Christmas at work doesn’t have to mean dinner at a restaurant.

After a year of meetings, projects, deadlines and days spent in front of a screen, it can be the perfect time to do something completely different: put work aside and get back to working together, but in a much more fun way.

For Christmas 2026, La Soffritta is introducing a new selection of team building and team cooking experiences in Verona, designed for companies looking to turn the classic end-of-year event into something to experience and share together.

Team cooking: when cooking becomes a real team effort

Something interesting happens in the kitchen: office hierarchies matter much less. Tasks are divided, decisions have to be made, time needs to be managed and, most importantly, everyone has to collaborate to reach the final result.

That’s exactly why team cooking works so well as a corporate team building activity. It’s not simply about learning how to cook, but about creating a situation where the group has to communicate, organise and find its own way of working together.

For Christmas 2026, we’ve prepared something special. This year, our selection is even wider, with some experiences available as limited editions exclusively during the Christmas season.

There are challenges designed to put creativity and collaboration to the test, more convivial experiences centred around the aperitivo, and activities that bring a fresh and original twist to the Christmas theme.

For more exclusive events, the experience can also move beyond the kitchen, with activities combining art, culture and cooking inside one of Verona’s most beautiful historic palaces.

Alongside our seasonal proposals, our most popular Team Cooking experiences are still available, designed for groups who want to get hands-on in the kitchen.

From more relaxed and convivial formats to full-on competitions between teams, there are also experiences where cooking meets wine, training or corporate meetings. Team cooking can take many different forms, depending on what each group is looking for.

Christmas 2026: let’s start planning your Team Cooking experience

If you’re looking for an idea for a corporate Christmas party in Verona, a team building activity, or simply a different way to wrap up the year with colleagues, there are plenty of possibilities to discover at La Soffritta.

The most important part, however, isn’t choosing a format from a list. It’s understanding what kind of event you’re looking for.

  • How many people will be joining?
  • Are you looking for a relaxed afternoon or a real challenge?
  • Would you rather stay in the kitchen, or combine your team cooking experience with a walk, a visit or another activity?
  • Do you simply want to celebrate the end of the year, or would you also like to use the occasion to work on team dynamics and goals?

Based on your needs, we can create the most suitable experience, combining different elements when needed.

Write to us by email: we’ll help you find the right proposal and create your Christmas Team Cooking experience for 2026 together.
