Carbs, Wine, & Chill: Your Low-Key Christmas Party at Posto
Not every holiday party needs turkey and tinsel — sometimes, pizza and wine are all you need. Posto is our “Laid-Back Pizza & Wine Christmas,” where the atmosphere is relaxed, the food is top-tier, and the party is just plain fun.
Whether you’re bringing your work fam or your real fam, Posto is the perfect setting for teams who want to gather without the stress. With fire oven pizza, fresh pastas, and approachable vibes, Posto makes it easy to raise a glass and toast the season.
Available for semi-private dinners, full buyouts, or even offsite catering, this is the “effortlessly cool” way to celebrate.

Every family’s got those cousins. The ones who turn up the music and bring the party.
The holidays just wouldn’t be the same without that crew — the ones who turn every gathering into a good-time legend. At The Rose & Crown, we like to think of ourselves as the home base for those rowdy cousins. This Christmas, we’re turning the volume up with live music, late-night laughs, and pints that just keep coming.
No dress code, no pretense — just great pub food, local beer, and the kind of festive chaos that makes for the best memories. Whether you’re raising a glass after a ski day in Banff or starting a new holiday tradition with your favourite people, The Rowdy Cousins’ Christmas is all about celebrating together, loud and proud.
