December 25 may be marked on the calendar—but real Christmas prep starts well before then. Between company lunches, family gatherings, church events, and last-minute appreciation feasts, food planning can become the most exhausting part of the season. But it doesn’t have to be.
With CaterCo’s full-service catering options—from on-site buffets to drop-off party trays and Personal Feasts—you can plan meals that look festive, feel generous, and require zero panic on your part.
Whether you're planning for 10 or 200, here's how to prep for Christmas the smart way.
1. Map Out All the Meals
🎄 Christmas isn’t just one meal—it’s several.
Make a list of every gathering, appreciation gift, or team lunch you need to handle. Some common ones:
- Church potlucks or carolling suppers
- Office parties or departmental lunches
- Last-day-of-school meals or volunteer appreciation
- Christmas Eve family dinners
- Christmas Day brunches, lunches, or open house
Once you’ve mapped it out, you can match each with a format that fits—buffet, bento, or tray.

- Refreshing drinks like lime juice or bandung
All dishes are halal-certified, portioned for groups, and label-ready for buffet lines.
