From winter wonderland themes to interactive team-building activities, these suggestions will elevate your holiday festivities, fostering unity and joy that will bring your team into the New Year with renewed vigor.
Office Christmas Party Idea #1 – Winter Wonderland Extravaganza
Transform your office or venue, we recommend The Rooftop Lehi, into a magical winter wonderland with twinkling lights, snowflakes, and other seasonal decorations. Encourage your employees to wear cozy sweaters and cater a hot chocolate cart to keep everyone’s insides warm. Add a photo booth with festive props to capture these moments forever!
Office Christmas Party Idea #2 – Secret Santa Gift Exchange
Organize a Secret Santa gift exchange to add an element of surprise to your office celebration. Set a budget that works for everyone, and have each team member draw a name from a hat to determine their gift recipient. This tradition is a fun and lighthearted way to show your thoughtfulness to your co-workers through carefully chosen gifts.
Office Christmas Party Idea #3 – Ugly Sweater Contest
Choose to embrace the tacky side of the holidays by hosting an Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest. Encourage your employees to get creative and don their most outrageous holiday sweaters. Appoint judges or let the entire office vote for the ugliest, yet, most festive, sweater. Offer a special prize to the winner to make it even more exciting!
Office Christmas Party Idea #4 – Holiday Movie Marathon
No better way to get into the holiday spirit than by watching a holiday movie! Consider renting out a room in a local movie theater and selecting a lineup of holiday classics to be featured. Include buttered popcorn, snacks, and beverages to complete the cinematic experience.
Office Christmas Party Idea #5 – Festive Potluck Feast
The food is easily the best part of the holiday season! Celebrate the diversity of your team by organizing a festive potluck feast. Encourage employees to bring dishes that represent their cultural or family traditions. This not only adds a personal touch to the celebration, but also ensures a wide variety of delicious treats for everyone to enjoy.
Office Christmas Party Idea #6 – Christmas Cookie Contest
Host a Christmas Cookie Contest with your team to get into the holiday spirit! Allow each employee to bring in their most scrumptious, creatively decorated holiday cookies. From gingerbread masterpieces to intricately iced sugar cookies, the contest will be a showcase of culinary talent and holiday cheer! Employees can bond over tasting and judging these delectable creations.
Office Christmas Party Idea #7 – Wrapping Love for All
‘Tis the season to give back! A heartwarming and inclusive theme for an office holiday party could be “Wrapping Love for All.” This theme emphasizes the spirit of giving, compassion, and the desire to spread joy during the holiday season! Find families in need in your community and purchase gifts. Then, spend your office Christmas party wrapping gifts!
