Christmas is a time for celebration and an opportunity to reward staff for their hard work throughout the year. Most staff Christmas party ideas consist of a Christmas meal and a few drinks. Although a welcome chance for staff to let there hair down away from their desk, for many staff, this is just one extra Christmas meal. Why not consider some alternative staff Christmas Party ideas that will give staff a unique experience to remember and will usher in the festive break with a bang.
6 Staff Christmas Party Ideas
- 1. Chisel all the Way – Ice Carving
Though the coldest time of the year, there is something magical about a pristine white landscape of snow and ice. Our Chisel all the way is a fantastic Christmas party idea for capturing this magic as teams, guided by our ice carving experts attempt to carve their very own Santa’s head sculpture. For the ultimate ice carving event, our Winter Wonderland event at the ice carving event at London’s unique Ice Bar provides an extra special experience. This amazing venue is unique as the UK’s only permanent bar made of ice.
2. Cook, Eat & Be Merry!
A Christmas themed version of our highly popular Corporate Cooking event, participants are split into teams and challenged to cook their own delicious Christmas dinner with the guidance of our professional chefs. Cook, Eat & Be Merry adds a creative and traditional spice to the more traditional staff Christmas Party meals. After enjoying an informal evening of cookery and light banter in our professional kitchens, you’ll have the opportunity to sit and enjoy your delicious creations.
3. Rockin’ Around The Christmas Cocktail
This is a staff Christmas party idea to really get guests in the festive spirit. Teams will have the chance to take part in a selection of fun and interactive head to head challenges including our favourite, The Stig Challenge!
