The holidays are just around the corner and will arrive sooner than you think. Having a good corporate holiday party is a great way to show appreciation to your employees and give everyone a chance to relax. Here is a checklist to make planning your next corporate holiday party easier and to make the event more successful.
Set the Date and Send Save the Date Notices
The earlier you set the date for the party the better. It is important to plan the date well in advance so that everything else can be planned around this date. The holidays tend to be a very busy time for most and planning the date well in advance will ensure that all or most of your employees and guests will be able to make the event.

Once your turkey has thawed, leave it on the counter for about an hour so that it warms up closer to room temperature before roasting. A thawed turkey is perfectly safe left on the countertop for an hour.
Make sure to season both outside and inside of the cavity. Doing so will season the meat from the inside out.
Using a roasting rack helps keep the bottom of your turkey from steaming and sticking to the bottom of the pan. You can also create your own DIY roasting rack by using a bed celery and carrots, or rolling aluminum foil into logs and placing the turkey on top.
