Columbus Holiday Party Catering for
Family & Corporate Events
The tree is up, the guest list keeps growing, and somehow the menu is still the last thing anyone’s figured out. Holiday catering in Columbus should be one less thing on your plate this season. From an intimate Christmas dinner at home to a full office party, Event Thyme Catering brings the same care to your holiday table that we bring to every wedding and celebration we cater. Let us handle the food so you can actually enjoy the season instead of running the kitchen.
What's Included in Our Holiday Catering in Columbus
Christmas Classics Without the Hassle
Not everyone wants to spend their holiday in the kitchen. Our Christmas dinner catering in Columbus takes care of the classics—including options like carved turkey or ham, plus warm side dishes and all the trimmings—so you can socialize with your guests instead of checking the oven every 10 minutes.
Thanksgiving and New Year's Menus
We build flexible menus for both, whether you need a traditional Thanksgiving spread for extended family or a lighter, celebratory menu to ring in the new year. No matter the date on the calendar, our Columbus holiday party catering is the perfect fit for any occasion.
Cocktail Hour Appetizers & Hors d'Oeuvres
Set the mood before the main meal with a diverse selection of hot hors d’oeuvres and cold hors d’oeuvres. From a beautiful holiday charcuterie display to bite-sized appetizers served throughout your space, these small yet elegant touches help guests mingle and elevate your entire event.
Festive Holiday Dessert Displays
Wrap up your holiday meal with something sweet and visually stunning. Our dessert catering options range from a simple dessert table to a full holiday-themed spread with cookies, pies, and seasonal treats that guests will be talking about long after the plates are cleared.
Full Setup, Service, & Cleanup
Our team arrives ready to go, sets up serving stations and chafing dishes, and handles cleanup once the last guest heads home. You focus on the company around the table, and we’ll handle everything else.
