Holiday Chef Bali -- Christmas, New Year & Festive Season myCHEF

Christmas Eve Dinner -- The evening before Christmas is one of the season's most significant meals. We deliver everything from intimate dinners for two to family feasts for 20: canapes and pre-dinner drinks, a structured multi-course meal, and dessert. Our chefs can produce a traditional European Christmas Eve seafood dinner, a classic roast, or a fusion menu that reflects where you are.

Christmas Day Lunch or Dinner -- The main event. Turkey or goose with all the trimmings -- roast potatoes, stuffing, glazed vegetables, gravy, cranberry sauce, bread sauce -- all executed properly, in your villa kitchen, served at your table. Alternatively, a modern Australian or European Christmas Day lunch (seafood, BBQ, lighter), a Balinese feast, or a fully custom menu. We adapt to what Christmas means to your family.

New Year's Eve Celebration Dinner -- A premium multi-course dinner timed to build through the evening, culminating before or at midnight. We design a menu that treats the occasion as what it is: the night of the year that most demands exceptional food. Champagne service, canapes on arrival, a progressive menu, and dessert at midnight.

New Year's Day Recovery -- Brunch service for New Year's Day: eggs every way, stacks of pancakes, fresh juice, restorative Indonesian noodle soups, healthy bowls. Our chefs are well practised at the NYD morning-after brunch.

Festive Season Daily Service -- For families spending the full festive period (December 20--January 5) in Bali, we offer daily chef service: breakfast and dinner every day, with a changing menu to reflect the festive mood. A live-in or recurring daily chef who becomes part of the household for the holiday.

Festive Canapes and Cocktail Parties -- For villa gatherings with friends, neighbours, or business contacts during the festive period: professional canapes served by our team, cocktail bartenders, and a grazing table or buffet.

Festive season bookings in Bali are the most time-sensitive of the year. The best chefs are committed by mid-November. Specific ingredients -- turkey, imported meats, premium seafood -- need to be ordered weeks in advance.

When to book: We recommend confirming your festive chef booking by 30 November for Christmas period. For New Year's Eve specifically, October--November is the safest window for the best chef selection.

What to tell us: Your dates (including any additional meals outside the main event), your villa area, group size and composition (adults, children, dietary restrictions), and the type of menu you are looking for.

Turkey ordering: For traditional roast turkey, we coordinate sourcing from Bali's specialist suppliers and order your bird well in advance. Tell us your group size and we handle the rest.

Daily service for the period: If you want a chef for the full festive stay rather than individual meals, our festive package covers daily service with a rotating menu and the flexibility to adjust as the holiday unfolds.

We cover the full range of Bali's villa areas during the festive season.

Seminyak and Petitenget -- Bali's most popular festive destination. Large villa compounds, family groups, sophisticated guests. Our most-requested area for Christmas and New Year bookings.

Canggu and Pererenan -- Popular with younger families, expat groups, and creative professionals spending the holidays in Bali. Our daily service offering is particularly well suited here.

Uluwatu and Bukit -- Cliff villas with extraordinary NYE settings. A myCHEF New Year's Eve dinner on an Uluwatu terrace, with the ocean below, is one of Bali's most memorable ways to welcome the new year.

Ubud -- For families who prefer a quieter, more spiritual festive experience. Jungle villas, traditional Balinese architecture, and a menu that draws on Ubud's excellent local produce.

Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, and Sanur -- Family-oriented villa areas with excellent domestic logistics. Good options for larger family groups who prioritise ease of access and family-friendly environments.
