Winter Catering Frankfurt for the CHECK24 Christmas Party: For the corporate winter event on December 1, 2023, we developed a modern catering concept at the casino building of Goethe University Frankfurt. Featuring a winter-themed buffet, homemade mulled wine, and an interactive waffle station, the event successfully combined a classic Christmas atmosphere with modern corporate hospitality. At the same time, the celebration was designed to be communicative while still conveying a high-quality and warm winter ambiance.
Client: CHECK24
Occasion: Christmas party
Guests: 250 people
Venue: Goethe University Frankfurt | Casino Building, Frankfurt am Main
Date: December 1, 2023
Our team began delivering the first batch of equipment to the venue’s glass pavilion the evening before. On the day of the event, we then coordinated the entire setup of the buffets, beverage stations, decorations, and service areas. The goal was to transform the casino building into a modern winter venue with an open and relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, the catering was designed to provide guests with a high-quality culinary experience over the course of many hours.
OUR SOLUTION: WINTER CATERING IN FRANKFURT WITH A MODERN CHRISTMAS BUFFET
We created a modern Christmas buffet featuring winter-themed appetizers, hot main courses, and interactive dessert stations. At the same time, our team integrated open buffet areas, beverage stations, and seasonal decorations directly into the event setup. This created a seamless flow that deliberately encouraged communication and social interaction.
To start, we served a variety of winter appetizers with farmhouse bread from the bakery and hand-whisked butter. These included lamb’s lettuce with sautéed black salsify and pomegranate dressing, beet salad with green pear and parsley salad, and winter carrots with goat cheese and honey mustard emulsion. The selection was rounded out by mini brioche burgers with veal confit and prunes. This created a modern take on festive winter cuisine right from the start.
For the main course, our teams served confit mini goose legs with cranberry-apple chutney and caramelized onions, as well as brook trout in a panko coating served on cauliflower mousseline and sesame crumbs. The menu was complemented by a vegetarian option: praline-style Serviettenknödel with wild mushroom ragout and chestnut crunch. As a result, the dinner evolved into a modern fusion of classic Christmas cuisine and contemporary winter fare.
A special highlight of the evening was the interactive waffle station. Right in front of the guests, our teams baked fresh buttermilk waffles on a stick. Guests could then customize their waffles with white or dark chocolate, as well as Oreo cookies, dried raspberries, mini marshmallows, and crispy pearls. As a result, the dessert station quickly became a lively gathering spot during the event.
We also served cinnamon blossom crème brûlée and chocolate flan with blood orange ragout and amarettini. This provided a warm yet sophisticated finale to the winter menu.
At the same time, our team developed a winter beverage concept featuring homemade FLOW mulled wine and FLOW winter punch for the reception. The selection was rounded out by FLOW white and red wine from the Bieselin Winery, Tegernseer Hell, Clausthaler non-alcoholic beer, as well as various Fritz soft drinks and Selters mineral water. Later in the evening, we also served long drinks such as Cuba Libre, Vodka Lemon, and a curated selection of gin and tonics featuring Frankfurt Babba Rossa Main Gin, Applaus Gin, and Tanqueray Gin. This created a beverage lineup that perfectly complemented the wintery atmosphere of the event.
Our team also coordinated all event logistics, including the glass pavilion setup, refrigeration, coffee bar, night cleanup, and service organization. Event managers, service managers, chefs, logistics specialists, and service staff worked together according to clearly defined procedures. The event was complemented by black table linens, cloth napkins, champagne bowls, FLOW decorative trays, and seasonal winter decorations. This gave the entire Christmas party a modern, upscale, yet relaxed atmosphere.
THE RESULT: A MODERN CORPORATE CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH A WINTER ATMOSPHERE
The CHECK24 Christmas party evolved into an open and interactive winter event with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests moved freely between the buffet, drink bars, and dessert stations, enjoying the evening as a modern blend of winter cuisine, socializing, and relaxed networking.
The combination of a winter-themed buffet, homemade mulled wine, a waffle station, and meticulous organization created an atmosphere that felt sophisticated, inviting, and approachable all at once. As a result, the event left a lasting impression—not only in terms of the food but also emotionally.
This demonstrated how Winter Catering Frankfurt not only supports modern corporate winter events, but also transforms spaces with a unique atmosphere, brings guests together, and creates high-quality hospitality experiences.
