If you’re looking for classic Christmas events in Sydney which involve alcohol, look no further! Why not try something new this year, and instead of taking everyone to the local pub, try a cocktail making class instead? If you’re organising a work Christmas party, you won’t need to worry about any awkward chit-chat as cocktail making classes in Sydney are designed to be all about having some fun and fostering connection and bonding with one another.
 

Taught by a local mixologist, you’ll learn how to shake, mix and sip on classic cocktails such as a margarita, mojito or pina colada! The new skills you pick up might just come in handy for impressing friends and family when you whip up delicious cocktails over Christmas lunch!
 

If you’re looking for something a bit more low-key, try a paint and sip class which is a perfect activity for adults of all ages. Sit back and relax in a non-judgemental class and enjoy learning how to paint while sipping on a glass of wine. When the class has finished, you could continue the night at your favourite local bar or pub. Not sure how to pull off the ultimate Christmas party? We're here to help!
 

2. Discover healthy silly season activities

If you’d prefer to find healthy Sydney Christmas events to host which don’t involve drinking alcohol, explore our pickling and fermentation classes in Sydney. Taught by a local expert, you’ll learn all about the fermentation process and how age-old products like kombucha, sauerkraut, mead, kimchi and even home-brewed beer are made! Fermentation is widely recognised as a health-promoting tradition – not to mention, fermented products are delicious! Once you learn the basics of making your own fermented fare, you can impress family and friends on Christmas Day in Sydney with your homemade creations.
 

Looking to find recipes to cook healthier Christmas lunch dishes? Why not try a vegan Christmas cooking class in Sydney with your friends and family? Enjoy making new memories together as you learn how to include healthier dishes in your traditional Aussie Christmas lunch this year. It might even give you the kick-start you need to get ahead with your New Year’s resolutions.
