Every December the same question comes up: how do we celebrate Christmas with the team without the usual restaurant dinner? At Team Cooking Milan we turn the company Christmas party into an experience people actually remember: you cook together, laugh together and then sit down to a festive dinner with wine.

Why a cooking team building for Christmas
At a classic dinner everyone stays with the colleagues they already know. In the kitchen, teams mix: people from different departments share tasks, make decisions together and celebrate a result they created themselves. It’s a relaxed way to say thank you for the year and start the new one with a stronger team.
4 ideas for your company Christmas party
1. Christmas Challenge, the panettone competition
Teams compete to present the tastiest and most beautiful panettone. It’s our most festive format, created for the holiday season.
2. Christmas Mystery Box
A sealed box full of seasonal ingredients and no recipe: each team invents its own Christmas dish. Perfect for creative teams.
3. Show Cooking with a festive menu
Our chefs cook a Christmas menu live while guests watch, chat and enjoy a drink. Ideal for dinners with clients and partners.
4. Replicate the Chef’s Recipe
The chef has already prepared a holiday dish: teams taste it and have to recreate it exactly. Fun, and a great test of observation and teamwork.
