Corporate holiday parties allow people to celebrate the season while bonding with their team. To ensure your corporate event is as fun and relaxing as possible, it’s important to plan activities that everyone can enjoy. Here are three exciting ideas that will help you take your end-of-the-year bash to the next level. 

Ways to Make Corporate Holiday Parties Fun

1. Host a Trivia Contest

Turn a run-of-the-mill gathering into a memorable event with a holiday trivia contest. Divided into teams, guests will try their best to answer questions about Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and other December holidays. Questions can revolve around history, music, movies, and anything else associated with the festivities. Don’t forget to pick up some nice prizes for the winners, such as gift cards, coffee mugs, or sweet treats. 

2. Simplify the Gift Exchange

Many corporate holiday parties feature a Secret Santa gift exchange. While swapping presents is a classic component of any festive event, some team members may not know each other well enough to choose the right gifts. Luckily, you can simplify the exchange by asking each participant to submit a list of their interests, which will guide the person shopping for them. 

3. Hold a Tradition Show & Tell  

Holiday parties aren’t just about games and gifts; they also let guests get to know each other better. You can facilitate deeper connections by hosting a holiday tradition show and tell in which guests take turns sharing their favorite festive memories and traditions. Make sure people know about it ahead of time so they can bring pictures, food, or other items related to their traditions if they wish.
