It may seem early to be talking about the holidays, but the truth is, the most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner. Not to mention, pulling off a memorable workplace Christmas party is often a lot more work than anticipated, so planning ahead isn’t a bad idea.
Why not mix things up a little this holiday season with a unique party your employees will remember for years to come? Better yet, let Kelowna Concierge do the planning for you!
This year, ditch the punch bowls and potlucks and try one of these merry ideas instead.
Get into the holiday spirits
Is booze the star of your workplace parties? We get it, so here are some ideas to take that common interest and turn it into something more fun than watching Janice from accounting get blitzened and sing ‘Santa Baby’ on the karaoke machine yet again this year (because every workplace has a ‘Janice from accounting’).
Book a tasting and discover the amazing wine, beer or spirits that this region has to offer. Trying something new together as a group is a great bonding experience, and a little liquid courage will keep the conversations flowing.
If booking a tasting isn’t an option, host your own! A ‘blind wine tasting’ is sure to create a little friendly competition and produce some laughs. Another fun, liquor-inspired alternative is to attend a cocktail-making class. Not only will your team get to learn something new together, but they’ll surely enjoy sipping on their creations afterwards.
Whatever tickles your fancy, make sure you have rides arranged ahead of time for your group. Kelowna Concierge can arrange for transportation to make sure that everyone gets home safely.
Play some (reindeer) games
We’re not talking about charades or musical chairs here. Lots of cool new businesses have popped up in Kelowna over the past few years — take advantage of the fun opportunities they offer!
Ever tried axe throwing? It’s a blast, and a great way to (safely) take out some workplace aggression. HR will love it.
Dividing into teams and taking on an escape room challenge is also super amusing, and a great way to build team problem-solving skills. Win-win.
If neither of these ideas are quite up your alley, there’s always good ol’ fashioned bowling. Not skilled in the sport? No worries — tossing gutter balls is still fun as long as there’s good company, tasty snacks and some pitchers to go around.
S’mores roasting on an open fire
Is there anything quite as cozy as a nice, warm fire on a snowy winter evening?
Gather your team around a fire pit and sip hot cocoa, make s’mores, share stories and play games until you’re ready to settle your brains for a long winter’s nap. Just remember to dress warm so that Jack Frost doesn’t nip at your nose.
If you want to pull off the perfect holiday party this year, you may want to enlist some help. Luckily, there’s a way to take this holiday stressor off your plate without sacrificing the boss-of-the-year award.
