The holiday season has a habit of arriving faster than expected, especially when you’re responsible for planning the company party.
For Orlando businesses, families and groups looking for something a little more interactive than the traditional banquet-room celebration, Kings Dining & Entertainment Orlando is already preparing for the 2026 holiday season.
Located at 8255 International Drive, Suite 120, Kings combines dining and drinks with bowling, billiards and arcade games, giving groups the opportunity to turn a holiday dinner into an entire evening out. The Orlando location also specializes in private events, including corporate outings and group celebrations.
Book Early and Unlock Extra Holiday Perks
There is an added reason to start planning early this year.
According to promotional information provided to OrlandoEscape.com, groups that book their holiday party by September 30, 2026 can qualify for special perks based on event spending.
For events spending $2,000 or more, organizers can select one perk. Events spending $10,000 or more can select two perks.
The available choices listed in the promotion include complimentary appetizers, an upgraded bar package, a dessert buffet, Polaroid film for fun, a gift card for the host and caviar service.
The promotion states that it applies to qualifying events hosted from November 15, 2026 through January 15, 2027. Guests should confirm eligibility, restrictions and final details directly with Kings when booking.
Holiday Cheer: A Casual Party Menu
Groups don’t necessarily need a traditional sit-down dinner to celebrate.
One of the 2026 options provided to OrlandoEscape.com is the Holiday Cheer package at $42 per person. It includes four appetizers, one salad, one pizza selection and one slider selection.
Appetizer choices range from mozzarella, tomato and basil skewers and shrimp ceviche to buffalo chicken wontons, chicken empanadas, Korean BBQ meatballs and steak-and-cheese egg rolls.
Groups can then choose from salad options and pizzas before finishing the savory portion of the package with sliders such as cheeseburger, brisket, portobello or hot honey chicken.
Premium appetizer upgrades are also available.
It’s an approachable format for office parties where people would rather mingle, bowl and socialize than spend most of the evening seated around a dinner table.
Let It Roll: A More Traditional Holiday Meal
For groups wanting a more substantial dinner, the materials also feature a Let It Roll package priced at $58 per person.
This option includes a choice of one salad, two sides and two entrées.
Entrée selections listed include roasted chicken with lemon-herb sauce, chicken Parmesan, pan-seared salmon, butternut squash ravioli, pan-seared sliced pork tenderloin, pepper-crusted beef medallions and meatball marinara with cavatappi.
Side options include crispy Brussels sprouts, maple-glazed carrots, four-cheese mac and cheese, roasted seasonal vegetables and rosemary garlic-roasted potatoes.
That flexibility could make the package particularly useful for company celebrations where a larger group may have a range of dining preferences.
Add Something Extra to the Table
Party planners can also customize an event with additional seasonal selections.
The materials supplied to OrlandoEscape.com list pasta dishes, additional entrées and sides that can be incorporated into an event. Premium additions include options such as a New England-style raw bar and carving stations.
There are also appetizer-style boards designed for sharing.
Choices include charcuterie, assorted cheeses, hummus with vegetables and pita bread, and chips with dips. Dessert selections include seasonal fruit, assorted dessert bars, cookies, chocolate-covered strawberries, ice cream cones and an ice cream sundae bar.
Prices and availability can vary by selection, so groups planning a larger event should work directly with the Kings events team on the final menu.
Holiday Drinks and Bar Packages
For adult holiday celebrations, Kings also offers several event bar formats.
The brochure provided to OrlandoEscape.com lists beer-and-wine, call and premium open-bar packages, with pricing based on the length of the event.
Groups can also consider beer and seltzer buckets, selected premium wines, drink tokens or a hosted bar where beverages are billed based on consumption.
Guests may also purchase their beverages individually.
This gives organizers some flexibility when deciding how much of the food and beverage portion of a company celebration they want to include in the event budget.
More Than Dinner: Make Bowling Part of the Party
The biggest difference between Kings and a conventional holiday dinner venue is what happens after everyone finishes eating.
Kings Orlando features interactive bowling, an arcade, billiards and additional games. The venue also has numerous televisions and projection screens, along with AV capabilities for events.
For corporate groups, that creates an easy transition from dinner to an informal team-building experience. Guests can divide into bowling teams, head to the arcade or simply continue socializing over drinks.
Kings also offers a private King Pin Room for groups looking for a more dedicated event space.
An International Drive Location
Location is another consideration when organizing an Orlando company event.
Kings sits along International Drive, placing it within Orlando’s main tourism and convention corridor. The venue’s combination of dining and entertainment also means organizers can keep much of the evening in one location rather than coordinating dinner at one venue and entertainment somewhere else.
Kings says it regularly hosts corporate outings, private events, birthdays and family gatherings at its Orlando location.
For groups coming from outside the area, the International Drive location also makes it convenient to combine a holiday event with an Orlando hotel stay.
Planning a 2026 Holiday Party at Kings Orlando
The holidays may still feel a long way off, but popular dates for company parties can disappear quickly once November and December approach.
Groups considering Kings this year may want to start by determining an estimated guest count, preferred date, food package and whether bowling or other entertainment will be part of the celebration.
Kings provides an event inquiry form where organizers can submit the event date, preferred times, type of event and number of guests.
With the 2026 early-booking promotion running through September 30, planning sooner could also open the door to additional event perks.
For OrlandoEscape.com readers searching for a holiday celebration that mixes food, drinks and entertainment rather than another traditional office dinner, Kings Orlando offers an option worth considering.
