Looking for Christmas party trends to make this year’s do an event to remember? Forget the typical dull decorations and lacklustre meals. Because it’s all about creativity, fun, and quirkiness to add sparkle to your festive fiesta in 2024.

Let’s beat the holiday hustle and bustle with some of the hottest (or should we say coolest) Christmas party trends, ensuring everyone will be talking about the company celebrations well into the New Year!

Transform Regular Cocktails into Christmas Party Trends with a Twist 

Think beyond the standard eggnog and mulled wine (even though we love them dearly!). And take a look at the following options instead:

  • Spiced fig or Christmas Pudding espresso martinis served in Bond worthy 10oz Martini glasses (FYI These versatile glasses are also perfect for desserts if you opt for longer cocktails
  • Warming pomegranate punch ladled into assorted vintage wavy tea cups  and champagne saucers for a shabby chic look
  • Wine tasting station for the non-cocktail crowd, with festive reds, whites, and sparkling wines to keep the spirits high
  • Boozy hot chocolate lovingly served in handled latte glasses

Pro tip! Leading UK event management company Julia Charles Event Management advises: “You should also consider creating a Christmas mocktail list! As going sober becomes more popular, it’s trendy to be inclusive. From gingerbread concoctions to cranberry delights, even the drinkers will be jealous!”

Tantalise Their Tastebuds with Triumphant Themed Buffets 

Who says festive food has to be traditional? This is why themed buffets rank highly among this year’s it-list Christmas party trends.

A ‘Christmas Around the World’ buffet is a prime case in point, with Noel-ready nibbles showcasing festive dishes from different cultures. Better still, it’s a walk in a winter wonderland to keep food hot and serve it up with electric chafing dish sets and 10-litre soup kettles.

Here’s the thing. Themed buffets add a fun, interactive element, for sure. But they also make it child’s play to cater to diverse tastes and dietary needs.

Sweeten the Soiree with Seasonal Dessert Stations

 Desserts are always a highlight. And this year, dessert stations are making their way down Santa Claus Lane to spread Christmas cheer.

So, handpick your puds for the holidays, with options like:

  • A gingerbread decorating station
  • A brownie bar
  • An assortment of festive treats like mini mince pies, panettone pieces, snowflake cookies and stollen slices piled high on snowy white Simplicity rectangular plates. Or add a splash of colour to your tables, with stunning red rustic plates.

Jingle Their Bells with Live Music 

Live performances are at the forefront of this year’s Christmas party trends, whether you’re on the market for Christmas carol singers, a gospel choir, or a ‘bandeoke’ experience to make your event merry and bright.

Alternatively, have you ever thought about a silent disco for a change, where guests can dance to their own beat with headphones?

Whatever you choose, make sure there’s a dance floor ready to go, and a playlist mixing party classics with today’s tunes.
