Christmas Masterchef Challenge

A Christmas Masterchef challenge is fast paced, festive, and fun. Turn up the heat, and cook against the clock to win! Our Christmas Masterchef Challenge is perfect for your team's next Christmas party.

Your colleagues will break into teams and then compete to produce the best Christmas meal of the day. To celebrate all your team’s hard work, the whole group will sit down for a fantastic dining experience to enjoy the fruits of their labours.

Masterchef is our most popular format. In the Christmas Masterchef Challenge your team will choose fresh ingredients from our pantry, which includes a bounty of seasonal, Christmas dinner worthy ingredients. Those teams that cook the most flavoursome and visually appealing dishes will take the crown. Teams will need to work together to plan, cook, compete and win, which makes this an ideal team Christmas event.
