When the holiday season rolls around, Toronto offices look for ways to celebrate their staff with style. Traditional buffets and hotel banquets have their place, but in 2025, more companies are choosing something unique: office Christmas BBQ catering.


From downtown Toronto to Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Scarborough, and Etobicoke, Big Flames BBQ has seen a growing demand for holiday menus that combine festive flair with the smoky, hearty flavors of BBQ.


Here’s how to design the perfect office Christmas BBQ party menu that will impress your employees and clients while keeping the holiday spirit alive.

Why BBQ for an Office Christmas Party?

BBQ creates a relaxed, festive atmosphere that balances professionalism with fun. Instead of stiff plated dinners, BBQ encourages mingling, sharing, and a communal vibe. Plus, smoked meats and warm sides perfectly complement Canada’s chilly December weather.


At Big Flames BBQ, we craft seasonal menus that bring together the best of BBQ with holiday favorites.


Starters & Appetizers

Get your party started with appetizers that set the tone:

  • Smoked Turkey Sliders: mini buns filled with juicy smoked turkey and cranberry aioli.

  • BBQ Meatballs: glazed in a festive cranberry-bourbon sauce.

  • Vegetable Platters: with holiday hummus dips and pita chips.


Pair your starters with festive décor. Local Toronto florists such as Bloomex Toronto can provide seasonal centerpieces that make even the buffet table feel holiday-ready.

Main Courses

The mains are where BBQ shines. For an office Christmas BBQ, consider a mix of festive meats and classic BBQ favorites:

  • Smoked Turkey Breast: juicy and tender, served with gravy.

  • Glazed Ham: slow-smoked and basted with honey mustard.

  • Beef Brisket: classic BBQ cut that never fails to impress.

  • Pulled Pork: versatile and crowd-pleasing.

  • Grilled Salmon: a lighter, festive option.


Our customizable menu packages let Toronto businesses choose the right mix for their teams.


Holiday Sides

The right sides turn BBQ into a festive feast:

  • Stuffing with Smoked Sausage

  • Roasted Root Vegetables

  • Mac & Cheese with a Holiday Twist (truffle or cranberry topping)

  • Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  • Coleslaw and Fresh Salads


For large offices, we recommend chafing dishes and serving stations. Companies often pair catering with rentals from providers like The Main Event Service for tables, linens, and décor.



Desserts

No office Christmas party is complete without something sweet:

  • Apple Pie Bars

  • Gingerbread Cookies

  • Brownies with Peppermint Swirl

  • Holiday Fruit Platters


Looking for a unique treat? Add an ice cream or soft-serve station from local favorite Alb Softy Inc. — it’s a playful touch your staff will love.



Drinks

Drinks are essential for a festive mood:

  • Hot Chocolate & Coffee Station

  • Mulled Cider

  • Craft Beer from Local Toronto Breweries (try Steam Whistle for a local touch)

  • Holiday Mocktails for non-alcoholic options



Presentation & Service

The right presentation elevates the experience. Big Flames BBQ provides professional service options through our catering packages, including:

  • Buffet setups with holiday décor.

  • Staffed serving stations.

  • Full cleanup after your party.


For offices that want a seamless experience, pairing catering with an event planner such as Fab Fête Event Planning Boutique ensures everything — from menu to entertainment — flows smoothly.
