Ideas for a Holiday Office Party

1. Themed office party

A theme party such as Santa Claus and elves at Christmas time can be a nice idea. This can turn on the light of happiness in all colleagues. So, it could be the perfect team-building movement if you are the boss.

2. Christmas, Easter or Thanksgiving decorations for the office party

Decorating for Christmas, Easter or Thanksgiving is one of the most enjoyable activities. When the whole area is decked out with lights, it’s hard not to feel at least a little spark of magic. So, setting a day and time to hang decorations and getting the whole team involved can help make decorating even more enjoyable.

3. Host a treasure hunt or gaming event

Contests or themed games will undoubtedly stimulate everyone to participate. In fact, there are many other ideas. For example, one is organizing a treasure hunt by grouping colleagues into small teams and placing the clues inside the office. Just remember to thank them by giving the winning team a gift and the losing team a consolation prize.

4. Dinner

The more traditional Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving dinner appeals to everyone. So, you can bring your team together and invite them to participate. Actually, this is suitable for team building exercises where everyone can help with something of their own to the celebration.

5. Secret Santa’s annual gift exchange

With respect to Christmas, without Secret Santa, there is no point in celebrating Christmas at work. Although it is essential to be creative in Christmas celebrations, it is necessary to respect established holiday customs such as these. The truth is that without them, Christmas wouldn’t be the same. In addition, Secret Santa is a great way to bring together colleagues from different teams. Also, ensure that everyone receives a gift during the holidays as well. You should prepare business cards for everyone and let them choose one. They will have to be the Secret Santa of the card they chose.

6. Taking employees on a field trip

A new way to celebrate a holiday is to take your employees on a day out and away from the office. Fun chats at lunch tables are one of the oldest forms of human tradition around the world. Enjoy the time with your teammates while you dine out and discuss the team’s efforts. Another great idea is wine tasting, a magical time exploring the area’s finest wineries accompanied by a food and wine tour.

7. Cocktail office party

Another typically useful idea is the cocktail party. This is actually an idea that is perfectly suited for those who want to throw a corporate party for just half a day. It gives the chance to spend less money by focusing on entertaining their guests.

Conclusion

Company parties are held to celebrate some special occasions related to the company’s business. Let your employees enjoy the party together, instead of making them feel like outsiders. So, what you should do is make everyone feel included when you throw an office holiday party.
