Running an online Christmas party
For a warm close to the year, online and still personal.
An active format
An online Christmas party works when there's room for meeting, relaxing and telling stories.
Online Christmas drinks don't have to be a compromise. We design online Christmas parties full of energy, humour and real connection: with escape rooms, live entertainment, quiz games and social spaces where people can meet each other freely.
Closing the year together
A good online Christmas party gives attention to what has happened, what deserves celebrating and who contributed to it.
Experiencing, not broadcasting
Not a speech with an audience, but an evening in which people do something together. Games, entertainment and room for a proper conversation.
Built around your atmosphere
From compact online Christmas drinks to a full end-of-year party: we design the programme so that it fits the culture of the organisation.
In practice
Three examples. Years of experience.
Team partyA Christmas quiz and informal tables
A team wants to close the year together online without long speeches. We build a cheerful programme with short plenary moments, quiz rounds and free time to meet.
Large organisationAn end-of-year party with suppliers
For a large and varied group we design end-of-year conversations with a splendid drinks reception afterwards. Participants choose for themselves between talking in a pub or joining the quiz.
CooperativeA Christmas gathering with atmosphere
A group of companies wants to pause at Christmas over the intense year behind them. With room for reflection, storytelling and quieter themed rooms, there's space for the real conversation.

What a successful running an online christmas party needs.
01
Starting in good time
In November and December diaries fill up fast. A good online Christmas party therefore asks for early booking and early attention to form, programme and technology.
02
A balance between plenary and free
A good Christmas party combines a shared programme with room for spontaneous conversation.
03
Clear communication to participants
Festive online events work better when people know beforehand what to expect, what they need and how they get in.
