Corporate Christmas Event

We create complete Winter Experiences. Whether you want a grand gala dinner in a historic ballroom, a cozy “Winter Fair” festival in an industrial hall, or a classic party on the canals, we handle it all. We don’t just provide the space; we provide the styling, the entertainment, the catering, and the festive atmosphere to celebrate the end of the year in style.

No, absolutely not. While our boats are famous, we organize many of our largest Christmas parties strictly on land. We source unique venues across Amsterdam—from museums and theatres to private lofts and restaurants. We match the venue to your group size and desired vibe.

Yes, this is our most popular “Winter Special.” Imagine starting with a 3-course Christmas dinner at a top restaurant, and then being picked up by a luxury saloon boat for a dessert and drinks cruise through the Amsterdam Light Festival. It offers the best of both worlds: the comfort of a venue and the magic of the canals.

Beyond just dining and drinking, we can organize interactive winter activities. Think of a private ice-skating session, a Winter BBQ workshop, a cocktail shaking class (festive edition), or even a “Christmas Treasure Hunt” through the illuminated city center before heading to the party venue.

Yes. The Amsterdam Light Festival is a highlight of the season. We can incorporate a private tour of the art installations into your event—either via a guided walking tour along the quay or a canal cruise segment. It adds a spectacular visual element to your corporate party.

Absolutely. Food is the heart of Christmas. We can arrange everything from a formal sit-down Christmas dinner with game and seasonal vegetables, to a casual “Winter Market” food court with stalls serving flammkuchen, stamppot, and waffles.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without them! Our winter drink packages can be upgraded to include Glühwein (mulled wine), warm apple cider, and Hot Chocolate stations with whipped cream and liqueurs. We also offer premium wine and cocktail bars.

We take “deck the halls” seriously. Whether it’s a boat or a land venue, we can arrange full Christmas styling—including Christmas trees, mood lighting, table decorations, and winter props. If you have a specific theme (e.g., “Roaring 20s Christmas” or “Winter Wonderland”), our stylists will bring it to life

Yes. We organize end-of-year events for companies of 50 to 500+ employees. For large groups, we often use large event halls or take over entire restaurant complexes, ensuring there is space for a plenary “Year in Review” speech as well as a party dancefloor.

Most of our land-based partner venues are equipped with AV technology (screens, microphones, stages). We can facilitate the formal part of your evening—the CEO’s speech or employee awards—before transitioning the space into a party setting.

December is the most competitive month for events in Amsterdam. To secure the best venues (especially on Thursdays and Fridays), we recommend starting the planning process in September or October. However, we are experts at finding last-minute gems if you are running late!

Yes. We can arrange VIP transfers or shuttle buses to get your team to the venue safely. If your office is outside the city, we can manage the logistics of getting everyone to Amsterdam and back home after the party.

That depends on you! We can organize black-tie Gala Dinners where “Festive Chic” is required, or casual “Ugly Christmas Sweater” parties. We communicate the dress code clearly to your guests in the invitation process.

Yes. A DJ is standard for the party, but we can also book live bands, carol singers, magicians, or even a Santa Claus to hand out gifts. Entertainment is key to keeping the energy high during a winter event.
