Savvy corporate event organisers are discovering how the after Christmas party brings fresh energy to the new year, in January, February, or even March. In fact, these ingenious events are a double bubble, ditching the December chaos and giving you chance to reconnect meaningfully with your squad.
At Co-Ordination Events, we’ve seen a growing trend for the after Christmas party. And we’re loving the creativity and flexibility it brings. There’s a theme to suit every team, whether you’re looking to glam things up, keep the winter vibes alive, or throw a relaxed get-together.
And here are some of our tried-and-tested favourites to inspire your next post-festive celebrations.
-
Glamorous Gala
A timeless black-tie ball is the perfect antidote to the January blues. So, get swapping tired Christmas crackers for sparkling champagne flutes and twinkling candlelight in a plush setting. Add a dance band and casino tables. C’est voila!
Event Essentials
- Traditional white Bianca China for formal seated dining, from small side plates for bread rolls to large dinner plates fit for feasting
- Elegant furniture, including beautiful Cordelia Grace chairs with a four-layer, hand-painted pearlescent finish
- Glittering Perception glassware for the all-important toasts
-
Winter Wonderland After Christmas Party
The magic of winter doesn’t have to end just because Christmas is over. Keep it alive and kicking by transforming your venue into a snowy wonderland with glinting fairy lights, frosted table settings, and a hot drinks station serving spiced cider and marshmallow-topped boozy hot chocolate.
Event Essentials
- Palest rose pink glass charger plates and matching Signature napkins for a sugar-coated, delicate look
- Fridge trailers keep drinks perfectly chilled at both indoor and outdoor sites
- A mix of stunning rose pink swirl glasses , exquisite champagne saucers and other suitable glassware for mulled wine, cocktails, and hot drinks

Après Ski Adventure
Bring the charm of an Alpine ski lodge to your after Christmas party. Think roaring fires, hearty platters, faux snow, and a hot toddy bar. Then, add some live music and a DJ to really get the off-piste action started.
Event Essentials
- Rustic tables and benches for a chalet-style vibe
- Gas cooking equipment such as barbeques, ovens, paella cookers and table top burners for cooking up raclette and fondue
- Scene-setting themed décor

Festival-Inspired Street Food Market
Who needs a sit-down dinner when you can have an interactive, food-focused celebration? Bring in street food stalls and casual seating for a relaxed vibe. This option is perfect for diverse, people-oriented teams who love variety and a more laid-back atmosphere.

- Colourful linens to brighten up the space
- Cutlery and crockery to suit any menu, from burgers to bao buns

Retro-Themed After Christmas Party
Travel back in time. A retro after Christmas party is a guaranteed hit, whether you decide to channel the roaring ’20s, groovy ’70s, or neon ’80s. Encourage costumes, get into the spirit with themed foods (cheese and pineapple on a stick, anybody?), and let the good times roll.
Event Essentials
- Glassware for themed cocktails (hello, Martinis and Margaritas!)
- Fun and funky furniture to match your theme
- Checkerboard black and white dancefloor for period-appropriate partying
