How To Host A Virtual Christmas Party That Will Wow Your Friends And Coworkers
The holidays are the perfect time to get together with friends, colleagues and coworkers to celebrate the season. With that said, we know that life gets busy around the holidays, and it’s never easy to get everyone in the same place at the same time. But if you can get everyone to agree on the same time, you can ensure that distance isn’t a problem by taking your Christmas party to the digital realm this year. In today’s blog, we share some tips on how you can throw an amazing virtual Christmas party that will wow your friends and coworkers.
Invite All Of Your Party Guests To Wear Their Best Ugly Christmas Sweater To Show Off In Zoom
Even though you won’t all be in the same room, you’ll still be able to see each other’s faces and outfits on the Zoom, so dress up for the occasion! Encourage your guests to pull that ugly Christmas sweater out of the closet or to put on that Santa suit and dress up for the party. You can even make a competition out of it and give away an Amazon or Starbucks gift card to the best or most creative costume. Just be sure you let people know well in advance of the contest so that they have plenty of time to plan their outfit!
Share Your Favorite Eggnog Recipe - Perfect For A Virtual Toast
If you want to toast your friends or family during the party, make sure everyone has a holiday drink nearby! Share your favorite eggnog or Peppermint martini recipe with your guests, or if there are younger children at the party, encourage them to make some hot chocolate or warm apple cider! Holiday drinks can help set the mood for the party, and everyone can share what they are drinking or how they made their favorite drink.
Send Around A Variety Of Christmas Zoom Backgrounds So Your Guests Can Show Off Their Holiday Spirit Virtually
Zoom has a number of default backgrounds that can spice up any party, but there is also an option to upload your own background. Any picture can be converted to a Zoom background, so do a simple Google search and find some pictures that would make for perfect Christmas party backgrounds. Send them out to your guests in advance of the party, or encourage them to find the perfect background on their own so that everyone’s screen has some festive flair.
Play A Festive Virtual Game Or Trivia Round That Will Have People Laughing And Celebrating Together
For the main event, group attendees into teams and have them play a game against one another. We have a number of different mini games like Scavenger Hunt or Survey Says that work perfectly for any size group, or you can go all out and run a trivia event for your group! If you don’t want to organize these games, or if you’d like to take part in the festivities yourself, outsource the games to Bar None Games! We’ve run games from groups of all sizes, and we’d be happy to run a holiday trivia event for your virtual Christmas party this year.
Send A Gift To All Party Attendees By Sending Them Snacks Or Drinks
No holiday party is complete without food and beverages, so have your guests celebrate by making their favorite Christmas dish. Have a cookie decorating contest, or have guests virtually share a meal by making the same foods. If this sounds like a hassle, know that we can take care of this aspect as well! We have a number of different catering options for in-person and virtual gatherings so that all of your guests can eat, drink and be merry.
