6 Christmas Party Ideas
Many people look forward to the Christmas party all year round. It’s the time of the year when everyone is in high spirits, feeling the Christmas joy and looking to let their hair down.
Christmas parties are exciting but can be difficult to plan, especially when you want to ensure everyone enjoys them. That’s why we’ve pulled together a list of ideas, to help you plan the best Christmas party.
1. Wine-tasting or cocktail making
Wine tasting and/or cocktail making is a great work Christmas party activity that’ll keep everyone entertained. Although, it’s important to provide alcohol-free options for those not drinking.
Many places offer wine-tasting and/or cocktail-making sessions led by sommeliers and mixologists. This activity is a great blend of interaction and sophistication that gets everyone involved, helping to create memories that last forever.
2. Christmas party games night
Hosting a games night is a great way to get everyone involved and encourage some friendly competition. Whether you’re hosting it at the office or going out to an arcade there are many games you can implement at your next Christmas party.
For those looking to host an office activities night, you could:
- Make a gingerbread house.
- Host a murder mystery party.
- Play secret Santa.
- Do a Christmas quiz.
- Decorate Christmas cookies.
Another great option is to host your party at an arcade or games bar. This enables you to play a range of games you can’t play in the office, such as bowling and axe throwing. Game bars are a great way to encourage team bonding and relaxation. The variety of multiplayer games improves collaboration and enhances team relationships.
Giving all members of staff the opportunity to interact in a relaxed environment with no hierarchical barriers allows new friendships to blossom and lasting memories to be created.
Birmingham has an excellent variety of games places you can host your next Christmas party at, including:
3. Karaoke night
Karaoke is a fun Christmas party idea. Get everyone to choose their favourite songs and sing their heart out. Karaoke brings everyone together to bond over music and share laughter. It’s an excellent way to get everyone involved whether it’s through cheering colleagues on or singing, without alcohol needing to be involved. With 38% of 16-24-year-olds and 21% of 25-34-year-olds not drinking, it’s important to host a party that includes non-alcoholic options.
You can either rent a karaoke machine and host it in your office or hire out a karaoke venue.
4. Paint and sip night
Paint and sip parties are becoming increasingly popular with them trending on TikTok and Instagram reels. You can host a canvas painting party or decorate baubles or wine glasses all of which can be tailored to a Christmas theme.
This is a great option for both in person and online parties as equipment can be sent to your staff’s homes ahead of time. This is excellent for companies with employees all around the world as you can still get together regardless of where you are! It’s also a great opportunity to share what the team gets up to on social media
5. Escape Room
Escape rooms are a great way to get everyone to work together and show off their skills. This is ideal for smaller companies, but if you have enough people to set up multiple teams, a competition could be created to see who escapes the quickest. This will create a bit of friendly competition and you could even set up a prize for the winning team.
