Friendsmas is back for 2026
Christmas is better with your favourite people, and Friendsmas is the perfect excuse to eat, drink and be ridiculously merry. Whether you’re planning a festive feast, a coffee catch-up or a little friendly competition, there are plenty of ways to make a day of it.
Here’s your Kingston guide to doing Friendsmas in style.
Festive Food
Costa Coffee: For the catch-ups that turn into all-day chats
Consider this your official excuse to get the group together over something sweet. Costa’s festive menu includea the Caramel Nutcracker range, Golden Hazel Latte and Ultimate Yule Brownie Chocolate range.
Coffee first, Christmas shopping later!
PizzaExpress: For the whole gang around one table
Big group? Bigger appetites? PizzaExpress has your Friendsmas feast covered.

Five Guys: For fuelling up before the fun
Heading to the cinema or gearing up for an escape-room? A Five Guys pit stop is always a good shout. And the big question: will the Candy Cane Crunch milkshake mix-in make a comeback this Christmas?
Keep an eye on our social media for updates.
Kung Fu: For friends who believe sharing is caring
Some catch-ups need more than a coffee and a catch-up. Enter Kung Fu, where you can settle in for a Chinese all-you-can-eat feast, chat for hours and go back for just one more plate. With brilliant offers and deals to explore, it’s a tasty way to bring the whole group together.
All The Festive Fun
ODEON: For a little cinematic Christmas magic
Sometimes the best Friendsmas plan is getting cosy, grabbing the popcorn and letting a Christmas film do the heavy lifting. Whether you’re here for festive favourites, feel-good rom-coms or a big-screen blockbuster, ODEON is made for movie dates with your mates.

Kingston Escape Rooms: For friends who want to put their friendship to the test
Think you know your mates? Lock yourselves in, crack the clues and see who’s the brains of the group - and who’s just there for moral support. An escape room is a brilliant way to add a little friendly rivalry to your Friendsmas plans.
Tenpin: For a little healthy competition
Pick your teams and let the festive rivalry begin. Tenpin brings the laughs, the competition and the perfect excuse to make a whole day of it.
