With Thanksgiving fast approaching and December on the horizon, many companies are thinking of how to enjoy the holidays with local staff. There are lots of ways to brighten up the holiday parties: festive food, holiday music and decorations,
and corporate chair massage.
This is the time of year that office parties kick into high gear, and potluck style office parties are frequent during the holiday season! Don’t let it stress you out, though, as I have a few good ideas for festive foods that I plan on sharing with you.
When making a meal for a party, you have to keep in mind a few basic facts. Many of your coworkers may have mentioned to you that they are dieting or that they are watching what they eat. This may be true, but it has been seen that many of them abandon this idea at east for the holidays. So make sure you are making a meal that is flavorful and fun, rather than bringing a meal that is only there to be a healthy option. Do not stress over what to make, because I have a list of some good potluck food ideas based on research and party favorites!
- Deviled Eggs
There are many different ways you can prepare deviled eggs. Horseradish, green onion, and the list goes on, with many different combinations of flavor and style that you can incorporate. These small, yet flavorful snacks, will be a hit at the potluck, and there’s no doubt that you will go home without having to lug leftovers with you.
- Meatballs
Meatballs will always be the highlight of a party. They are a great addition to any party menu since they are small and easy to grab. The trick with this snack is that they have such a strong, wonderful aroma surrounding them, which makes them a hit. They are also super easy to prepare and cook!
- Pizza
Pizza is one item that allows you to be free from the hassle of cooking. Most people typically like pizza! Why knot” try out some new and different toppings? This adds a little “wow” factor, which could include pineapple, meat, and assorted veggies.
- Jumbo Shrimp
Shrimp with cocktail sauce is an appetizer that most people rarely dine on since it can be a bit expensive, and most people aren’t preparing appetizers to go with their everyday dinners. Shrimp cocktail is super easy to prepare, but is a surefire way to impress others who don’t normally indulge in this favorite. While it may set you back a bit in terms of price, it will surely be well-received within your office.
Now that you have a few ideas to help you plan out your next potluck dish, you should hopefully be a little less stressed going into the holiday season. Remember that these potlucks and parties are meant to help reduce stress and enjoy some time with your coworkers. Just like you, many of your coworkers have a lot on their shoulders as well. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy these times to celebrate wit your coworkers and get to know them a little better! It is also a great time to reconnect with those who work in your office or remote offices!
