The city is filled with world class restaurants so take advantage of all that culinary talent with a cooking class. A chef will teach you all of your favorite dishes from sushi to Thai curry. If you want to learn new skills, learn how to make French croissants with a professional baker, or finally master the quintessential New York bagel. The best part is sharing what you make with your loved ones.

Cooking classes are fun holiday party ideas in NYC.

For the gourmet sweet tooth

Learn how to make chocolate this Christmas with a fun workshop in NYC.

If you can’t imagine Christmas without sweets, try a chocolate making class. You'll discover the artistry behind crafting decadent treats from scratch. From tempering chocolate to molding truffles, these workshops offer an indulgent experience that goes beyond your typical Christmas cookie swap when everyone tastes each other’s creations.

For the cocktail enthusiast

Our cocktail classes are great Christmas party ideas in NYC.

Imagine learning all the best tips and tricks from a professional bartender. When you take one of our NYC mixology classes, you'll get the inside track on their best-kept secrets and innovative recipes. Learn what's trending in cocktails as you learn about different spirits and how to mix flavors. This is for all of your most social friends and perfectly adaptable for non-drinkers to make mocktails. Everyone wins! 

For the artisan home goods lover

Learn ceramics with your friends in NYC.

Are you the type that can’t resist handmade goods at your local specialty shop? if you're more inclined toward art and crafts, pottery classes can offer a therapeutic break from city life while channeling your inner artist. Whether it’s wheel throwing or hand building techniques adult art classes like these allow you to shape your own masterpiece from clay under expert guidance. The best part is having a ceramic piece like an ornament or teacup to remind you of the time you spent together.

For the maker who loves DIY

Get crafty with friends this holiday with a paint pouring workshop.

Another brilliant idea that merges creativity with socializing is booking a craft workshop. Try a paint-pouring project like a fluid bear or an acrylic paint-poured canvas. This is a relaxing way to make art that doesn’t require any experience. Beginners will love the ease of swirling acrylic paint onto a bear figure or canvas, and seeing the colorful results. DIY crafts not only help unleash your artistic side but also make for fantastic keepsake mementos.

This Christmas season instead of sticking with the old standards for festivities, give creative workshops a try!
