Forget personality tests. Tell us how your team likes to celebrate, and we’ll tell you exactly what kind of Christmas party you are.
Sunlit cocktails, a long lunch, an intimate dinner, a proper dance floor or something with a little friendly competition. Every team has its own version of a great Christmas party.
Luckily, Alberts has a space to match.
01 / The Golden Hour Crowd
You want: afternoon light, cocktails in hand and a party that feels good from the moment everyone arrives.
This team likes a celebration with room to move. Drinks first, food making the rounds and plenty of time to catch up before the evening decides where it’s going.
Your party probably includes:
- cocktails on arrival
- roaming food
- a very good playlist
- plenty of mingling
- at least one person suggesting another round
Best match: The Club Lounge at 1 Albert Street
Bright, open and filled with natural light, the Club Lounge is made for that late-afternoon-into-evening feeling. With space for up to 150 cocktail-style, it works especially well for larger teams who want the party to feel polished without becoming formal.
Party personality: social, easy-going and always happy to stay for one more.
02 / The Long Lunchers
You want: a beautiful table, generous food and absolutely nowhere else to be.
For this team, Christmas is best celebrated sitting down. Lunch turns into another bottle, another story and eventually the realisation that the afternoon has quietly disappeared.
Your party probably includes:
- a proper shared meal
- wine on the table
- a toast or two
- very little clock-watching
- lunch stretching happily into the afternoon
Best match: The Loft at Formery
The Loft gives you a more intimate, enclosed setting where the table, food and styling can take centre stage. It feels tucked away from the working day, which is exactly the point.
Party personality: food-first, generous and very good at making an afternoon of it.
03 / The Inner Circle
You want: fewer people, a beautiful setting and enough privacy to actually catch up.
Not every Christmas party needs a crowd. Sometimes the best version is closer to a great dinner with the people you’ve spent the year alongside.
Your party probably includes:
- a smaller guest list
- a beautifully set table
- excellent food and wine
- a few thoughtful details
- conversations that last longer than the speeches
Best match: The Library at 1 Albert Street
With room for up to 20 cocktail-style, The Library gives smaller groups a more private setting while still feeling connected to the atmosphere of 1 Albert Street.
Party personality: considered, close-knit and very good company.
04 / The Dance Floor Department
You want: music up, drinks flowing and a night that gets better as it gets later.
This team may arrive looking respectable, but everyone knows dinner is only the opening act.
Your party probably includes:
- cocktails
- roaming food
- a DJ or fiercely curated playlist
- a few unexpected dance-floor stars
- one song that somehow gets played twice
Best match: The Club Lounge at Formery
Where 1 Albert Street brings the light, Formery brings the mood. The Club Lounge has a darker, more atmospheric feel that comes into its own after hours, making it a strong match for drinks, music and a proper evening party.
Party personality: high-energy, after-dark and never first to leave.
05 / The Activity-First Team
You want: something everyone can actually get involved in.
Quiz, tasting, awards, challenge, team competition or something completely unexpected. This team likes a bit of action before the drinks take over.
Your party probably includes:
- a shared activity
- friendly rivalry
- drinks afterwards
- one person becoming alarmingly competitive
- a winner who will absolutely mention it again in January
Best match: The Commons or Theatre at 1 Albert Street
The Theatre works well for presentations, awards or entertainment, while The Commons gives you more flexibility for something interactive before everyone moves into food and drinks.
Party personality: playful, competitive and always ready to get involved.
So, which one are you?
Golden Hour Crowd? Long Luncher? Inner Circle? Dance Floor Department? Or the team that says the Christmas quiz is “just for fun” before immediately forming a strategy?
However your team celebrates, Alberts brings together the space, food, drinks and hospitality to make the end of the year feel properly worth celebrating.
All that’s left is to find your Christmas match.
