As the holiday season approaches, the idea of gathering with friends, family, or colleagues for a memorable shared experience becomes especially appealing. Private group holiday classes offer a unique way to bring people together, whether you’re looking to reconnect with loved ones, celebrate the end of a busy year with coworkers, or simply enjoy a festive activity in good company. These classes come in many forms, from hands-on cooking lessons to creative arts and crafts workshops, each designed to foster connection and spark joy. At Sur La Table, we’ve seen firsthand how a group cooking class can turn a simple get-together into a lively event, filled with laughter, learning, and the delicious aromas of holiday specialties. Imagine the satisfaction of rolling out fresh pasta dough beside your best friends, or the camaraderie that comes from crafting a batch of perfectly spiced holiday cookies as a team. These moments linger long after the last plate is cleared, creating lasting memories and new traditions.
When considering a private group holiday class, it’s helpful to think about the experience you want to share. For culinary-minded groups, options abound—everything from mastering the art of holiday cocktails to preparing a full festive meal, such as a Southern-inspired brunch or a classic Italian feast. These classes are more than just instructional; they’re interactive celebrations where everyone can participate, regardless of skill level. For those who prefer a creative twist, holiday-themed art and craft workshops offer a hands-on way to make the season special. Picture a table scattered with pine boughs, ribbons, and ornaments as you and your group design custom wreaths or centerpieces, or the satisfaction of molding clay into keepsake ornaments during a pottery session. These types of experiences are ideal for groups of all sizes, and they make thoughtful gifts for anyone who values time spent together—perfect for families, friend groups, or even corporate teams looking to strengthen bonds outside the office. And with virtual options available, distance doesn’t have to stand in the way; many workshops can ship supplies directly to participants, making it easy to join in from anywhere. Whether you’re gathering in person or online, booking your holiday class early is a smart move, as these popular experiences tend to fill up quickly during the busy season.
No matter which direction you take—culinary, creative, or even game-based—private group holiday classes are all about celebrating togetherness in a way that feels personal and meaningful. They’re a chance to slow down, try something new, and create something beautiful or delicious with people you care about.
