Hosting a corporate event during the holiday season lets you acknowledge a year of hard work and celebrate the accomplishments of your colleagues. With the right preparations, the party can be much more than just a time-honored tradition. As you organize this affair, here are a few ways to ensure everyone has fun.

5 Tips for an Unforgettable Holiday Corporate Event

1. Play Upbeat Music

Music can make or break an event. Playing upbeat and festive music can set the tone for your corporate event and create a lively atmosphere. The right music can encourage guests to dance and mingle, making your event more memorable. Consider hiring a DJ or live band to provide entertainment throughout the evening.

2. Serve Catering

Food and drinks are highlights of any party. Find a catering service that can come to your office or event venue to serve guests. Whether it's tray-passed appetizers or a themed buffet of globally inspired dishes, the right food spread will add to the elegance of your holiday event. Plus, the right corporate catering team will adapt to the tastes and dietary restrictions of every individual present.

3. Create Gift Bags

When your party comes to a close, end the festivities on a high note. Create custom gift bags each guest can take home. Whether it includes a company-branded mug, t-shirt, or seasonal treats like chocolates and candy, this extra touch will show your appreciation. Don't forget to add a card or thank-you note to personalize each gift bag.

4. Decorate With a Theme

Decorating your corporate event with a theme can make it more memorable and fun for your guests. Consider a winter wonderland theme, a holiday movie theme, or a festive color scheme. Work with a decorator to create a cohesive look throughout your event space. 

5. Provide Interactive Activities

Plan games and entertainment so workers have a way to pass the time and break the ice. Whether it's Secret Santa, dance contests, karaoke, a photo booth, gingerbread house decorating, or trivia games, having a few activities throughout the night will keep your team engaged and ensure your event is relaxing and enjoyable.
