5 Ideas to Celebrate the Festive Season Safely
Looking for ways to celebrate your successes and reward those who have held the business up during these unsteady times? Remote working has challenged our usual lines of communication and collaboration, but with the holiday season in full swing, it makes it a great time to reunite and bond with your teammates.
We’ve put together our top five celebration treats for your staff this year where you can support some local businesses while doing so!
1. Virtual Christmas party
For companies struggling with the challenges of holding an in real life celebration due to capacity limits or out-of-town colleagues - the pros of holding a virtual Christmas party are looking better and better! Revive your virtual celebrations with a wine and paint night or a virtual quiz night this is a great way to share the year’s successes with the team.

They have put together a fine selection of cocktail packages for groups of 20 or more, which are delivered to your door and presented over zoom. You’ll be bound to have a great time with the stress of planning taken off your mind.
2. Outdoor celebrations
Take the office party and holiday spirits outdoors this year and set up your end of year celebrations seaside or at the park. This is a great way to support locals by organising a food truck to cater or by organising some live music!
