Get-Together

My preference - an end-of-year get-together. "Get-together" better expresses the idea of "confraternização".

agree William [Bill] Gray : While both might work, this is perhaps the better able to capture the "confraternity" aspecty, but we would never use that word in English!! Get-together is fine: with hyphen (Concise Oxford Dict. 1990).

neutral Clara Duarte : Where does it say it is a Christmas party? The source text mentions parties around Christmas time. And the word 'confraternização' cannot be translate as 'confraternity'. 'Confraternity' in Portuguese means 'Confraria'.

company party

I disagree with get-together sorry all. Se for festa da empresa, there's no other way about it, it's "company (Christmas) party"
"Get-Together" is too informal and doesn't fit here.
