                     Best Catering Ideas 
for Office Holiday 
Parties

Office holiday parties are your chance to break the routine, spark conversations, and 
give everyone something to look forward to. But what truly brings it all together? The 
food. With River Oaks Catering from The Heights Catering, your holiday event can hit 
all the right notes—from elegance to energy.
Go Beyond the Traditional Buffet
Think past trays of sandwiches or mystery meatballs. Instead, build food stations that 
give people options.
Try:
•Gourmet taco bar with multiple proteins and colorful toppings
•Mini sliders with classic and unexpected pairings
•Mediterranean mezze table with hummus, baba ganoush, stuffed grape
•leaves, and warm pita
•Build-your-own pasta station with fresh sauces and grated cheeses
Interactive setups keep guests engaged and encourage mingling.
Include Seasonal Flavors
Holiday parties thrive on warmth, both in atmosphere and taste. Incorporate 
ingredients like cranberry, cinnamon, roasted vegetables, and glazed proteins.
Offer ideas like:
•Herb-crusted chicken with citrus glaze
•Butternut squash risotto
•Cranberry and brie puff pastries
•Hot apple cider bar with cinnamon sticks and orange zest
Let the menu echo the season without becoming cliché.
Respect Dietary Needs—Without Losing Flavor
Make everyone feel welcome at the table. Offer plant-based dishes, gluten-free 
options, and dishes free from common allergens—without sacrificing creativity.
Some crowd-pleasers:
•Cauliflower tikka skewers
•Stuffed bell peppers
•Quinoa and roasted veggie bowls
•Fresh fruit and nut platters with local honey drizzles
Balanced menus show your attention to detail.
Keep the Energy Flowing with Small Plates
Instead of heavy entrees, opt for small plates served in waves. This encourages 
movement, conversations, and continued sampling. Think of it like a tasting 
journey.
Include bites like:
•Mini crab cakes
•Chicken satay skewers
•Caprese salad cups
•Shrimp ceviche shooters
The Heights Catering team in River Oaks specializes in delivering diverse, well-
portioned plates ideal for cocktail-style events.
Don’t Skip Dessert—Elevate It
Dessert can seal the memory of your event. Think about presentation and flavor 
balance.
Some ideas:
•Mini cheesecake bites
•Chocolate mousse in edible cups
•Citrus tarts with sugared mint
•Holiday cookie station with custom icing kits
Offer guests something to enjoy slowly while they unwind and connect.
Add a Signature Drink
A signature drink adds character and keeps your event memorable.
Try:
•Spiced pear punch
•Holiday sangria with cinnamon
•Non-alcoholic cranberry spritzers
•Custom mocktails served in vintage glassware
Pairing with the meal adds a personal, thoughtful touch.
