The best corporate Christmas parties aren’t thrown together in December; they’re planned & booked now. We know you don’t need us to tell you how important the work Christmas party is to your team members – but the food and drink? Yeah, we’d say that’s pretty important.
By October, Brisbane’s most popular venues are getting busy. Catering menus are almost full and the “silly season scramble” has begun. The businesses who start planning early? They’re the ones securing the dates, menus and magic that make end-of-year events unforgettable.
Why Book Your Christmas Party Early this Festive Season?
When you lock in your staff Christmas party early, you don’t just get ahead of the calendar; you get the best of everything:
- Priority access to premium venues → Secure spaces that fit your team size, budget and vision before they book out.
- First pick of our 2025 festive catering menus → From shared feasts and canapé stations to breakfast bars and cocktail packages.
- Time to plan gifts, styling and entertainment → A stress-free window to add the extras that make your event feel special.
- Peace of mind as the season kicks in → No frantic last-minute calls or compromises when demand spikes in December.
Every year, we see the same pattern: the early planners are sipping champagne while the late planners are scrambling for waitlists.
Christmas Party Catering Styles for Every Team
No two end-of-year celebrations look the same and your catering shouldn’t either. Our festive menus flex to suit every style of event:
- In-office Christmas parties → Full styling, canapés and bar service brought straight to your space. Think styled grazing tables, live chef stations or morning tea with a side of secret santa.
- Offsite functions → Shared dining feasts, cocktail receptions or long-table dinners at one of Brisbane’s best venues. Perfect for bigger teams or client-facing events that deserve extra impact.
- Morning teas, brunches or lunches → A lighter (but no less festive) way to celebrate with your team. From Christmas pastries to champagne brunches, these formats are trending for teams wanting something different.
Don’t Forget the Hampers
Each year, our Christmas Hampers are one of the most-loved ways clients celebrate the season. Launching in October for December delivery or collection, our hampers are packed with Christmas favourites the whole team will enjoy!
If you need something simple or can’t organise a large event, our Express Christmas Hampers are a great option. They make it easy to provide a delicious Christmas lunch for the entire office. Keep an eye on our website for this year’s collection, launching soon…👀 👀 👀
Here’s a little teaser → Think; fresh bread rolls, rich glazed ham, smoked chicken, seasonal salads and a much needed sweet treat.
What About Last-Minute Bookings?
We get it, sometimes life (and business) gets in the way and Christmas party planning drops down the list. The good news? With our network of venue partners across Brisbane, we can often help find a space even if you’ve left it late!
From riverside heritage venues to modern rooftops, our team knows which Brisbane Christmas party venues may still have availability. Being early is always better, but it’s never too late to reach out. See our partner venues and find your dream EOY celebration event space.
Top 3 Things to Lock In Before November
To achieve a stress-free run into December requires, you’ll need to nail these three major things early:
Venue → Spaces across Brisbane fill first. Locking this in sets the foundation for everything else.
Menu → Decide if shared dining, cocktails, breakfast or an in-office celebration is the best option for you.
Styling & Extras → Entertainment, gifts, and theming take time to organise. Having a plan early makes it seamless.
