HOLIDAYS CATERING MENUS

NYC Holiday Catering

Celebrate the Season with Flavor and Style

New York City doesn’t hold back when it comes to celebrating the holidays—and your catering shouldn’t either. Whether you’re organizing a corporate party, hosting a family dinner, or planning a festive brunch, finding the right holiday catering in NYC can elevate your gathering from simple to unforgettable. With endless menu options and the pressure of holiday planning, choosing the right provider can feel overwhelming. But with a few strategic choices and the right catering partner, it can also be seamless.

At Gotham Catering, we understand that every holiday deserves its own special touch. From classic seasonal dishes to customized spreads, our menus are designed to match the energy of the holidays while giving you the freedom to enjoy the celebration. Whether it’s for your team, your family, or your community, holiday catering should be both convenient and crowd-pleasing.

Thanksgiving Catering That Feels Like Home

Thanksgiving in NYC blends the traditional with the modern. For some, that means a full roasted turkey with all the fixings; for others, it’s about seasonal elegance, vegetarian options, or bold flavors that reflect New York’s diversity. Our Thanksgiving catering menu is built to serve both—comfort food with chef-level execution.

From herbed stuffing to cranberry-glazed turkey breast, we prepare dishes that balance home-cooked nostalgia with presentation-worthy quality. Whether you’re feeding ten guests or a hundred, every order is handled with the same attention to flavor and freshness. We also offer reheatable packages for added convenience, perfect for offices or family-style service.

Christmas Catering: Festive Flavors and Elegant Touches

The holiday season peaks with Christmas celebrations, and the menu should reflect the moment. Our Christmas catering menu features warm, classic dishes like maple-glazed ham, roasted root vegetables, and decadent desserts that turn any space into a festive dining experience.

Whether you’re planning a formal sit-down dinner or a casual office lunch, our chefs build menus that suit both tone and taste. We also offer options for vegetarian and gluten-free guests, so no one has to miss out on the celebration. Many NYC offices begin planning their holiday parties in October or early November, so be sure to secure your spot before the schedule fills up.

Spring Celebrations: Easter and Passover Catering

Spring holidays like Easter and Passover are perfect opportunities to bring people together over meaningful meals. Our Easter catering options offer brunch-friendly selections such as quiche, fruit platters, and baked salmon, while our Passover menu adheres to dietary traditions with kosher-style offerings like brisket, matzo ball soup, and flourless desserts.

We pay attention to the cultural and religious significance of these holidays, making sure your catering arrives on time, beautifully presented, and ready to serve. Our menus can be adjusted for both intimate gatherings and larger events, and we’re happy to work with you on customizing items to meet dietary or flavor preferences.

Seasonal Standouts: St. Patrick’s Day & Good Friday

While not everyone thinks of St. Patrick’s Day or Good Friday as major catering holidays, they provide a great opportunity to offer themed experiences for your guests or team. Our St. Patrick’s Day catering leans into Irish-inspired comfort food—think corned beef, cabbage, and hearty potato dishes. It’s a hit for office lunches or casual get-togethers.

For more subdued occasions like Good Friday, we offer lighter menus with seafood and vegetarian options. Our Good Friday menu focuses on simplicity and fresh ingredients, perfect for observant clients or seasonal events in churches, schools, or nonprofits.

Corporate Holiday Catering in NYC

For companies planning seasonal celebrations, end-of-year meetings, or client appreciation events, reliable catering is a must. Our corporate catering NYC service is built to handle groups of all sizes, offering everything from individual lunch boxes to buffet spreads. We also provide flexible delivery times and setup options, allowing you to focus on hosting while we handle the logistics.

We understand that corporate clients value consistency, punctuality, and presentation. Our team works with office managers, event coordinators, and executive assistants to make planning simple. We also offer themed packages that align with holiday branding and can include everything from breakfast meetings to end-of-day cocktail bites.

Holiday Breakfast Catering: Start the Day Deliciously

Sometimes the best holiday celebrations begin first thing in the morning. Whether it’s a team appreciation breakfast, a festive morning meeting, or a family gathering, a well-planned breakfast spread sets the tone for the day. Our holiday breakfast catering menu includes classics like fresh bagels, smoked salmon platters, hot breakfast wraps, pastries, and seasonal fruit.

For corporate clients, we offer individually packaged options as well as buffet-style setups. Our breakfast menus are designed to accommodate early deliveries and tight schedules. You can also request specialty items like cold brew, fresh-pressed juices, or holiday-themed baked goods to bring a little extra energy and joy to the morning table.

Themed Holiday Dinner Buffets with Global Flair

Not every holiday dinner needs to follow the same format. With our themed dinner menus, you can turn any gathering into a culinary journey. Whether you’re hosting a Latin-inspired holiday party with our Mexican Fajita Bar or an elegant Italian dinner featuring hot pasta and antipasto, we have options to match your vision.

These menus work especially well for casual corporate events, multicultural holiday parties, or groups looking to offer something more creative than the typical spread. Our team handles setup, styling, and breakdown, making it easy to deliver a cohesive and delicious experience without the stress of DIY planning.

Desserts, Sides & Sweet Holiday Add-Ons

No holiday meal is complete without dessert—and our dessert catering menu is designed to leave a lasting impression. From miniature cheesecakes and holiday cookies to full dessert platters with chocolate-dipped strawberries and seasonal tarts, our selections complement any menu.

We also offer a wide variety of sides and extras. Add cold side salads, artisan breads, or gourmet dips to round out your holiday feast. Many of our clients love customizing their order by mixing and matching across menus, and we’re always happy to help curate a well-balanced offering that matches your group’s tastes.

What You Need to Know: Catering Policies & Delivery

When you’re planning a holiday event in NYC, timing and logistics matter just as much as the food. That’s why we make our catering policies clear and straightforward. We offer reliable delivery windows, detailed setup instructions, and guidance on how to serve or reheat dishes depending on your service style.

Large orders may require advance notice, especially during peak holiday weeks. We always recommend booking early to secure your preferred delivery time and menu selections. If you’re unsure where to start, our catering team is available to walk you through the ordering process step-by-step.
