## Running an office Christmas potluck

Expect sign-ups to arrive late: on SignupKit potluck sheets the median guest signed up 6 days before the event, and 37% signed up in the final three days (223 sign-ups, April 2026 to September 2026).

- Hold it in the second or third week of December, before people start taking time off
- Post the sign-up link in Slack or Teams two weeks ahead
- Ask whether each dish needs the microwave or an outlet, and plan the break room around it
- Keep the theme neutral if the office is mixed ("holiday potluck") while the menu stays Christmas
- Add a Secret Santa or cookie swap to the same sheet as separate slots
