A holiday party lives or dies on the food, so choosing the right package is worth getting right. Bowlero keeps it simple with four holiday party packages: The Joy, The Jolly, The Cheer, and The Holiday Bash. Each one is pre-set and built to match your crew and your budget, bundling bowling, food, and drinks into a single booking so you get a great party without planning every detail yourself. Here is how they stack up.
How the packages work
The four packages scale right along with your celebration. The Joy is the easy starting point, and each step up, The Jolly, then The Cheer, then The Holiday Bash, adds more food, more time on the lanes, and a better bar. Every package includes bowling with shoe rental, so all you have to do is pick the one that fits your crew and show up. Specific menu items and pricing can vary by location, so check with your local center for the final details.
The Joy
The Joy covers everything you need for a festive celebration. It includes 2 hours of bowling with shoe rental, plus unlimited pizza, Bavarian pretzels with cinnamon apple butter, classic wings, and french fries. Each guest also gets 2 beverage tickets. It is the easy, crowd-pleasing pick for a laid-back group that just wants good food and a good time.
The Jolly
The Jolly turns things up with more delicious bites, premium drinks, and extra holiday cheer. It includes 2 hours of bowling with shoe rental and an unlimited spread of pizza, Bavarian pretzels, classic wings, cheeseburger sliders, french fries, and funnel cake fries, plus 2 premium drink tickets per guest. It is the go-to middle package for most group parties.
The Cheer
The Cheer brings an unlimited buffet, a premium bar, and more time to celebrate. It steps up to 2.5 hours of bowling with shoe rental and an unlimited buffet of salad, pizza, Bavarian pretzels, classic wings, cheeseburger sliders, french fries, and a dessert sampler, all paired with a Premium Bar Package. It is a strong pick when you want the crew to eat, drink, and settle in.
The Holiday Bash
The Holiday Bash is the best-value, pull-out-all-the-stops package, an elevated dining experience with a signature bar and a menu tailored to your team. It includes 2.5 hours of bowling with shoe rental, Bavarian pretzels with cinnamon apple butter, and chips and salsa to start, then a build-your-own menu: choose 1 salad, 1 starter, 2 entrees, 1 side, and 1 dessert, all served with a Signature Bar Package. The specific choices vary by location, so you can tailor the spread to your crew. It is built for a marquee celebration where the food is part of the show.
Make it your own
If a set package is not quite the right fit, most centers also offer a holiday party catering menu with shareable plates, entrees, and a la carte options so you can customize the spread. Because the lineup and pricing vary by center, pull up the Location Finder to see exactly what is available at your local Bowlero.
Book your holiday party
Once you have landed on a package, grab your date before the season books up. Check out holiday party packages, look into a social event for a bigger crew, and reserve your lanes to lock it in. Holiday events typically run from early November through late January, with booking windows that vary by location.
