside that, offer finger foods and a buffet to create a sociable experience for everyone. Buffets are great for allowing guests to customize their own plates and making a casual, less intimidating environment in which to open up to conversation. Pair the food experience with a signature holiday drink. Whether it's a punch bowl or a drink station, include both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options to further enhance the festive atmosphere.
Create a Comfortable Dining Setup
Create comfort for your guests at your holiday party to ensure everyone feels welcomed and ready to enjoy the festivities. Organize seating in a way that guests are able to socialize with one another– whether it's round tables or chairs all around. Choose decorations that fit with your party theme to add to festivities. Disguise your office kitchen into a winter wonderland with tablecloths, string lights, and greenery. Decorations will help separate the party from work-related worries. Buffet-style service is a great way to create a relaxed and fun environment, allowing colleagues to take a break and enjoy themselves. Office catering in Toronto can help make that happen.
Incorporate Fun Activities
Add some fun activities to your holiday party, like photo booths, games and entertainment to make the day unforgettable. A photo booth is a great way to create long-lasting memories of the party, and they can take a souvenir home. Choose Christmas-related games like a white elephant or Secret Santa to encourage employee engagement and turnout. To top it off, create a festive playlist or hire local musicians to play at the event.
Don't Forget About Cleanup
After the fun is over, the cleaning is not so much. Hire extra staff if needed to assist with clean up. Alternatively, coordinate with Smokin' Bones to manage catering service cleanup. Stay organized with a checklist to ensure everything is taken care of after the party.
