Make Your Holiday Party Fun!

Hey friends! The holiday season is sneaking up on us, (I know it's only August) and if you’re already thinking about how to throw the ultimate corporate holiday party, you’re not alone. We’ve all been to those parties that are more “meh” than memorable, but yours doesn’t have to be one of them! Here are five tips to make sure your holiday party is actually fun and leaves everyone feeling merry and bright.

1. Pick a Cool Theme

First up, you need a theme that’ll get people pumped. Think outside the usual “ugly sweater” box! Maybe a cozy winter wonderland, a glamorous Great Gatsby night, or even a tropical beach party to escape the cold. A good theme sets the vibe and gives everyone a reason to get dressed up and excited. Trust me, a theme can turn an ordinary get-together into something people will remember.

2. Get People Involved with Fun Activities

Nobody wants to stand around making small talk all night. Throw in some interactive activities to keep everyone engaged! A photo booth with silly props, a DIY cocktail station, or even a friendly competition like trivia or a scavenger hunt can really liven things up. The goal is to get people moving, laughing, and mingling – way more fun than just standing around.

3. Mix Up the Entertainment

The right entertainment is the secret sauce of any great party. Maybe you bring in a live band or a DJ to get people dancing, or hire a comedian to keep the laughs going. But don’t stop there – set up different zones with different vibes. A game room with classic arcade games or a cozy lounge area can offer something for everyone. The more variety, the more fun people will have.

4. Feed Them Well

Now let’s talk food – one of the best parts of any party. Make sure there’s something for everyone, whether they’re into meat, vegan, or gluten-free options. A mix of passed snacks, food stations where people can grab what they like, and maybe even a sit-down meal if you’re going all out. And don’t forget the drinks! A signature holiday cocktail or mocktail adds a festive twist and keeps the party spirit alive.

And while we are on the topic of drinks, make Mocktails fun and an option. Numbers show that almost 40% of people at a holiday don't drink that's almost half of your guests so make sure to have fun options for all of your guests.

5. Give Back with a Donation

Instead of sending people home with party favors, why not make a donation to a charity on behalf of your company? It’s a meaningful way to show appreciation and spread the holiday spirit. Pick a cause that aligns with your company’s values, or maybe even one that’s close to your team’s hearts. Not only does this make a positive impact, but it also feels great to know your party is doing some good in the world.

Planning a fun corporate holiday party doesn’t have to be complicated. Focus on a cool theme, fun activities, great entertainment, delicious food, and making a difference with a donation. Keep it light, keep it fun, and you’re sure to throw a party that everyone will be talking about long after the holidays are over!
