Dessert Ideas For A Workplace Holiday Party
Posted on: 10 November 2020
There are many different ways that companies celebrate the last day of work before the start of the Christmas holidays. If you're planning a party in the afternoon or evening, it's advantageous to consider hiring a local catering service. You can have the caterer provide appetizers or even a sit-down meal, or you can simply arrange to have it deliver a selection of seasonal desserts—perhaps with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. If you're primarily focused on desserts, sit down with your catering company to discuss some options that your staff will appreciate. Here are some seasonal ideas that will be appropriate for this type of event.
Candy Cane Desserts
You'll want to choose desserts that tie into the holidays, and there are several different options to consider. Candy cane-based desserts can be fun, given the popularity of this type of sweet treat throughout the month of December. Your catering service may be able to prepare a handful of desserts in which the candy cane is the star. Options can include candy cane cheesecake, candy cane bark, brownies with candy cane icing, and candy cane cupcakes. You may even ask for the caterer to provide a selection of loose candy canes—perhaps arranging them stylishly in wine glasses—that people can take with them after the party.
Gingerbread Desserts
Gingerbread is another popular type of dessert around the holidays, so having a few gingerbread options at the event for you and your staff will be appropriate. You may wish to have an actual gingerbread house—not to eat during the party, but to give away in a prize draw to one of your employees. Gingerbread cookies with festive icing, gingerbread pudding, and gingerbread bars can all be dessert options that add a festive feel to your pre-holiday gathering.
Eggnog Desserts
When it comes to holiday beverages, there are few choices that people enjoy more than eggnog. While your caterer can provide eggnog for people to drink, you may be keen on a few eggnog desserts instead. Your caterer may suggest such dishes as eggnog custard served in cocktail glasses, eggnog cheesecake, and squares of eggnog-flavored fudge. Some of these desserts can include other seasonal ingredients—for example, the eggnog custard may have crumbled candy cane pieces sprinkled atop it. Talk to your caterer about these and other holiday-specific dessert ideas that can add a festive feel to your workplace party.
