How to organise an original company Christmas party: ideas that work

Christmas has that unique ability to pause time — to bring the team together, look back with pride, and toast to everything that’s yet to come. It’s a moment to celebrate shared achievements and reconnect with the true essence of a company: its people. At Vincci Hoteles, we believe that a company Christmas party is an opportunity to strengthen bonds, renew motivation, and look to the future with excitement. That’s why we’ve put together a series of ideas to help you turn your celebration into an experience that inspires and leaves a lasting impression.

8 Original Ideas for Your Company Christmas Party

1. Themed Dinner: “Christmas Around the World”

Imagine an evening where each dish takes you to a different country: Nordic-style marinated salmon, classic American stuffed turkey, or a traditional French dessert. Complement it with regionally inspired table decor and small tasting corners to enjoy specialties from around the globe. A perfect experience for multicultural teams or international companies.

2. Costume Party with Contest and Prize for Best Outfit

Nothing breaks the ice like a healthy dose of humor and creativity. Encourage your team to dress up in Christmas themes — elves, movie characters, walking Christmas trees… anything goes! Pair it with an equally creative menu, featuring fun dish names, playful presentations, and themed drinks. The result: an unforgettable night full of laughter.

3. Corporate Escape Room and Cocktail-Style Dinner

An experience that combines fun, challenge, and gastronomy. Start with a themed escape room within the hotel or at a nearby venue, then wrap up with a relaxed dinner. These experiences are ideal for encouraging teamwork. We recommend a tapas-style menu to share — perfect for discussing the adventure in a laid-back atmosphere.

4. Dinner with Live Show: Music, Magic, or Comedy

A stylish option that never fails. Guests enjoy a set menu while being entertained with live music, magic, or stand-up comedy. Perfect for large groups.

5. Christmas Cooking Workshop and Tasting

Ideal for smaller teams or departments looking for a hands-on and engaging experience. Guided by a professional chef, participants prepare their own Christmas menu and then enjoy the results together — learning and fun all in one.

6. Retro Party (’80s, ’90s...)

Bring back the classics from past decades with music, decor, and themed costumes. The menu can include dishes inspired by the era, reimagined with a modern twist.

7. Corporate Secret Santa

A timeless classic. Organize a Secret Santa exchange among colleagues and pair the gift-giving with a festive and relaxed dinner. The atmosphere fills with laughter and surprises — especially if you add personalized touches or a final raffle. Accompany the evening with a menu designed for sharing and toasting to the end of a successful year together.

8. Immersive Experience (Augmented Reality or Themed Dinners)

Perfect for creative or tech-driven companies. Imagine a dinner where decor, music, flavors, and technology come together to tell a story — from movie-inspired tasting menus to settings enhanced with projections or augmented reality. A dinner that’s not just tasted, but experienced.

Each proposal can be tailored to the style and size of your company. The key lies in striking the right balance between creativity and comfort for your team.

Define Budget, Date, and Format

Before searching for the perfect venue, it’s essential to determine your available budget, the ideal date, and the type of event you want to organize. A formal dinner with entertainment? A relaxed weekday lunch? An evening cocktail for networking? Setting these basics first will make all later decisions easier.

Advantages of Hosting Your Company Dinner at Our Vincci Hoteles

Choosing a Vincci hotel as the setting for your Christmas party means opting for comfort and excellence in service, as our spaces are designed to offer a complete experience. Alongside a carefully curated culinary offering, you’ll find a versatile environment suitable for both intimate gatherings and large groups. The private rooms and restaurants in our hotels provide the perfect backdrop for a Christmas evening with character.



Another major advantage is logistical peace of mind. Instead of worrying about external suppliers, rentals, or transport, you can centralize everything in one place: celebration, dining, and, if desired, accommodation for attendees. Our team will coordinate every step so you can simply enjoy the event.

Design the Group Menu: Keys to Success

A great corporate Christmas menu should take into account the needs of all attendees. It’s essential to consider allergies, intolerances, and vegetarian or vegan options. Themed menus, included drinks, and customization options make a real difference. And if the menu follows a seasonal or locally sourced approach, even better.

You can contact us to request the full menu dossier, ask questions, or arrange a visit to the hotel restaurant where you wish to host your event. We’ll personally advise you to ensure everything reflects the spirit of your company. This Christmas can be much more than just a dinner — get inspired, choose the idea that best fits your team, and create a celebration everyone will remember.
