6 Ideas for a Memorable Christmas Staff Party in 2024

The holiday season is all about coming together and celebrating with your team, but planning the perfect Christmas staff party can feel overwhelming. At Team Tactics, we handle the planning and organising so you can focus on what matters most—enjoying the fun with your team. Whether you’re looking to spark creativity, give back to the community, or simply have a blast, we’ve got some fantastic ideas to make this year’s Christmas party truly unforgettable:

1. Get Creative

A hands-on workshop is a great way to get your team in the holiday spirit. Bring out your team’s creative side with fun activities like Christmas Wreath Making’, ‘Ice Carving’ (turn a block of ice into a reindeer!) or try the fascinating art of glass decoration fusing in ‘Santa’s Glass Workshop’.

  • Outcomes: Unique Christmas activity, team bonding, skill development and creative expression.

2. Do Something Charitable

Christmas is a time for giving, and what better way to celebrate than by engaging in activities that have a charitable cause? We offer a range of charity events that combine fun with philanthropy. Choose from ‘Build a Bike’, ‘Give a Helping Hand’, or ‘Cooking for the Homeless’ among others. These activities are a great way to give back to the community while strengthening team bonds.

  • Outcomes: A sense of fulfilment, enhanced team spirit and the joy of giving back.

3. Festive Cooking Class

If your team is full of foodies or simply wants to try something different from the traditional Christmas meal, our ‘Cook, Eat and Be Merry’ activity is a fantastic option. Guided by expert chefs, you’ll cook a seasonal menu and then enjoy your delicious creations with your team.

  • Outcomes: A unique take on the staff Christmas meal, culinary skills, and delicious memories made together.

4. Cocktail Making

What’s Christmas without a little cheer? Our cocktail-making class, Rockin’ Around the Christmas Cocktail, is a fun, interactive way to celebrate the season. You and your team will learn to make five different cocktails, enjoying each other’s company in a lively, festive atmosphere. We offer central London locations, or we can bring the bar to you with our mobile event service.

  • Outcomes: A festive and lively gathering, perfect for bringing colleagues together over some holiday spirits.

5. London Treasure Hunts

Really soak up the magic of London at Christmas by exploring it’s festive streets with our exciting Yuletide Treasure Hunts. We offer various themes and locations to suit all interests:

  • Scrooge’s Scavenger Charity Hunt: This event combines the excitement of a treasure hunt with a charitable element, much like an episode of The Apprentice. Part of the proceeds will go to our homeless charity partner, Porchlight, or a charity of your choice.
  • Pub Pit Stop: Perfect for those who enjoy a more social adventure. Visit some of London’s iconic pubs, answer trivia questions, complete challenges, and learn fun Christmas facts along the way.
  • Crystal Team Challenge: Based on the 90s hit TV show Crystal Maze, this festive twist on the classic challenge will have your team navigating through four themed zones of London, completing tasks and collecting crystals.

Outcomes: Explore the best of London during the festive season, enjoy some friendly competition, and maybe even discover a few new favourite spots in the city.
