With 100 days to go until Christmas, Zizzi has opened bookings for 2026 festive celebrations and unveiled its Christmas menu for the season ahead.
The restaurant group is encouraging customers to start planning Christmas gatherings with friends, family and colleagues, as bookings get underway ahead of the busiest weeks of the festive period.
Zizzi’s Christmas menu will be available from 17 November, with two courses priced at £24.95 and three courses at £29.95.
The menu features festive takes on Zizzi dishes, including a Pigs in Blanket Bombe, Black Truffle Arancini, Cranberry & prosciutto Roast Chicken and Lobster & Five Cheese Casareccia.
The Pigs in Blanket Bombe combines a pig in a blanket, pork and chestnut stuffing, wild cranberry sauce, Riserva cheese and hot honey with one of Zizzi’s garlic bombes.
The Black Truffle Arancini is served with a hot cheesy fondue dip, while the Cranberry & prosciutto Roast Chicken is accompanied by green beans, kale and spinach, with a choice of cheesy baked gnocchi or crispy Riserva potatoes.
For vegan diners, the menu includes Vegan Baked Gnocchi with baby plum tomatoes, spinach, Calabrese sauce, Genovese pesto and lemon and herb pangrattato.
The festive menu also includes a Pistachio Christmas Tree for dessert, made with milk chocolate mousse and a pistachio crème centre inside a white chocolate Christmas tree-shaped shell.
Zizzi said its usual autumn-winter menu will remain available alongside the Christmas menu, including options for diners who do not celebrate the festive period.
To mark the launch, the first 100 groups to book a Christmas celebration at Zizzi will have the chance to receive a complimentary Magnum of Prosecco to enjoy with their meal, subject to the promotion’s terms and availability.
The booking launch coincides with Zizzi’s new Christmas advertising campaign, which focuses on the organisation involved in bringing groups together during the festive season, including accommodating different dietary requirements and food preferences.
Corinne Prior, Brand and Customer Experience Director at Zizzi, said the festive period could involve considerable organisation for those arranging meals for family, friends and colleagues.
“It’s never too early to make your booking,” she said, as the restaurant group encourages customers to begin making their Christmas plans.
With the countdown to Christmas now underway, Zizzi’s festive bookings offer an early opportunity for groups to get their end-of-year celebrations in the diary.
Zizzi has restaurants in Oxford, Henley and Aylesbury, offering local diners the option to book festive celebrations in Oxfordshire this Christmas.
