What can I make for the office Christmas party?

Plan Ahead for a Stress-Free Contribution

When choosing your dish, think about what travels well and doesnโ€™t require much assembly on-site. Prepare as much as you can ahead of time to reduce last-minute stress, so youโ€™re ready to make something for the office Christmas party without hassle.

Donโ€™t Just Bring Foodโ€”Bring an Experience

Part of the fun of holiday gatherings is the opportunity to create moments that stand out. Consider decorating your dish to match the seasonโ€”think snowflake designs on cookies or red and green garnishes, like sprigs of rosemary or cranberries, for color on savory dishes (this collection is all savory dishes). Pair your dish with complementary sauces or sides to make it stand out. This is your chance to fill plates and create moments of joy and connection through food, making your contribution unforgettable for the office Christmas party.

Pro Tip: Bring serving utensils and labels to make it easy for everyone to know whatโ€™s in each dish.

This Christmas, go beyond just bringing foodโ€”bring something memorable that shows your creativity and holiday spirit. With these ideas, youโ€™ll leave your coworkers craving more and eagerly awaiting what youโ€™ll make for the office Christmas party next time!
