Fall in love with cooking as you learn easy Christmas lunch recipes
Christmas cooking classes are a fantastic way to bring everyone together, learn how to make new healthy recipes, and help build confidence in and out of the kitchen. Christmas lunch comes with a lot of pressure, but it doesn’t need to! Don’t spend weeks popping in and out of the supermarket to get everything ready, or stressing over the perfect menu. Instead, learn from some of the best chefs in Brisbane who’ll help you feel more than confident to nail a Christmas Day feast!
Get started with a rustic Italian cooking class in Tenerife with Vanilla Zulu! Have a chat and enjoy each other’s company as you learn to whip up a tasty focaccia, handmade ravioli, and refreshing panna cotta. Take your skills home to the family and surprise them with your chef-worthy three-course meal that’ll have everyone asking for the recipes! Budding chef, Laura G., had the best time and left feeling fully equipped, even as an inexperienced cook:
“SUCH a good class! I was nervous about it because I'm not the best cook and I've never done a cooking class before, but Adrian was hilarious, and he went around to each table, making sure that nobody got left behind. We all ended up eating a delicious meal at the end. Highly recommend!”
Or do you want to add some sizzle to your alcohol-free Christmas party? Take the celebrations outside with a BBQ cooking class! A great work Christmas party activity in Brisbane to gather round, learn to master an Australian classic, and chat away to your heart's content. Everyone will have the opportunity to master the art of BBQ, from marinating techniques to perfectly grilling your favourite cuts of meat. And best of all, you'll get to share what you cook over a unique team lunch.
Cooking isn’t the only wholesome Christmas party activity in Brisbane! There are also crafts.
Get stuck into Christmas craft workshops
Get ready to immerse yourself in the festive spirit with some exciting Christmas craft workshops in Brisbane. This is the perfect opportunity to gather the team and create lasting memories that you can hang or place around the office, lasting longer than just this holiday season.
To start, why not indulge in a classic Christmas wreath-making class right here in Northgate, Brisbane? Under the guidance of a local craft expert, you’ll discover the fascinating world of mixing and matching seasonal flowers to create a one-of-a-kind Christmas wreath that you won't find anywhere else.
“We had a wonderful afternoon connecting with our artistic side and making a Christmas door wreath. The venue was spacious, and all materials were supplied. The experience was so relaxing and calm, and we learnt how to make a door wreath. I would definitely come back again.” - Lisa N.
Staying on the Xmas decoration theme? A Christmas tree holds so many memories and beautiful moments in your life; this bauble making class will have you adding extra trinkets to hang to commemorate 2026 and another successful work year coming to a close.
If you want to get a little artsy, take the team to get creative making Christmas cards for your loved ones. A well-written Christmas card means more than you know, so imagine telling someone you also tailor-made the art for them, too!
Light up the festive season with DIY candles
Christmas and pretty lights go hand in hand, which is why there is no better time to switch off and tune in with candle-making classes in Brisbane! Having a drink isn’t the only way to unwind—get the team together and help get a start on soothing the stress of the festive season as you each craft your own candle to keep. Mix and match scents like cinnamon and clove and revel in the nostalgic smells of the holidays, and leave your team with a tangible gift that reminds them to switch off, keep calm, and enjoy their break!
Go green this Christmas and play with plants
You might like to try a DIY terrarium making class in Brisbane. Christmas is a hectic time both on the home front and for most workplaces. Take this perfect opportunity for some time out from your busy Christmas schedules and relax while being in the moment. This hands-on class teams up with a local cafe, so when you attend, you’ll not only be supporting local businesses, but you’ll also develop a new appreciation for plants. Bring some bright green to everyone’s life and get into the Christmas spirit!
Get messy with clay instead of Chardonnay
If you’ve not tried the huge trend of pottery wheel throwing classes in Brisbane yet, take the team and get messy without the need for a few glasses of alcohol. There’s no better time to get everyone in touch with their inner child, making Christmas feel hopeful, fun and magical again. Playing with mud tends to do that! Plus, the team will get the satisfaction of their handmade goods a few weeks after class, making for the perfect Christmas pressies.
There are countless work Christmas party activities in Brisbane that’ll help create unforgettable moments with your group, all of which don’t require wine, beer or spirits to get you feeling merry.
