Tell us about your Christmas party and we'll help you find the entertainment that fits. Make Your Christmas Party Unforgettable

The best part of the Christmas party shouldn't be waiting for the next thing to happen.

Most work Christmas parties follow a familiar pattern.

Drinks.

Dinner.

A bit of waiting.

People talking to the colleagues they already know.

A few people checking their phones.

Then that awkward gap before the entertainment or music starts.

That's where the energy can disappear.

The right entertainment changes that.

A magician can get people talking during arrival drinks.

A singer can transform the atmosphere while guests dine.

A comedian can give everyone a shared laugh after dinner.

A live band can turn the room into a party.

A DJ can take things into the early hours.

And a great MC can keep the whole evening moving.

The important thing isn't simply what you book.

It's what you want your guests to experience.

Christmas Party Entertainment That Works Around Your Event

Not every Christmas party needs the same entertainment.

That's why Beyond The Magic doesn't start with a list of acts.

We start with your event.

Your venue.

Your guests.

Your running order.

And what you want the evening to feel like.

A complete entertainment package

Different entertainment at different points of the night, all planned around your running order. Christmas Party Entertainment Ideas That Actually

Work

Six ways to make your Christmas party more memorable.

1. Close-Up Magic During Arrival Drinks

The first part of a Christmas party can be surprisingly awkward.

People arrive in small groups.

Departments mix.

Some people know everyone.

Others barely know anyone outside their own team.

A close-up magician or mind reader gives people an immediate reason to stop, watch, laugh and talk. The entertainment becomes the icebreaker.

2. Live Singer During Dinner

If you want something more sophisticated, live music can transform the atmosphere.

A vocalist can provide relaxed entertainment while guests eat and talk, before increasing the energy later in the evening.

It's a great way to make the room feel like an occasion without interrupting dinner.

3. After-Dinner Comedy

Once dinner and speeches are finished, the energy can dip.

That's where a comedian can come in.

A professional comedy set gives everyone one shared experience and creates a natural bridge between dinner and the party.

4. Comedy Magic Or Mind Reading Show

Want something a little different?

A stage magician, mind reader or comedy performer can bring the entire room together for a shared performance.

It can be visual.

Interactive.

Funny.

And completely unexpected.

5. Live Band

When it's time to celebrate, nothing beats the atmosphere of a great live band.

A strong band can take the room from polite applause to a packed dance floor surprisingly quickly. 6. DJ & Party Entertainment

Once the formal part of the evening is finished, a DJ can keep the party going.

And if you want something more memorable than simply pressing play, you can combine the DJ with live musicians, singers or other performers.

The Running Order

What Could Happen At Your Christmas Party

1. Arrival

Give guests something to do immediately.

Guests arrive.

They grab a drink.

They find their colleagues.

This is where close-up magic, mind reading or roaming entertainment can work brilliantly. It gets conversations started before dinner has even begun.

2. Drinks & Networking

Help different groups mix.

Instead of everyone standing with the same people they work with every day, interactive entertainment gives guests a reason to move around and interact.

The result?

More conversation.

More laughter.

More people getting involved.

3. Dinner

Create atmosphere without interrupting the meal.

Depending on the venue and running order, you could use:

• Live vocals
• Piano
• Acoustic guitar
• Table entertainment
• Background music

The entertainment should complement the dinner rather than compete with it.

4. Speeches & Awards

Keep the formalities moving.

If your Christmas party includes awards, speeches, raffles or Secret Santa, a professional MC can help keep everything organised and maintain the energy in the room.

5. After Dinner

Give everyone a reason to look up.

This is the perfect opportunity for a shared performance.

A comedian.

A magician.

A mind reader.

A vocalist.

Or another stage act.

Something that gets everyone watching the same thing at the same time.

6. Party Time

Now it's time to turn the volume up.

Live band.

Party vocalist.

DJ.

Or a combination.

The formal part is over.

Now the room becomes a party.

Every Kind Of Christmas Event

Corporate Christmas Parties

Bring the whole company together.

Christmas parties are often one of the few times of year when everyone from different departments is in the same room.

That makes entertainment particularly valuable.

Ideal for:

• Hotel Christmas parties
• Company celebrations
• Awards evenings
• Christmas dinners
• Office parties
• Large corporate functions
• Client Christmas events

Whether you have 20 guests or several hundred, we can help find entertainment suited to the room. Team & Department Christmas Dinners

Smaller doesn't mean you need less entertainment.

A private dining room with 15–40 guests can be perfect for close-up magic, mind reading, live music or comedy.

Because everyone is close together, entertainment can feel more personal and interactive. Private Christmas Parties

Make your Christmas celebration feel like an occasion.

Family Christmas parties.

Friends.

Private dining.

House parties.

Milestone celebrations.

Whatever you're planning, the right entertainment can turn a gathering into something people remember.

Christmas Party Entertainment FAQs

What is the best entertainment for a corporate Christmas party?

There isn't one answer for every event.

For example, close-up magic or mind reading can work particularly well during arrival drinks because it gets people interacting, while comedy, a stage show or live music can create a shared experience later in the evening.

The best choice depends on your guest numbers, venue, running order and the atmosphere you want to create.

How much does Christmas party entertainment cost?

Every event is different.

The cost depends on the performer, entertainment format, event size, timings, location and whether you want one act or several types of entertainment.

Tell us your date, venue and approximate guest numbers and we'll recommend suitable options and provide a tailored quote.

When should we book Christmas party entertainment?

Christmas dates can fill surprisingly early, particularly Fridays and Saturdays in December. If you're planning for December 2026 or December 2027, it's worth checking availability as soon as you have your date.

The earlier you book, the more choice you'll generally have.

Do you provide Christmas party entertainment across the UK?

Yes.

Beyond The Magic works with professional entertainers across the UK, allowing us to provide entertainment for Christmas parties in London, the South East, the Midlands, the North, Scotland, Wales and beyond.

Will entertainment work in a noisy Christmas party?

It depends on the entertainment.

Close-up magic and mind reading can work particularly well in busy rooms because the performer can move directly between groups.

For larger stage performances, the venue's sound system, layout and acoustics need to be considered.

We'll help you choose something appropriate for the environment.

Can you provide more than one entertainer?

Yes.

This is one of the advantages of booking through an entertainment agency.

You could have:

• A magician during arrival drinks
• then
• A singer during dinner
• then
• A comedian or stage performer after dinner
• then

A band or DJ for the party.

The entertainment can be designed around the whole evening.
