We all deserve a fantastic Christmas and New Year celebration this year! However, we also need to ensure that we keep our loved ones safe while we do it. Magic Stamp has come up with a few ways that you can spice up your Christmas dinner and New Year Eve party get some incredible Magic Stamp discounts along the way! So without further ado – take a look at how to have a Magic dinner party.

The new essential

First things first, sanitisers… Even though you will be within your social bubble, keeping your guests and the rest of society safe should be the number one priority, so make sure that you have plenty in the house.

You can order quick-drying sanitisers from The Lab and get a discount by using Magic Stamp.

Atmosphere

Creating the right atmosphere is the bedrock of any successful dinner. And we can’t think of a better way to do it than with a sophisticated seasonal flower or candle arrangement.

You will probably already have a Christmas tree but adding a few more lights or decorations can really help take the ambiance to the next level.

And of course, flowers on the dinner table is a must! Check out Urban Flowers and Nell&Green, you will find incredible festive options that will complement any spread.

Starters

Roasted vegetables, olives, cheese, and crusty bread are always popular, because they can be eaten by vegetarians too. Finger food like canopies are always a hit and allows you to cater to every taste.

Farmer’s markets in your local area are a great place to find ingredients. They often have special homemade items that you can serve with your dishes and most people prefer to eat seasonally. Places like Better Food and The Bristol Loaf are ideal if you are looking for organic produce.

Main course

Obviously you will be having a turkey at Christmas, if you haven’t order yours yet, then check out Bodean’s BBQ for a delicous turkey.

At New Year, you can be a bit more creative, so you could serve roast beef or do something more interesting like guineafowl or rabbit. Maybe you fancy doing fresh seafood or want to try vegetarian or even vegan food like - roasted cauliflowers, baked camembert, and vegan sausages.

Snacks

We always associate Christmas with games around the table with family and friends. And this year, most people will be at home for New Year’s Eve, so serving some delicious snacks with cold beverages is ideal while you all enjoy playing Monopoly or Cluedo... You can order little hamburgers from Tribal Burger, serve pizza slices from HomeSlice, burritos from Mission Burrito, vegan kebabs from What The Pitta or sushi from Sushidog UK.

Dessert

This year, we probably all got better at baking things at home, so you probably know how to make your own Christmas pudding or cake. However, if you want to add more options to your Christmas dinner or New Year Eve dessert list – then check out Derosier, which provides some of the best chocolate in the country!

Pancakes, cookies, ice cream and vegan doughnuts are other amazing alternatives to your personal menu.

As the joy of this time of the year, don’t forget to treat yourself too. While you prepare, why not grab a free cup of coffee using your Magic Stamp discount?
