With hundreds of Christmas events in Paramatta, Sydney CBD and beyond, planning your festive party has never been easier. Here are some drool-worthy ideas to get you inspired.
Sizzle up a storm with a BBQ cooking class
Whether you’re sizzling up a steak or tossing another “shrimp on the barbie” you’ll love learning to master the grill in these Sydney workshops. (Yes, we know – nobody calls them shrimp) Hosted at the top cooking schools in the city, a BBQ cooking class is the perfect way to celebrate with your team. The BBQ places an important part in most Aussie Christmas celebrations, which makes these classes guaranteed crowd pleasers. Your team will love learning how to prepare delicious, melt-in-your-mouth meat alongside a professional chef.
Looking for something a little different? If anyone knows how to grill, it’s the Americans. Give your Christmas party a Northern Hemisphere twist with a hands-on American smoking BBQ cooking class. Your team will learn how to make restaurant-worthy beef brisket and smoked baby back ribs, complete with American-inspired sides like bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers, apple bourbon BBQ sauce and butter-dipped corn. (No wonder this class is one of the most popular Christmas activities Sydney has ever seen!)
Leslie Meier did the class in December last year and says... "Chef Paul was a fantastic instructor! He explained the different processes thoroughly and was always open to questions. The content was great, access to recipes was very convenient, he encouraged us to take photos of different steps of the meals, and explained the different tools and spices used. The food was delicious and there is no better way to learn than through example – the best one I've seen was explaining the cuts from brisket, and then tasting them to SEE how they differed under the same cooking time/heat/conditions. I would absolutely love to take more classes through the school!"

Satisfy your sweet tooth with a baking class
Who says Christmas lunch has to be a savoury affair? With our Christmas baking classes, you can treat your whole team to mouth-watering treats made from scratch. If you’re on the search for Christmas activities in Sydney that don’t involve alcohol, you’ll love wholesome cupcake decorating workshops. Led by professional bakers, you’ll get the scoop on how to make colourful poinsettias, Christmas trees and adorable snowmen. You’ll leave with six sumptuous cupcakes to enjoy at home or give away to family and friends.
Cake decorating classes are always a hit because they encourage everyone to set their creative streak free. It’s always interesting seeing what different team members create! Give your Christmas party a competitive edge and offer a prize for the most beautiful or creative cake. All baking classes are hands-on, which means you can expect to learn lots of new tips and tricks along the way. And of course, have loads of fun.
Looking for family-friendly work Christmas party ideas? These Sydney workshops are suitable for all ages, so why not ask your co-workers to bring along the kids? After all, Christmas is all about spending time with your nearest and dearest. Inviting along family members is a great chance to get to know your co-workers on a whole new level.
Celebrate like the Italians with a cannoli and pasta masterclass
Tired of the usual Christmas pavlova? Bring your team together for an afternoon of Italian-inspired cooking. Hosted by one of the top cooking schools in Sydney, you’ll learn to make authentic Italian fettuccine and sugar-dusted cannoli from scratch. This Christmas cooking workshop is one of the best fun things to do in Sydney for teams and is guaranteed to delight vegetarians and carnivores alike. Under the watchful eye of a local chef, you’ll learn to sharpen your culinary skills and create artisan pasta worthy of Guy Grossi.
Would an Italian-themed Christmas party be complete without free-flowing Prosecco? We think not. Add a bottomless drinks package and treat your team to two hours of house wines, draft beer and of course, Prosecco. At the end of most Sydney workshops, you’ll sit down for a shared meal with your work crew. It’s a great chance to try each other’s creations, chat about holiday plans and share a Christmas toast.
This class is hosted in Circular Quay, making it easy to access. If you’ve got team members coming from suburbs like Parramatta and Marrickville, you’ll love the central location of these Sydney workshops. If two hours of bottomless Prosecco isn’t enough, why not continue the party at a wine bar in Surry Hills or let your hair down in buzzing Potts Point? And if family-friendly fun is what you’re after, head to a nearby park for Christmas games.
