The annual retreat, the company holiday party, an unforgettable New Year’s celebration at a rooftop bar. These are the moments we strive for in the lead-up to the holiday season. But it’s hard to know how to make that dream a reality, especially if hosting isn’t already one of your mastered skills. Here are the basic building blocks of a seasonal event well done.

BREAK BREAD AND CELEBRATE WITH A TOAST

This season is made for celebrating the people around you, and there’s no better way to show you care than a nice meal. For those of us inexperienced with the art of home hosting, what better way to ensure a world-class meal than by booking with none other than Anthony’s Chophouse. Their menu rotates seasonally based on the freshest and finest ingredients available, but fine dining is always on the menu.

CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER

For company events and family gatherings alike, the goal of gatherings around the holiday season should always be to connect with one another. Whether it’s coworkers gathering for the office holiday party, or adult children and parents celebrating the holidays with a drink on one of the 3UP lounge couches, there’s no better time of year to toast to one another.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

For the annual report, be prepared to add a little flare. Attentions slip as we reach the end of the year, but that shouldn’t mean the death of a meeting. Dress up the slideshow, order some cocktails, open up the floor to Q&A. Add in one of your high school yearbook photos toward the end, just to see if everyone’s paying attention.

The dynamic event spaces at Anthony’s Chophouse are ready for whatever your private event might entail–with Wi-Fi and AirTime capabilities, the holiday party slideshow is just kicking off. Their gorgeous Glass Chimney room is ideal for larger gatherings of up to 30 people, while their elegant Board Room space seats up to 16. The atmosphere is unmatched, the menu is set. All there’s left to do is come together.

AN EVENT TO MARK THE SEASON

3UP will also play host to their annual New Year’s Eve event. Ring in the New Year on the 3UP rooftop bar and lounge with your nearest and dearest. Tickets are $150/person, which includes a welcome cocktail, a toast at midnight, all-you-can-eat food from a select menu, reserved seating, and party favors.

Spend your holiday season with Anthony’s Chophouse and 3UP Rooftop Lounge.
