Is it too early to talk about Christmas? We don't think so!
Autumn has barely got going, but December has a habit of arriving sooner than expected. Before you know it, diaries are filling up, festive playlists are playing and everyone is asking the same question: "What are we doing for the Christmas party?"
Why it pays to plan your work Christmas party early
Looking for office Christmas party ideas that go beyond drinks and small talk? At MyChocolate, we believe a great Christmas celebration should be about more than simply eating, drinking and making polite conversation. Our Christmas chocolate workshops give teams the chance to get stuck in, get creative and make something delicious together.
One thing we've learned from 22 Christmases of doing this: the Wednesdays and Thursdays in the last week of November and the first three weeks of December are the dates everyone wants, and they're usually snapped up by late October. So if you've got a favourite date in mind, the smartest move is to pencil it in now rather than "after the next team meeting".
And what could be more enjoyable than chocolate?
A Christmas party idea that's a little bit different
Looking for office Christmas party ideas that go beyond drinks and small talk? At MyChocolate, we believe a great Christmas celebration should be about more than simply eating, drinking and making polite conversation. Our chocolate workshops give teams the chance to get stuck in, get creative and make something delicious together.
From creating chocolate treats to experimenting with decorations and designs, our hands-on experiences are a chance to do something a little different from the usual Christmas party. There's plenty of chocolate, plenty of creativity and, of course, plenty of opportunities for a few laughs along the way! It's Christmas team building, without anyone noticing it's team building.
What your team is actually signing up for:
- A hands-on workshop at our Shoreditch venue in London, or we can bring the fun to you, with a chocolatier to show everyone the ropes
- Sessions for small teams or the whole company, from 5 people to 500
- Everyone makes their own chocolates and takes home everything they make
- Optional extras such as food, drinks, choc-tails or a festive competition
- From £45pp + VAT
We've been doing this for 22 years and we're rated 4.7 stars on Google, so your Christmas party is in safe (if slightly sticky) hands.
Make your company Christmas party your own
Planning ahead also means you can think about all those little extras that turn a good Christmas event into a great one. Who's coming? What would your team enjoy? Would you like to add food, drinks or a festive competition? Getting the main details sorted early gives you plenty of time to make your corporate Christmas party your own.
And let's not forget your guests! December can be a busy month, so giving everyone plenty of notice makes it easier to get the date in their diaries and gives your team something delicious to look forward to.
Beat the last-minute festive scramble
So if Christmas party planning hasn't made its way onto your to-do list yet, now might be the perfect time to start. Forget the last-minute festive scramble and give yourself something to look forward to.

A few things party organisers usually ask us
How far in advance should we book? As early as you can. Popular December dates go fast, so we'd suggest booking by early November at the latest to secure your space.
Does your team need to be any good at cooking? Not in the slightest. If they can hold a spoon, they're qualified. Our chocolatiers do the tricky bits.
Can you come to our office or venue? Yes, we can bring the fun to you easily! Just ask us for more details.
Can we add food and drinks? Of course! We have a range of delicious options for you to add on to enhance your festive experience!
Til next time,
Team MyChocolate x
