Shake and muddle delicious Christmas cocktails

Who doesn't love a boozy Christmas? In our lip-smacking cocktail classes, you'll muddle a myriad of Christmas cocktails like hot buttered rum, fruity vodka punch and creamy eggnog. As you shake the night away, you'll pick up fancy mixology skills that you can use to impress at your next festive party.

It’s not hard to see why cocktail classes are one of the most popular Christmas things to do in Melbourne in 2025. They're a fun alternative to the usual Christmas party ideas and allow you to enjoy some of the city's coolest bars and venues to practise. Alongside traditional recipes, you'll have ample time to trailblaze and experiment with new recipes. Why not dedicate a signature cocktail to your best pal or significant other?

Perhaps, you're trying to plan a party for drinkers and non-drinkers? Choose the best of both worlds in a paint and sip workshop. Most paint and sip classes are BYO - so wine aficionados can bring their favourite tipple, while mocktail-lovers can get creative without the post-class hangover. While they're often called "wine and paint nights", these classes aren't focused on drinking  – instead, they’re all about bonding and having fun, making them accessible team bonding activities. 

Of course, we have cocktail kits for stay-at-home merrymakers. We'll send you a box of premium mixers, spirits and garnishes so you can create Christmas cocktails from the comfort of your kitchen. The best part? You won't have to ditch your slippers for stilettos! Feeling hungry? Check out the top Melbourne Christmas activities for foodies

Pizza making classes

Although drinking is great fun, it's not so rewarding the morning after! If you'd prefer to wake up feeling fresh, peruse our healthier alternatives to Christmas cocktails and cooking classes.

Everything you learn in these Melbourne workshops will motivate you to make better decisions moving forward. Your teacher will encourage you in a safe and friendly setting, revealing valuable tools to enhance your wellbeing. You’ll leave feeling empowered, carrying a box of guilt-free goodies to share with your hungry companions.

Level up your festive buffet

Cooking classes are romantic things to do in Melbourne and innovative work Christmas party ideas. Instead of visiting another overcrowded restaurant or bar, you'll study under master chefs while developing your kitchen skills. Above all else, cooking improves mindfulness. As you immerse yourself in slicing, stewing and sizzling, you'll forget about Christmas hecticness and overflowing to-do lists and instead, calm down your mind at your nearest Christmas cooking workshop.
