Here are fun and exciting ways to virtually celebrate the holidays with your workmates this year

Christmas is definitely not cancelled this year! With a little creativity and some careful planning, you can enjoy a safe and secure Christmas celebration with your colleagues online. This is perfect for businesses who wish to continue practicing social distancing, as well as remote teams made up of members from different cities around the world.

To make the holidays even more exciting this year, you can use themes for your virtual Christmas events! If you have no clue as to where to start, we can help you with that! Here are 5 awesome ideas for an amazing e-celebration that can help bring your remote team closer, though physically apart, over the holidays.

Christmas-themed Game Night

A holiday-themed virtual game night is a fun team building activity, and a great way to celebrate Christmas with co-workers. Some exciting games to play are Secret Santa, Virtual Scavenger Hunt, Name That Tune, Holiday-Themed Trivia, and Charades.

Holiday Movie Marathon

With a screen sharing feature on your virtual platform, you can easily host a holiday movie marathon featuring your favorite Christmas films. Home Alone, The Holiday, and It's a Wonderful Life are just a few titles to consider. Make it extra by sending a care package with popcorn and other snacks to all of your guests before the party!

Holiday Happy Hour

For this virtual celebration, you simply eat, drink, and be merry together over the internet. To make this a little more fun, send out a recipe list of different holiday cocktails and mocktails that guests can prepare and enjoy during the event. Collaborate on a curated Christmas playlist, too, to make this party extra lively.

Crafty Christmas Get-Together

A crafting session is a great virtual party idea, and you can even invite the kids of your co-workers to join in the fun. Everyone works on an ornament, a Christmas card, or any other holiday-themed craft over the video call. One person can even lead the crafting class, and others may follow along. Remember to provide a list of materials needed in advance, or better yet, send each one a craft box with everything they need for the project.

Christmas Costume Party

A simple virtual dinner is made more fun when you turn it into a costume party. Make sure to prepare an awesome prize for those with the best outfits, such as digital shopping vouchers or e-wallet load. You can even mail each other your gifts in advance, so the entire team can bond while opening presents together over the call.

A free virtual platform is an ideal venue for a celebration like this, and a great option to consider is Lark.
