Essentials for a Christmas Dinner Location
The restaurants open on Christmas might disappoint you if you want tailored services because the December holiday is the busiest season. Giggster can help you find other places to eat with family and friends; here are the key elements to consider when searching for Christmas dinner venues.
Choose an easily accessible location. Whether you're hosting the party at a private villa, a speakeasy bar, or an inviting banquet hall, rule number one is easy access. Book a venue close to public transport that can be reached quickly and easily.
Use festive decorations. Some venues have a minimalistic approach, while others go over the top. Unless you rent a private home with free rein to decorate, discuss what is allowed to add a personal touch to the decor.
Serve delicious food. Are you getting catering services or cooking? A restaurant is the most convenient location to host a Christmas dinner but you may want to host a catered affair in a cozy home venue. Whether you want an a la carte menu or a buffet, discuss your options with a chef to ensure everyone gets what they like.
Planning a Christmas Dinner Gathering
Preparation will help you stay ahead of everything rather than spending time looking for restaurants open on Christmas. That's where Giggster comes in; explore the Christmas dinner settings to find and book the best space. Once you decide on a Christmas dinner venue, your goal is to plan a memorable la carte dinner, and these ideas can help.
Book the Perfect Space – The venue can make or break a party, so being extra picky might be handy this time. Search and book carefully curated listings on the Giggster app, and you are guaranteed an unforgettable Christmas Eve. Visit in person to check if it meets your requirements.
Decorate the Holiday Location – Whether you're throwing a Christmas partying homely location, the new hotspot restaurant in town, or a cocktail bar, you must dress it for the occasion. From festive lighting to centerpieces, a Christmas tree, and ornaments, you have a selection to turn a plain space into a breathtaking one.
Creative Festive Feast – Perhaps you want to spend Christmas Day grilling and griddling, making everyone feel like they have the best table at the International House of Pancakes. Or is seafood your preferred menu item? You can't go wrong with serving a traditional Christmas meal with roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
Plan Fun Interactive Games – Are you a family that loves good Christmas trivia? Throw in some fun Christmas games that both adults and kids will love. Think Christmas Guess Who, Christmas Scavenger Hunt, Gingerbread House Competition, and don't forget Secret Santa. Fun, prizes, and gifts for everyone!
Christmas Dinner Hidden Costs
The Christmas budget can be easily spent in seconds between Christmas gifts, festive decor, food, Christmas trees, and parties. With careful planning, you will know exactly where to cut corners and where to splurge.
What food do you want to serve?
Food can be expensive if you invite a large group. Check the catering menus for deals and specials to reduce costs, or shop for discounted food or items with coupons if you plan to cook. Book your reservation in early December to cut down expenses even more.
Will you need equipment?
Music and dancing punctuate a good Christmas dinner party, and you want to ensure the venue has a good-quality sound system. Visiting in person helps you check what the location has and rent the equipment they don't have.
How about entertainment?
Are you planning on hiring a DJ for your Christmas party? While you may have a blast, expect to spend a good chunk of your Christmas budget, too. Live music bands and DJ prices vary depending on hours, equipment, and experience. Stick to a playlist or the restaurant's background music if you are on a tight budget.
