How to Wow Your Team with an Unforgettable Holiday Feast

The holiday season is the perfect time to show appreciation for your team and clients, and nothing says “thank you” like a thoughtfully planned holiday feast. The right menu can transform your corporate event from a standard gathering into an unforgettable experience that inspires and satisfies. Whether you're planning a formal black-tie gala or a cozy, relaxed celebration, follow these tips to ensure your holiday party is the highlight of the season.

1. Focus on Festive Flavours

Holiday menus are all about seasonal ingredients and comforting flavours. Incorporate local, fresh, and sustainable ingredients that reflect the season's bounty. Think about rich, warming dishes that bring a sense of indulgence, from roasted meats to seasonal vegetables, complemented by vibrant sides that highlight the freshness of BC’s produce, like our holiday menus.

2. Offer a Variety of Options

To cater to all tastes and dietary needs, offering a diverse range of dishes is essential. Make sure to include options for guests with dietary restrictions—such as gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan choices—while still offering traditional holiday classics. A well-rounded menu with something for everyone ensures that no one feels left out and everyone leaves satisfied.?

3. Include Interactive Elements

A live chef station can add an experiential touch to your holiday event. Guests can engage with the chefs, customize their meals, and enjoy watching their dishes being prepared in front of them. This interactive and fun experience adds excitement to the event and makes the food feel more personalized and special.?

4. Don’t Forget the Dessert!

No holiday feast is complete without a sweet ending. From classic pies and cakes to decadent gourmet dessert canapés, ensure your dessert table is as exciting as the main courses. Choose a variety of flavours—sweet, tart, creamy, and fresh—so every guest finds something they love. Our in-house pastry team can help you.?

5. Pair with the Perfect Drinks

Holiday feasts are even better with the right drink pairings. To complement your menu, offer a curated selection of wines, festive cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. Craft punches and mulled drinks are especially popular during the holidays and can add a warm, cozy touch to your event. Explore our bar services and get inspired.

6. Create a Comfortable Atmosphere

While the food will undoubtedly be the star, don’t overlook the importance of ambiance. Consider how the décor, lighting, and music create a festive and relaxed setting. From elegant centrepieces to twinkling lights, a welcoming atmosphere makes the feast all the more enjoyable. Need help? Open our little black book of vendors.
