Created to be both complementary to and an alternative for family get-togethers, Friendsmas includes all the eating, drinking, gift-giving and merry-making commonly associated with Christmas day. However, where Friendsmas differs is that all the celebrating is coloured by the fact the people coming together share nothing more than a close and personal attachment they\u2019ve cultivated out of choice to enjoy the moment. <\/span>

For example, Friendsmas parties aren\u2019t confined to being held specifically on Dec. 25; that might not suit everyone\u2019s diaries and circumstances. The priority is finding a date when friends can be together and then planning accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s flexibility when it comes to choosing venues, too, with the main variable being how large the group of friends is anticipated to be. As such, a favourite restaurant or bar might be a more suitable alternative to one friend hosting it at their home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But Friendsmas is not just another catch-up between friends; it\u2019s a very special occasion held but once a year, and that means planning and effort well beyond the everyday. So if it\u2019s to be hosted at a friend\u2019s home, festive decorations, wrapped gifts, and a joyfully presented dining table are definitely the order of the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the easiest yet most beautiful ways to theme a table laid high with mouthwatering Friendsmas dishes is with Royal Doulton\u2019s range of beautiful Christmas tableware (link to come). Our collection provides a modern and stylish way to both elevate the menu and show how much the get-together means to you.<\/span>

Spending hours in the kitchen adding flourishes to impressive culinary creations is all well and good, but it can also severely restrict your own ability to enjoy the party. Instead, select a few key dishes you can make in advance, platter on the day, and that will allow all attending to casually help themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few ideas for bite-sized dishes to start you off, all ideal to serve on Royal Doulton\u2019s <\/span>serving boards and platters<\/span><\/a><\/span>: <\/span><\/p>\n

Cheese Boards<\/b><\/p>\n

Have fun curating and presenting your unique combination of breads, crackers, nuts, fruits, dips, and of course, cheeses both hard and soft.<\/p>\n

Cold Meat Platters<\/b><\/p>\n

From smoked, roasted and cured and from mild to red-hot, welcome your guests with a cold cut spread that\u2019s overflowing with choices. Make sure to include vegetarian options such as plant-based deli meats, olives and cut-fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n

Canapes<\/b><\/p>\n

There are simply too many appetiser possibilities to mention, but we do recommend applying these three criteria to make your canapes tray rise to the Friendsmas occasion: Taste. Colour. Texture<\/p>\n

Small desserts<\/b><\/p>\n

Continue the help yourself format by having single-servings of a variety of sweet treats – we strongly recommend home-baked cookies made the day before for when it\u2019s eventually time for coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n

If, on the other hand, you and your friends would prefer a sit-down dinner setup, Royal Doulton\u2019s classic <\/span>white tableware<\/span><\/a><\/span> is ideal for reconnecting with nostalgic Christmas moments. <\/span>

But buying a present for everyone attending Friendsmas can be tricky and awkward. That\u2019s why a lot of friendship groups opt instead to do a Secret Santa (also known as Kris Kringle). It works like this: well in advance of the party, each friend is randomly and secretly allocated the name of another friend who\u2019ll be attending, and that friend is the only person they\u2019ll bring a special gift for on the day. It maximises everyone\u2019s spending power, every guest receives a gift, and maximum spending limits ensure parity across all gifts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
