Ice for Christmas & New Year Parties in London
Christmas parties, office drinks and New Year's Eve all need more ice than you think – and supermarket freezers empty fast in December. Here's how to get enough ice delivered in London without the last-minute rush.
How much ice for a Christmas or New Year party?
- Drinks only: about 0.5–1kg of ice per guest.
- Bottles chilling in tubs or a long night: about 1–1.5kg per guest.
- Cocktails: add a bag of crushed ice on top of your cubes.
For 50 guests that's roughly 2–6 bags of 12kg. Full guide: How much ice do I need for a party?

Keeping ice cold over a long night
Keep bags outside or in a cool garage in winter, out of direct heat, and use a cooler or tub for serving. More tips: How long does ice last in a cooler?
