Bringing Magic, Nostalgia, and Indulgence to the Festive Table: Inside Select Group’s 2026 Christmas Collections

As the year draws to a close, festive celebrations in Singapore are defined by the warmth of gathering with loved ones, friends, and colleagues over a generous spread of food. Yet, orchestrating a seasonal feast often brings a familiar seasonal dilemma: should the table stay faithful to time-honoured holiday classics, or lean into decadent, once-a-year indulgences?

This year, leading food service provider Select Group resolves that question with a festive proposition: why choose between comfort and extravagance when the table can hold both?

Unveiling its Christmas 2026 collection, Select Group presents a tripartite culinary showcase across its three distinctive catering arms: the premier Halal-certified Stamford Catering, the trusted heritage caterer Select Catering, and the artisanal luxury grazing brand Lush Platters. Spanning traditional roasts, creative seafood claypots, interactive DIY drink stations, individual executive bentos, and theatrical grazing displays, the 2026 festive portfolio ensures that whether one is planning an intimate home dinner or a 100-guest corporate gala, there is a tailored spread ready to elevate the occasion.

Stamford Catering: “A Touch of Magic, A Table of Delights”

With more than a quarter-century of catering excellence in Singapore, Stamford Catering has long been a trusted household name for major national celebrations, sporting events, and corporate milestones. For Christmas 2026, the Halal-certified caterer rolls out its thematic concept, “A Touch of Magic, A Table of Delights”.

The collection captures the nostalgia of childhood holiday traditions while introducing bold, contemporary culinary twists. The spread is designed around versatile formats: full buffets for large gatherings (minimum 30 persons), convenient mini buffets (minimum 15 persons), dedicated festive party bundles for groups of 8 to 10, corporate individual bento boxes, and an expansive à la carte side order menu featuring 26 festive dishes.

Four Festive Party Bundles (8 to 10 Guests)

Stamford Catering’s four festive bundles take inspiration from Santa’s reindeers, offering four distinct styles of celebrating:

  • Rudolph’s Favourite Bundle (S$308+):The ultimate crowd-pleaser for lively parties. The centerpiece of this spread is the Roasted Firecracker Peri Peri Turkey with Charred Citrus, where whole turkey is brined for 24 hours before being flame-charred alongside citrus halves until its skin develops a crisp, mahogany patina. It is supported by a rich, gooey Classic Beef Lasagne, smoky Brazilian Churrasco Mid Wings, a savoury Gourmet Sausage Platter, and a dessert finale of Dark Chocolate Cranberry Croissant Bake paired with a bright Berry-Orange Compote.
  • Prancer’s Deluxe Bundle (S$368+):Tailored for elevated gatherings that call for refined dining. The menu highlights a succulent Roasted Beef Ribeye boasting a caramelised crust and tender pink centre, rested over velvety pumpkin mash and served with rosemary gravy. Seafood takes centre stage alongside with the Pink Peppercorn Crusted Atlantic Salmon accompanied by garden herb pesto, balanced by a light, aromatic Baked Cauliflower “Rice” tossed with petit pois, sweet raisins, and fragrant citrus zest.
  • Dasher’s Value Bundle (S$268+):A comforting, home-style feast at an accessible price point. The traditional centerpiece is a 24-hour brined Traditional Roast Turkey served with classic chestnut stuffing, rich pan gravy, and tart cranberry compote. Rounding out the table is an artisanal Gourmet Sausage Platter, a shareable Nacho Platter, comforting Triple Cheese Turkey Mac & Cheese, and a nostalgic Classic Bread & Butter Pudding.
  • Blitzen’s Traditional Bundle (S$268+):Honouring classic English comfort dishes, this bundle retains the Traditional Roast Turkey and shareable Nacho Platter while introducing Baked Butter Mid Wings with Summer Truffle Crumble, an authentic hearty Chicken Shepherd’s Pie, and the Classic Bread & Butter Pudding.

The Christmas Feasts & Corporate Bentos

For larger receptions, Stamford Catering’s themed buffet feasts offer three distinct culinary journeys:

  • Twinkle’s Enchanted Feast:Opens with the colourful Holly Jolly Delights Platter (honey chicken ham, turkey ham, and smoked duck), followed by fragrant Oven Roasted Chicken with citrus key lime, succulent Grilled Prawns with Roast Peppers and Maltaise Sauce, and cranberry-studded Turmeric Butter Herb Pilaf Rice.
  • Jingle’s Jolly Feast:Centred on a Mistletoe Morsels Charcuterie Board with aged Swiss Emmental and berry compote, leading into a bold Tangy Chilli Sauce Seafood Stew and slow-cooked Blackcurrant Braised Beef with tender root vegetables and cranberries.
  • Sparkle’s Spectacular Feast:The most luxurious feast of the trio, pairing a Merry Maker Charcuterie Board (featuring Camembert de Normandie and smoked duck) with Chicken Roulade stuffed with roasted chestnuts and orange cranberry sauce, Roasted Broccolini with baby carrots and crispy garlic, and Seafood Orecchiette coated in a Thermidor-style crustacean cream.

To cater to corporate office functions and hybrid teams where individual dining is preferred, Stamford Catering has translated its signature recipes into three eco-packaged Corporate Bentos:

  • Twinkle’s Enchanted Bento (S$18+ per person): Spaghetti Aglio Olio served with Oven Roasted Chicken and tender Baked Barramundi.
  • Jingle’s Jolly Bento (S$22+ per person): Rich Blackcurrant Braised Beef paired with Oven Baked Salmon topped with a silky Yuzu Emulsion.
  • Very Merry Vegan Bento (S$18+ per person): Mindfully crafted for plant-forward diners, featuring savoury Plant-Based Meatballs in Salsa Di Pomodoro alongside Roasted Broccolini and sweet baby carrots.

Select Catering: “Gather, Feast, Rejoice”

Select Catering has been an integral part of Singapore’s culinary fabric since 1991. Widely celebrated for its nutritious daily Tingkat meal deliveries and traditional banquet services, the brand channels over thirty years of heritage into its festive theme, “Gather, Feast, Rejoice”.

The concept focuses on generous, heart-warming dishes that evoke nostalgic comfort while delivering satisfying holiday indulgence across two signature festive bundles, 23 à la carte side items, and two expansive buffet menus.

Two Hearty Festive Bundles (8 to 10 Guests)

  • Frosty’s Favourite Bundle (S$248+):A classic holiday setup featuring the Traditional Roast Turkey brined for 24 hours, rubbed with fragrant Creole herbs, and roasted until golden crisp. It is accompanied by a festive Pork Sausages Platter, a shareable Nacho Platter, decadent Triple Cheese Turkey Mac & Cheese, and warm Bread & Butter Pudding.
  • Frosty’s Indulgence Bundle (S$228+):Designed for diners who love rich, crackling roasts. The headline attraction is a Crispy Pork Belly, slow-simmered for four hours before being roasted to achieve blistered, shatteringly crisp skin. It is served alongside buttered Brussels sprouts, bacon sauerkraut, and a tangy apple-cinnamon chutney. The Traditional Roast Turkey, shareable Nacho Platter, Chicken Shepherd’s Pie, and Classic Bread & Butter Pudding complete this feast.

Select Catering’s Grand Buffets

For multi-generational family unions and company banquets, Select Catering offers two grand spreads:

  • Merry White Feast:Begins with the Holly Deli Delights Platter, progressing into fragrant Oven Roasted Chicken, delicate Baked Barramundi in savoury bonito soy sauce, and melt-in-the-mouth Slow-Roasted Pork Ribs braised for three hours in aromatic garlic-rosemary stock.
  • Winter Wonderland Feast:Opens with a crisp, refreshing Christmas Waldorf Salad composed of sweet Fuji apples, celery, seedless grapes, and toasted nuts. The main courses feature Oven Baked Salmon in a velvety Yuzu Emulsion, a bubbling Seafood Flambé Brandy Au Gratin under a bronzed cheese crust, and tender BBQ Pork Ribs paired with caramelised grilled pineapples.

Diners can also customise their tables from a 23-dish à la carte menu, including the Roasted Firecracker Peri Peri Turkey with Charred Citrus (S$138+), Barbecue Glazed Spare Ribs with potato wedges (S$78+), and Pink Peppercorn Crusted Atlantic Salmon (S$88+).

Lush Platters: “The Table Is the Centrepiece”

Founded in 2018, Lush Platters pioneered Singapore’s luxury grazing culture, elevating catering into visual art. Operating under the 2026 festive narrative “The Table Is the Centrepiece,” Lush Platters transforms the dining table from a mere serving surface into the focal point of the party.

The Signature Festive Grazing Tables

Lush Platters’ grazing spreads spill across wooden boards, marble slabs, and risers, adorned with artisanal cheeses, pure golden honeycomb, artisanal fig preserves, and a hand-rolled Cranberry, Pistachio & Herb Cheese Ball. Every installation is crowned by an intricate, hand-iced gingerbread house set amidst ambient candlelight, spiced fruit mince pies, and festive shortbread cookies.

The grazing experience scales from 20 to 100 guests and is offered in two curated aesthetics:

  • The Sustainable Flat Lay: Presented over organic banana leaves and pressed palm-leaf platters, providing an eco-conscious yet chic presentation for relaxed, informal gatherings.
  • The Elevated + Layered Tablescape: Tiered across natural timber, sculpted marble, and fine ceramics, creating an architectural installation suited for formal celebrations, luxury brand showcases, and executive receptions.

Lush Platters provides a comprehensive end-to-end service: their professional styling team handles delivery, floral curation, display setup, printed menu labelling, and subsequent post-event tear-down.
