Is a virtual cooking class a good Christmas party idea for remote teams?

It's consistently rated our most popular format for end-of-year events. Remote teams finally have something to share and celebrate together — not just a Zoom call with drinks. The combination of cooking, eating, and competition creates the party atmosphere that a typical video call cannot.

When should we book a virtual Christmas cooking class?

December dates fill up from late September. For ingredient kit delivery worldwide, you need 2–3 weeks lead time. We strongly recommend booking before end of October for December events.

What festive menu options are available?

We offer Italian (fresh pasta + tiramisu), Japanese (sushi platter + mochi), Mexican (festive tacos + churros), and a French-inspired Christmas menu. All include a seasonal starter and dessert designed for the occasion.

Can we combine this with a virtual gift exchange or other activities?

Yes — we can build a longer event programme around the cooking class. Common additions include a wine pairing segment, a festive quiz, or a virtual gift exchange before or after the cooking session.

What platform does the event run on?

Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or WebEx — whichever your company already uses.

What happens if someone can't cook on the night — can we just watch?

Absolutely. Some participants prefer to watch and socialise. Others might have ordered food in. The event works as a social occasion even for non-cooks — though most people end up joining in once they see how easy it is.

What your team will cook

Elegant appetizer platter with salmon blinis, parmesan crisp, and bruschetta on white plate

Fresh pasta with thinly sliced black truffle on white plate

Signature main course

The centrepiece of the event — a hearty, celebratory dish. Choose Italian (fresh pasta with truffle), Japanese (hand-rolled sushi platter), or French-inspired (coq au vin) for a festive feel.

Chocolate yule log cake decorated with meringue mushroom and festive garnish

Christmas dessert

Tiramisu with a festive twist, spiced panna cotta, or yule log (bûche de Noël) depending on your chosen menu. The sweet ending your team deserves.
