Elevate Your 2025 Holiday Entertaining with Paramount Events
The holiday party has evolved. In 2025, it’s less about a simple meal & more about creating a lasting impression. It’s about the shared “ooh” when a dessert tower is revealed, the warm conversation sparked at an interactive station, and the feeling that every detail was chosen with your guests in mind.
At Paramount Events, we believe the menu is the heartbeat of your celebration. It’s where flavor, interaction, and memory converge. This year, we’ve curated a selection of special offerings designed to transform your event from a standard gathering into an immersive culinary experience.
The Main Attraction: Interactive & Indulgent Stations
Interactive stations are the cornerstone of modern entertaining. They create natural gathering points, encourage mingling, and turn your guests from passive attendees into active participants.
Here’s a look at our headline acts for the 2025 season:
- The Tiramisu Tower: More than a dessert, it’s a showstopping centerpiece. Layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers & mascarpone create a dramatic, delicious focal point that captures every guest’s attention.
- The Winter Crème Brûlée Station: We’ve taken a classic & made it an event. Guests can watch the sugar caramelize before customizing with our chef-curated toppings. Choose from an array of sauces & crunchy toppings. Its captivating flame flair meets personalized flavor.
- The Artisan Carving Station: Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops. This is a crowd favorite for a reason. Our succulent lamb chops, drizzled with Saba & a Rosemary-Currant Gremolata, offer a flavorful & elegant nod to seasonal indulgence. It’s a station that feels both rustic & refined.
- The Ultimate Seafood Tower: Refined and always impressive. This tiered display features Oysters on the Half Shell, Cocktail Shrimp, & the pinnacle of luxury: Royal Sterling Caviar served with crème fraiche & Mark’s Crackers. It’s the perfect start to an elevated cocktail reception.
- The Cozy Hot Chocolate Bar: An after-dinner delight that invites connection. Guests can customize their mug with Homemade Whipped Cream, Crushed Peppermint, Chocolate Shavings, & Mini Marshmallows. It’s the warm, comforting finale every winter party deserves.
- The Macaron Pyramid: Chic, colorful, & irresistibly Parisian. Standing 18 inches tall, this pyramid of approximately 80 mini macarons in Vanilla & Chocolate is as visually stunning as it is delicious. A perfect, polished sweet bite.
Sophisticated Passed Bites to Kick Off the Festivities
The first impression is a flavor impression. Our passed bites are designed to welcome guests with sophistication and seasonal flair:
- Stuffed Mushrooms with Lump Crab, Parmesan, & Panko
- Gougères filled with Triple Cream Brie & Truffle
- Crudité with fresh Baby Vegetables & Paprika Hummus
Craft Cocktails & Zero-Proof Elegance
A signature drink sets the tone. Our Mixologist has crafted a menu that sings with holiday spirit:

- Mulled Wine Spritz: A warm & bubbly classic, elevated with Apple Cider Brandy.
- Gingerbread Old Fashioned: The essence of the season in a glass, with Bourbon & Gingerbread Rooibos Syrup.
