Should an employer be expected to provide one for their employees?
No. And vice versa.
Some companies do give Christmas parties for their employees with free drinks (or just a few free drinks vouchers).
In many cases the senior management may not attend. which to me is an indication of their poor man-management skills.

My team and I all work 100% remotely, so it’s kind of imperative for us to get together at least once a year and add that familiarity/camaraderie.
As much as I love working from home and all the flexibility that goes with it, the lack of physical interaction between staff does become fairly apparent and I think it is central to developing a confident and cohesive team.
At the very least: free food and booze; never won’t be a good thing!!

This is why rooney’s work went 100% remote, to stop him trying to mount and feel up everyone in the office…

There is still a faaacking tank load of booze at British Xmas parties - my colleague this year reckoned he didn’t pay for a drink between 1pm and 8pm and he was off his nut when I last saw him at about 430
