Holiday Party Catering in Denver
Home for the Holidays, a winter tour of Denver
Six weeks when every date is a good date, and the good ones go first. Our 2026 seasonal collection is six holiday collections and two party platters made for pickup, cooked in our kitchen on South Kalamath and delivered across the Denver metro.
Every menu below is a list of exactly what comes with it. We quote your event once we know the headcount, the venue and how you want it served, so the number you get is for your party rather than a shelf price. Want a more visual menu? Our holiday menus page lays the whole season out page by page.
Pricing current as of September 2026. Preferred December dates fill quickly, so call (303) 356-9009.

Full-Service Holiday Collections
Six seasonal collections, each designed as a complete table. Five come with full-service event staff. The sixth, The Highlands, is the one that needs no staff at all, so it works as a staffed party or as pickup, delivery and setup-and-go.
Every collection is quoted for your event: the number moves with headcount, venue, china versus disposables, service style, and whether you want a bar. Tell us the date and the headcount and we will price it properly.
The Cherry Hills Gathering Table
A grazing centerpiece rather than a buffet line. Guests circle it all night.
Includes:

- Sweet Basil Bruschetta on Crostini
- Spiced Candied Bacon
- Truffled Potato & Smoked Gouda Flatbread
- Smoked Gouda Arancini with Arrabbiata Sauce
Make it sparkle: add caviar and kettle chips with crème fraîche and fresh chives.
The Wash Park Cocktail Party Collection
Warm, passed, crowd-pleasing. The right shape for a party where nobody sits down.
Includes:
- Curated local and imported cheeses with fresh fruit
- Crudité board with blue cheese cream
- Steak Bites with Chimichurri
- Blackberry Balsamic Chicken Skewers

- Rosemary-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
- Haricots Verts Almondine
- Winter Bistro Salad with dried cranberries, candied walnuts and crumbled goat cheese, Champagne vinaigrette
- Warm French Rolls with Sweet Cream Butter
The Highlands Holiday Party Favorites
The one collection that does not require staff. Take it full-service, or take it as pickup, delivery, or setup-and-go, which is why it is the most-booked holiday menu we have for office parties and house parties alike.
Five items, roughly five to six servings a guest. Call us with your headcount and we will build the collection around it.
Includes:
- Sweet Bourbon BBQ Meatballs
- Blackberry Balsamic Chicken Skewers
- Artichoke and Jalapeño Phyllo Tarts
- Deviled Eggs with Capers and Fresh Dill
- Farm Fresh Vegetable Crudité with Hummus and Buttermilk Ranch
Drop-Off, Pickup & Delivery
Two holiday platters, beautifully arranged in disposable serving pieces, ready for pickup, delivery, or setup-and-go. No staff, no setup, no cleanup.
Both carry a 15-guest minimum, the same as everything on our party platter menu. Hot selections may need a chafer package or gentle reheating, and eco-friendly disposables can be added by the setting. Ask us for either when you book.
Gather and Graze
A grazing platter set for pickup or delivery. Four items, quoted together for your headcount.
- Charcuterie Platter
- Farm Fresh Vegetable Crudité with Hummus and Buttermilk Ranch
- Artichoke and Jalapeño Phyllo Tarts
- Sweet Bourbon BBQ Meatballs
Cozy Celebration
The warmer, heartier platter. Five items, quoted together for your headcount. Brisket sliders arrive cold for reheating.
- Spiced Candied Bacon
- Blackberry Balsamic Chicken Skewers
- Soft Pretzel Bites with Pale Ale Cheddar
- Pepperoncini Italian Brisket Sliders with Caramelized Onions and Garlic Aioli
- Gourmet Cookies and Double Fudge Brownies
How Many Bites Per Person for a Holiday Party?
The question that wrecks December budgets in both directions. This is the working guidance we use when we build a proposal.
December parties run long. If you are choosing between two numbers, take the higher one: holiday guests graze for the whole event rather than eating once and stopping.
Reception Before a Seated Dinner
3 to 4 pieces per person
About an hour of mingling before everyone sits down. Two or three selections is plenty: people are saving room and they know it.
Office Party or Client Happy Hour
4 to 6 pieces per person
One to two hours, no seated meal. Four or five selections, at least one of them warm and one of them a board people can return to.
A Party That Replaces Dinner
8 to 12 pieces per person
Two hours or more with no meal behind it. This is where a grazing display earns its keep, because it feeds people continuously without a service line.
Holiday Sweets & Drinks
A merry little finish, served as stations rather than a plated course, plus alcohol-free drinks for guests of every age and for the ones driving I-25 home afterwards.
Holiday Sweets
A merry little finish. Festive favorites made for sharing.
- Oh, Holly Cannoli Bar: Crisp cannoli shells with sweet ricotta filling and festive toppings.
- Red and Green Mini Cake Slices: Petite slices of Red Velvet and Key Lime Cake served on charming little plates.
- Holiday Cookie Extravaganza: Festive cookies inspired by holiday traditions from around the world.
- S'mores Bar: Miniature candy bars, graham crackers and fluffy marshmallows for roasting.
Roasting setup is subject to venue approval. Our standing Gourmet Cookies and Double Fudge Brownies and Assorted Mini-Desserts are the simpler finish if you would rather not build a station. See the full dessert and beverage menu.
Merry Mocktails
Festive sips for every age. Colorful, cheerful and made for celebrating.
- Candy Cane Lane: Creamy, festive and perfectly pepperminty.
- The Grinch Punch: Kids adore its eye-catching color and sweet, fruity flavor.
- Cranberry Mistletoe: Lightly sweet, bubbly and beautifully festive.
Alcohol-free holiday beverages for guests of every age.
Holiday Hot Drinks
Cozy sips for chilly celebrations. Warm, festive and beautifully served.
- Holiday Mulled Cider: Warm apple cider simmered with cinnamon, cloves, orange and star anise.
- Garnish Your Cup: Cinnamon sticks, orange wheels, fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs.
- Holiday Hot Cocoa: Rich, warm cocoa served in festive cups with fluffy marshmallows.
- Add a Holiday Toppings Bar: Crushed peppermint, caramel drizzle, whipped cream, chocolate shavings and cinnamon sticks.
How to Book a Denver Holiday Party
Four things worth settling before you call. They save more money and more stress than any single dish on this page.
Reserve Early
Preferred December dates fill quickly, and staffed events fill first. Two to four weeks is the working minimum for anything staffed or over 50 guests. The second and third weeks of December want longer than that. Thanksgiving should be booked by the first week of November.
Settle Service Style Before Menu
Drop-off versus staffed moves the budget more than any dish on this page. Decide it first, then choose food to fit what is left.
Staffed Events Come From These Collections
To protect quality during our busiest season, full-service holiday events are built from the six collections above.
Ask About Off-Menu Favorites
Got a beloved favorite off the regular catering menus? Additional selections may be available with culinary approval and minimum quantities. Ask us. The answer is often yes, it just is not automatic in December.

Holiday Catering FAQ
Answers to the questions Denver hosts ask us most about holiday and Christmas party catering. Don't see yours? Call us at (303) 356-9009.
Our holiday platters are priced per person, from $3.50 for items like Sweet Bourbon BBQ Meatballs up to $11.00 for the Charcuterie Platter. A built holiday platter runs about $26 per person for four or five items, and eco-friendly disposables add $2.25 per setting. Full-service holiday collections are quoted per person once we know your headcount, venue and service style. See the full holiday menu with prices.
Allow two to four weeks for anything staffed or over 50 guests. Preferred December dates, especially the second and third weeks, fill earlier than that, so call as soon as you have a date in mind. Thanksgiving should be booked by the first week of November. Call us at (303) 356-9009 or book a free planning consultation.
Both. The Highlands Holiday Party Favorites collection and both Holiday Party Platters are available for pickup, delivery, or setup-and-go. The Cherry Hills, Wash Park, Ruby Hill, Cherry Creek and Wellshire collections come with full-service event staff.
Plan 3 to 4 pieces per person for a short reception before a meal, 4 to 6 for a one to two hour office party or happy hour, and 8 to 12 if the party is standing in for dinner. December parties run long, so round up.
Holiday platters carry a 15-guest minimum, the same as our standing party platter menu. Full-service collections have their own minimums depending on service style.
Yes, and it costs nothing extra when it is planned rather than added the day before. The Mezze Board and the Artichoke and Jalapeño Phyllo Tarts are vegetarian, Farm Fresh Vegetable Crudité is vegetarian and gluten-free, Baja Shrimp Cocktail and Spiced Candied Bacon are gluten-free, and Sweet Bourbon BBQ Meatballs are dairy-free. See more on our vegan and vegetarian menu.
Yes. Office holiday parties are the bulk of our December calendar. The Highlands collection and the party platters suit an in-office party on disposables, while the Cherry Creek and Ruby Hill dinners suit a venue event with staff. Our guide to corporate holiday party catering covers the planning side, and our corporate catering menus cover the rest of the year.
We deliver across the Denver metro from our kitchen at 1170 South Kalamath Street, including downtown and LoDo, Cherry Creek, Wash Park, the Highlands, RiNo, DTC and the south suburbs, Golden, Lakewood, Littleton, Aurora, Broomfield and Boulder. Delivery may be billed separately depending on distance.
Yes. Our Merry Mocktails, which are Candy Cane Lane, The Grinch Punch and Cranberry Mistletoe, are alcohol-free, and we serve Holiday Mulled Cider and Holiday Hot Cocoa with garnish and toppings bars.
Yes. The Ruby Hill and Cherry Creek collections both work as a Thanksgiving table with a turkey substitution, and our platters travel well to a house. Book by the first week of November, because the kitchen closes its list earlier than people expect.
