What's Happening in Paradise

As planners and partygoers start circling dates for this year’s holiday celebrations, one thing is clear: festive doesn’t have to mean formal. According to Desiree Tapping, Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake Conroe | Houston Director of Catering Sales, dinner buffets are stealing the spotlight this season. “They’re guest-friendly and help the party flow,” she says. Buffets let guests arrive when they can, fill their plates at their own pace, and keep the mood light and lively.

Food that Entertains: Live Stations & Signature Sips

Want to really impress your crowd? Bring the magic with interactive food stations—carving tables, flaming desserts, and chef-prepared action setups add flavor and flair. And to toast the night? Nothing beats a signature cocktail. This season’s favorite is the poinsettia—a crisp blend of champagne or prosecco, cranberry juice, and a rosemary sprig. Simple, stunning, and so on-theme.

Book Early, Celebrate Smart

Booking trends are as flexible as the menus—some groups lock in their holiday parties a year in advance, while others make it happen just weeks out. But don’t wait too long: prime December weekends go fast. Pro tip? Consider a weekday celebration. Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake Conroe | Houston offers great perks and pricing for off-peak days, with all the same wow factor.

Personal Touches & Big Value

Today’s hosts are thinking beyond food and drinks—they’re branding cocktail napkins, customizing desserts, and adding festive extras like light-up gobos and themed party favors. “You can personalize almost anything, and guests love it,” says Desiree.

But even with all the extras, there’s no need to break the bank. With discounted room blocks, late-night fun at the Boathouse Bar & Lounge, and next-day perks like spa treatments, golf, and lakeside brunch, Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake Conroe | Houston turns your holiday party into a mini vacation.
