Company Christmas Party in Munich: Ideas & Venues for Teams 2026
Updated: 2 days ago
Another company Christmas dinner? It doesn't have to be. If you're planning a Christmas party in Munich, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the end of the year together - from Christmas markets and curling to team activities and weather-independent indoor venues.
The classic options are easy to find. The more important question is which format actually works for your team. What works well for a small company Christmas party? What should you consider with 50 or 100 guests? Which Christmas party venue in Munich suits your team? And which local ideas are worth considering?
Which Christmas party works for your team?
If conversation is the priority: A Christmas dinner gives you plenty of time to catch up and works for both small and larger teams.
If you're looking for a relaxed festive atmosphere: A Christmas market is particularly suitable for smaller teams or as a first stop before dinner.
If you want to do something together: Curling, escape rooms, tastings or a Christmas team event add some activity to the evening and create shared experiences.
If you want to plan independently of the weather: An indoor activity or experience venue gives you more certainty. For larger teams in particular, it can be useful to have the activity, dinner and the rest of the evening in one place.
Company Christmas party in Munich: ideas and local tips
Ideas for your company Christmas dinner
A company Christmas dinner doesn't automatically have to mean spending the entire evening at the same table. A few simple changes can create more interaction and make dinner feel more like a shared Christmas celebration.
Three ideas that are easy to organise:
Activity before dinner: Start with curling, an escape room or another shared experience and head to dinner afterwards. You'll already have plenty to talk about once you sit down.
Make the seating more flexible: For larger teams, a flying buffet, different seating areas or a more informal setup can make it easier for colleagues to mix throughout the evening.
Make the food part of the experience: Look for restaurants or venues with an additional concept, such as live cooking, a group cooking experience, a tasting or another activity alongside dinner.
Search tip: First think about what you would like to happen besides dinner. Searches such as "Christmas party Munich activity and dinner", "company Christmas dinner Munich" or "Christmas party Munich with food and activity" can help you find suitable options more quickly than simply searching for a restaurant.
Christmas markets - ideal for small teams or as a first stop
For a small team, a Christmas market can be the main event of the evening. With larger groups, staying together becomes more difficult. In that case, a Christmas market often works better as the first stop before a reserved dinner or another activity.
Munich tip: The Haidhausen Christmas Market at Weißenburger Platz is a nice alternative to the large Christmas markets in the city centre. Its location in Haidhausen also makes it easy to combine with dinner at a nearby restaurant.
Curling - get the team involved
Bavarian-style curling, known locally as Eisstockschießen, is a good choice for teams that want to combine a little friendly competition with a festive atmosphere. Offers that combine the activity with food, drinks or a Christmas market can be particularly convenient.
Tip: At the Löwenbräukeller, for example, curling can be combined with mulled wine and bratwurst by the open fire. At WinterWunderWERK in Munich's Werksviertel district, you can combine curling with a small winter market.
Christmas team event in Munich
If you don't want to spend your entire Christmas party sitting around a table, you can combine your end-of-year celebration with a shared activity. Smaller teams don't necessarily need an elaborate event programme. An escape room, tasting or indoor activity can easily be combined with dinner afterwards.
Magic Bavaria can also be integrated flexibly into your Christmas party. Small teams can start with an aperitif, explore the interactive experience together and then head to a restaurant for dinner.
Indoor Christmas party - when the venue becomes part of the experience
An indoor venue is particularly useful if you want to plan your company Christmas party in Munich independently of the weather and don't want to spend the entire evening sitting at the same table.
Magic Bavaria is suitable for small teams as well as larger company Christmas parties with up to 200 guests. Across around 1,000 m², your team can explore interactive rooms, illusions and photo spots together. Turn the world upside down in the King's Hall, discover the Ice Crystal Infinity Mirror Room or take a seat on the giant pretzel swing.
As you move through the experience, you can try out photo spots together and naturally mix with different colleagues along the way. This creates conversation, shared experiences and plenty of team photos.
Christmas party venue in Munich: when does an exclusive venue make sense?
For larger companies, organising the entire Christmas party in one place can make things considerably easier. The reception, shared experience, Christmas dinner and the rest of the evening can all be combined without moving the entire group between different locations.
For larger groups, Magic Bavaria also offers the option of an exclusive Christmas party. The format is designed for 40 to 200 guests and can combine the interactive experience, Christmas dinner and drinks in one evening.
Instead of spending several hours in the same seat, guests can explore the experience rooms together, take photos and meet different colleagues along the way. There is still plenty of time for conversation over dinner and later in the evening.
What companies appreciate about Christmas parties at Magic Bavaria
Magic Bavaria can be the setting for the entire Christmas party or simply one shared experience during the evening. One Allianz team, for example, visited Magic Bavaria as part of its Christmas celebration before continuing the evening elsewhere.
Allianz described its Christmas party at Magic Bavaria as follows:
"The combination of interactive settings, the unique atmosphere and lovingly designed details immediately captivated our team."
Mücke Roth & Company also highlighted the interaction within the venue, trying things out together and celebrating alongside the food at its exclusive Christmas party at Magic Bavaria.
The two examples show how differently the venue can be used. Small teams can include Magic Bavaria as one shared activity within their Christmas party, while larger groups can combine the experience, dinner and the rest of the evening directly at Magic Bavaria.
Company Christmas party in Munich: what works for different group sizes?
Group size has a major impact on which activities still work well for everyone and how much organisation is required for the schedule, food and venue.
Christmas party for 5 to 10 people
With a small team, you usually don't need an extensive event package. A shared activity followed by dinner can already make for a varied evening.
At Magic Bavaria, for example, you can explore the interactive experience together and then head out for dinner. An escape room, tasting or Christmas market followed by a restaurant also works well for this group size.
Christmas party for 10 to 20 people
With 10 to 20 people, many activities can still be enjoyed as one group. A Christmas market followed by dinner, curling, an escape room or an indoor activity can therefore be relatively straightforward to organise.
A visit to Magic Bavaria can also be combined with an aperitif and Christmas dinner afterwards.
Christmas party for 20 to 50 people
At this group size, the practical side of an activity becomes more important. Can everyone participate at the same time, or will you have to split into different groups or time slots? Is there enough room for everyone afterwards? Do the activity and restaurant need to be booked separately?
At Magic Bavaria, a group of 20 to 50 people can combine an aperitif with a shared visit to the interactive experience. Afterwards, you can continue your evening elsewhere or stay at Magic Bavaria.
Christmas party for 50 to 100 people
With 50 to 100 guests, the reception, activity, dinner and rest of the evening should work as one coherent schedule. Moving the entire group between locations becomes more complicated, so a venue that combines several parts of the evening can make the organisation much easier.
Magic Bavaria can also support you in planning an exclusive Christmas party.
Christmas party for 100 to 200 people
For a large corporate Christmas party, capacity is only one consideration. Catering, technical equipment, accessibility, on-site support and a clear schedule also become important. Check whether the venue can be used exclusively and whether you have one central contact person for planning and for the event itself.
At Magic Bavaria, we support you with the event planning as well as on-site coordination during your Christmas party.
What should you consider when comparing Christmas party venues?
Can the activity, dinner and celebration take place in one venue?
If you're planning an activity alongside your Christmas dinner, check whether both can take place at the same venue. For small teams, changing locations can be straightforward. With 50, 100 or more guests, it adds extra organisation and can interrupt the flow of the evening.
What is already included in the offer?
Don't compare venues based on the price per person alone. Check exactly what is included. Venue hire, food, drinks, activities, technical equipment, staff and exclusive use may already be included or charged separately, depending on the offer.
How much of the organisation does the venue handle?
Before booking, clarify who will take care of the schedule, catering, drinks, technical requirements and on-site support. Particularly for larger company Christmas parties, it makes a difference whether you have to coordinate several suppliers yourself or have one central contact person.
Can everyone actually participate together?
An activity that works for ten people won't automatically work for 50. Check whether everyone can participate at the same time, whether you need to split the group and whether this creates waiting times.
How will everyone get there - and home again?
Good public transport connections are useful for a company Christmas party. Parking can also be important for larger groups.
Magic Bavaria is located in Munich-Moosach, directly next to the OEZ shopping centre, and can be reached via the U1 and U3 underground lines. Parking is available in the car park at the location.
For popular dates in November and December, it is also worth enquiring early.
